  This study aimed to determine the plankton abundance in selected brackish water fishponds in southern part of Surigao del Sur. A one-shot sampling was done on February 2019 at Lingig, Bislig and Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur, Philippines. This was conducted to identify which of the selected brackish water fishponds has the highest and least productivity of plankton. All the water quality parameters such as the temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, ammonia, salinity and nitrite were within the optimal ranges for plankton productivity in all stations. A total of four groups of phytoplankton; Cyanophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Dinophyceae and Chlorophyceae and six groups of zooplankton; Rotifera, Copepad, Cladoceran, Tintinnida (ciliate), Protozoa and Pelecypod larva were identified. The phytoplankton comprised of 33 genera in which Cya.. Read More»
