Abstract
The study of freshwater planktons is an imperative study for understanding aquatic ecosystems, as these microscopic organisms play a dynamic role in biogeochemical cycles and serve as indicators of water quality. This research emphasizes the identification of freshwater planktons using traditional microscopic techniques. By employing compound microscopy, I file the diversity of planktons in freshwater bodies. The integration of these methods allows for a comprehensive assessment of plankton diversity and offers insights into their ecological roles and distribution patterns. The findings helped in monitoring freshwater ecosystems, managing water resources, and understanding the influences of environmental changes on aquatic biodiversity.
