Abstract
The qualitative plankton of managed pond (pond 1) and unmanaged pond (pond 2) was studied in Anaikkadu, Thanjavur district. The study was undertaken on February first 2015. A total six classes of phytoplankton and three classes of zooplankton were recorded which contained 15 phytoplankton and twelve zooplankton species from both pond 1 and pond 2. Out of which eight species of phytoplankton and ten species of zooplankton were common at both the pond. Pond 1 alone had ten species of phytoplankton and twelve species of zooplankton. Pond 2 had fifteen species of phytoplankton and ten species of zooplankton. Pond 1 was richer in zooplankton and pond 2 was richer in phytoplankton. An inverse relationship was observed between phytoplankton and zooplankton abundance.
