Abstract

Abstract: Phytoplankton and water samples were repeatedly collected in November 2015; February and May 2016 from 12 sampling sites in Truc Bach lake. 115 species and subspecies of phytoplankton had been recorded. They belong to 5 divisions (Cyanobacteriophyta, Bacillariophyta, Pyrrophyta, Euglenophyta, Chlorophyta). Cyanobacteriophyta hadthe largest density (23 species, 8021 cells/l). Based on Palmer index (Pollution index), Shannon - Weiner index (Diversity index)and physiochemical and biological parameters, we found that Truc Bach lake was polluted with organic substances, especially substances that are hard to decompose and nitrogenous sewage.

Keywords: Phytoplankton, biodiversity, water quality, Truc Bach lake.
