✦ Synopsis

Species composition and periodicity of phytoplankton were studied in relation to various physieo-chemical pmameters over a period of 18 months in the two basins of Lake Sat Tal. Taxonomic analysis led t o 54 species. Phytoplankton density in the euphotic zone ranged from 0.33 >( lo5 t o 4.12 x 105 cells 1-1 in the western basin (W'B) and 1.31 x 10" t o 6.05 x i05 cells I-' in the eastern basin (EB). The dinoflagellates (Peridiniuni willei. P. cineturn., Gymnodinium fuscum) which were relatively insignificant concerning number reached very high values concerning biomass, contributing 89 (I,,) and 92 ~~o . respectively, t o the t,ot,al phytoplankt,on standing stock. Various factors as rainfall, light, temperature, organic matter, nutrients (particularly POI,-€'), silicate, were observed to play a n important role in the periodicity of phytoplankton. Similarity coefficients revealed that t,he algal population was not very homogenous all the year round with similarities between conseciitive sllmples ranging from 16 to 77 ( l o in \VB and 21 "/I to 76 ",'o in EB.

A comprehensive study of phyto-and zooplankton and macrozoobenthic components in Lake Xainital showed that species richness was high for plankton and low for macrozoobenthos. The algal biomass was dominated by greens (54 O/") and blue-greens (31 4"), the zooplankton population by copepods (84 O/o),
