Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Investigation of pelagic plankton communities from some freshwater ponds of Pirojpur and Barisal districts revealed the presence of 17 species under the genus Trachelomonas Ehr. for the first time in Bangladesh.

Keywords: Phytoplankton, Trachelomonas, New records, Ponds, Bangladesh

Location: 7 domestic ponds and 1 river channel of Bakerganj (Barisal) and 6 ponds of Mathbaria (Pirojpur)

Start Date: 00-00-2004

End Date: 00-00-2006

Program Area: Resource Development and Management

Commodity: Plankton

Objectives:

The present authors while working on some pond plankton samples collected from Mathbaria of Pirojpur district and Bakerganj of Barisal district noticed the occurrence of a number interesting species of Trachelomonas.

Methodology:

Plankton concentrates obtained via plankton net and sedimentation technique by Lugol's solution were used for the present study (Khondker et al. 2006). Collection of samples was carried out from 7 domestic ponds and 1 river channel of Bakerganj (Barisal) and 6 ponds of Mathbaria (Pirojpur) in between 2004 and 2006. Details of the sampling procedure and descriptions of the sites have been published in Khondker et al. (2006). Taxonomic enumeration In all 17 taxa of the genus Trachelomonas Ehr. family Euglenaceae were identified from the pelagic plankton communities of different ponds of Mathbaria and Bakerganj. An illustrated account of these species have been provided in the present paper.
