Detailed Ecological Assessment Report 2008 – Keti Bunder the filtrate is measured. The volume of the plankton is then obtained by the difference between the two volumes. A measure of the total catch is also e by weighing the filtered plankton. One ml of the concentrated sample may contain so many organisms that it would be very difficult to count them. One ml of the concentrated sample was therefore diluted to 100 ml and out of this diluted sample, one ml was taken. Identification and counting the samples was done under a dissecting microscope with dark-field illumination. Staining was not required although a drop of glycerin was put on each individual specimen isolated from the jar in order to avoid any damage to the samples. 2.8 Physico-chemical properties of water The samples were collected in pre monsoon (July 2007) and post monsoon (October 2007) period. The samples were collected in clean acid rinsed bottles for the general water quality parameters such as pH, temperature, conductivity TDS, Total Hardness, Chlorides, Phenol, Sulphates, turbidity, ions and four heavy elements. The BOD and COD water samples were collected in separate coloured water bottles and kept in ice box for preservation. All samples were properly sealed under specific codes/labels and dispatched to the water quality laboratory the day after the collection with proper custody protocol. The sampling strategy was designed according to the site conditions and in consultation with the WWF team deployed at the study area. The sampling scenario was designed to cover some town area and creeks that should highlight the environmental effects on livelihoods. The location points and their significance are highlighted in Table 2. Water samples were drawn considering full depth of standing water or flowing water. The sample location points were marked on GPS maps GPS which will be used as reference points for future studies. The technique and methodology used for analyzing the samples are given in the annex document.
