Abstract

Primary productivity pertains to the quantity of energy accessible to sustain the biological functions of aquatic ecosystems. The current study seeks to evaluate the productivity conditions in Lonar Lake. The standard Light and Dark bottle experiments with the ¹⁴C method, as recommended by APHA (1991) and Trivedy and Goel (1987), were carried out monthly for a one-year duration from April 2009 to March 2010. Productivity rose from January to June but fell once more from July to December. The peak productivity levels were observed in May and June.
