## Abstract An attempt has been made to examine the extent to which seasonal periodicity of lacustrine phytoplankton corresponds to the general concepts of the theory of ecological succession. The study was carried out on an eutrophic lake (Aydat, France). As REYNOLDS (1980, 1984) suggests, the sea

Abstract
The monthly variation in the phytoplankton was investigated for a period of 2 years at Netravathi river of the Western Ghat region. The number of individual species of phytoplankton were enumerated on the basis of the cell count with an inverted microscope. The diatoms were dominant during winter (November, December) and the blueโgreen algae were dominant during summer (March, April). Myxophyceae, Dinophyceae and Xanthophyceae were sparsely represented. A relationship between different environmental parameters, heavy metals and planktonic communities was established. Some of these environmental factors show significant correlations, whereas some others correlated not at all.
