Abstract

The Plankton analysis along with physico-chemical  characteristics of water was carried out on the four  sampling sites in the paddy fields of Kakching District.  Temperature, transparency, pH, dissolved oxygen,  chloride, total alkalinity, acidity, hardness, nitrate and  nitrite etc. were analysed and observed in favour on  plankton in the paddy fields of the study areas.  Phytoplankton recorded as increase during rainy season  while decrease in zooplankton during the last part of  October. Total 870 plankton, comprising 627  phytoplankton and 243 zooplankton were listed during  the investigation period, July to October 2021.
