Abstract
The present study was undertaken to study the seasonal algal diversity of Mahi Bajaj Sagar Dam at Borkheda village of Banswara district of Rajasthan state. From January to December 2023, the periodicity of Chlorophyceae algae of Mahi bajaj Sagar Dam,was investigated.In this study 29 species in all, representing 17 genera in the Chlorophyceae class, were found. The Chlorophyceae of Mahi Bajaj Sagar Dam included several common genera, including Scenedesmus, Closterium, Spirogyra, Cosmarium, and Pediastrum. In different study areas and during different months, the amount of algae varied. Scenedesmus displayed the highest population. While some species were represented only during a specific season, others were common throughout the year. It was discovered that the algal population peaked in the summer and declined in the winter. Between May and October, the population of microalgae like Pediastrum, Scenedesmus, Cosmarium, and Closterium causes the water to turn green. Seasonal ecological influences have a significant impact on phytoplankton seasonal successions. High pH and temperature were found to be conducive to the Chlorophycean algae’s fast development in the current study.
