Phytoplanktons are primitive, usually aquatic, photosynthetic and delightful organisms in their diversity and efficacy. Phytoplankton comprises a well-organized system for trapping the solar energy. These miniature amaze ball phykos alone contribute 90% of the total oxygen produced by the plant kingdom. They are prime manufacturers in water ecology and play a crucial role in converting sewage and waste water into beneficial biomass. Most of the Phytoplanktons grow in different water bodies such as ponds, pools, ditches, lakes, reservoirs, rivers and oceans. But some of them are common and widespread in habitat of the soil surface layer wherever moisture and sunlight are available. The main aim of the present study was to explore the phytoplankton from Manakondur Freshwater Lake, study the diversity pattern and assess quality of the lake. In the present study was carried out of one year from June 2020 to May 2021. A total number of 35 species were recorded. The phytoplankton diversity study provided several new data with many of the phytoplankton taxa being recorded for the first time in study site, such as 15 species among the Chlorophyceae, 9 species of the Cyanophyceae,4 species of the Euglenophyceae and 7 species of the Bacillariophyceae. The present observations revealed that Chlorophyceae species were dominant followed by Cyanophyceae, followed by Euglenophyceae and Bacillariophyceae were observed during the study period.There were percentage of Chlorophyceae (45%),Cyanophyceae(25%),Euglenophyceae(17%) and Bacillariophyceae(13%).
