Trophic status of Kama reservoir according to phytoplankton occurence in summer period

The analysis of Kama reservoir phytoplankton was studied out August 2013, when there was revealed that maximum nuber of taxa below the genus level were registered in green algae. Diatomic algae were predominant according to biomass, while the abundance was identified among blue-green algae. Considering the chlorophyll a concentration, number, phytoplankton biomass, total phosphorus content and water transparency the Kama reservoir could be attributed to the mesotrophic-eutrophic category.
