Abstract

Wetlands play a vital role in maintaining the biodiversity and lively hood of the human being. Atpadi is one of the drought prone tahsil of Sangli district of Maharashtra. In aquatic ecosystem of Nimbavade, a total number of ten macrophytes were reported. The phytoplankton play an important role in aquatic ecosystem as a primary producers,and have a unique ability to fix inorganic carbon to build up organic substances through primary production. The Chlorophyceae represented by 18 species. The Cyanophyceae members were represented by 07 species. The Bacillariophyceae observed 04 species. Dinophyceae and Euglenophyceae represented by 01 species each. This wetland is secondarily being used for capture fishery.Important major carps, common carp, Chinese carp and 09 local fish species occurred in this reservoir. There were 24 species of aquatic birds were observed in the vicinity of Nimbavade reservoir. Attempts have been made to observe the diversity of macrophytes, phytoplankton, fish and bird diversity to obtain the baseline data from Nimbavade reservoir of Sangli district from June 2013 to May 2015.
