This is a comprehensive review of phytoplankton ecology in freshwater. A review study was undertaken for the better understanding of the phytoplankton distribution. The relations of phytoplankton with factors like lake temperature, sunlight exposure period, sunlight penetration, water pH, wind, transparency, seasonal variations, water characteristics, nutrient enrichment and prey-predator relation in the lakes of India. From the results, authors noticed that each lake habitat is different from other lake habitat. Finally, authors concluded that phytoplankton ecology is an indicator for the evaluation of impacts of influencing factors. These factors provide a suitable management plan for lakes. Phytoplankton ecology provides a ground for monitoring and assessing the strategies of the fresh water lake management.
