Detailed Ecological Assessment Report 2008 – Keenjhar Lake pollution from agricultural and domestic waste. Oil spills from motorized boats directly affect the phytoplankton and algal vegetation. To further strengthen these findings further studies should be conducted to monitor the growth, production and degradation of phytoplankton and algal vegetation. The community must be educated about the importance of phytoplankton as an integral part of the food chain. Care must be taken during fishing season to maintain the flora and fauna of the sea. 3.7 Zooplankton 3.7.1 Sampling locations Map 11 shows the sampling point for zooplankton collection from Keti Bunder. Details of the sampling points can be found in the annexure document. Map 11 – showing the sampling points for zooplankton collection at Keti Bunder 3.7.2 Summary The crustaceans captured from the Keti Bunder were catalogued and identified at the lowest taxonomic level, which in most of the cases was the species, and in some cases, genus for that species. As most of the prawns captured from the area WWF Pakistan – Indus for All Programme Page 103 of 188
Detailed Ecological Assessment Report 2008 – Keenjhar Lake belong to the genus Macrobrachium it is therefore vital to briefly discuss this economically imperative decapod genus, which, owing to its high fecundity, appropriate size and adaptability in the cultural practices has been a distinct focus of the prawn farmers and fisheries activities globally since decades. Following is its taxonomic hierarchy.
