Seasonal Variation of Productivity of Lonar Meteoritic Lake (Maharashtra) India

The quantity of energy available to sustain the biological activity of aquatic habitats is correlated with primary productivity. The goal of the current study is to evaluate Lonar Lake's productivity level. As recommended by APHA (1991) and Trivedy and Goel (1987), it was ascertained using monthly Light and Dark bottle tests with the ¹⁴C method, carried out during study period (April 2009 to March 2010). Between January and June, productivity rose, but between July and December, it fell once more. The months of May and June had the greatest productivity figures.
