| Abstract | Abstract: Lamingo reservoir was investigated twice (one week apart) during the month of May 2011 in order to document a preliminary inventory of phytoplankton occurring in the system. Physico-chemical parameters (i.e. temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, nitrate-nitrogen and phosphate-phosphorus) were equally monitored. 22 species of diatoms, 18 species of green algae, 9 species of blue-green algae, and 5 species of dinoflagellates were recorded in samples collected from the reservoir. The cyanobacteria group included the potentially harmful genus Microcystis. A suggestion is made for the continuous monitoring of surface drinking water sources in Nigeria if a good-status water body is desired for the systems. |
