Phytoplankton density, phosphorus quantity, carbon and nitrogen in Apanás Lake, Jinotega, 2019

Keywords: Lake; phytoplankton; sediment

Abstract

This research consisted of gathering information on the population density of phytoplankton and the amount of nutrients (carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus) present in the sediment of Apanás Lake, it should be noted that this body of water is artificial. Regarding the methodology, 3 water and sediment sampling points were chosen, at the entrance, middle zone and exit of the Lake (Fuentes, 2017). In the results, it was possible to show a relationship between the amount of nutrients and the microalgae population, it should be considered that the nutrients provided by runoff may also have influenced
