Resumen

Microcystis was major toxin-producing cyanobacterial species, may highly found in eutrophication water bodies. The cyanobacterial toxins are increase the aquatic stress, and may leads to nutrients load in aquatic ecosystems. In the present study, Microcystis flos-aquae, and Microcystis wesenbergi was recorded for the first in the valankulam lake, at Coimbatore district, Tamil Nadu, India. In addition, some hydrographical characteristics viz., Water Temperature, pH , Salinity, DO, TDS, EC, Phosphate, Total alkalinity, and Nitrate was also analysed during the study period from September-2021 to May-2022.
