The Vertical Profiles of Phytoplankton in Danau Pinang Luar Buluh CinaVillage, Siak Hulu Sub- District, District Kampar, Riau Province

Abstract

This research was conducted on the Danau Pinang Luar Buluh Cina Village Siak HuluSubdistrict District Kampar Riau Province in April - Mei 2013 and aims to understand thephytoplankton vertical rofil in the Pinang Luar Lake. There were 3 stations, station 1 isincomingwater area, Station 2 is agencies lake area. Station 3 is end of the lake area. Samplings wereconducted 3 times, once/week.This research aims to determine the vertical profile ofphytoplankton of Danau Pinang Luar.The results showed 24 species of phytoplankton were classified into four classes, namely:Chlorophyceae (11 species), Cyanophyceae (7 species),Bacillariophyceae (5 species), Euglenophyceae (1 species). Average phytoplankton abundancearound 61578 - 495112 cells/l, species diversity index (H ') of phytoplankton around 4,21 - 4,51,uniformity index around 0,87 - 0,93 and dominance index (C) of about 0,046- 0,063. While thewater quality parameters such as temperature of 31°C, the brightness around 65 - 70 cm, a depth ofapproximately 261,7 - 461.7 cm, pH 6, Dissolved Oxygen approximately 2,93 – 6,4 mg/l, free ofcarbon dioxide around 3,96 – 11,88 mg/l, Nitrate around 0,01-0,02 mg/l, Phosphate approximately0,023 mg/l. Based on the abundance of phytoplankton, concluded that Danau Pinang Luar Outerrelatively moderate fertility levels.Keyword : Phytoplankton, Buluh Cina Village, Danau Pinang Luar
