Abstract
The Plankton analysis along with physico-chemical characteristics of water was carried out on the four sampling sites in the paddy fields of Kakching District. Temperature, transparency, pH, dissolved oxygen, chloride, total alkalinity, acidity, hardness, nitrate and nitrite etc. were analysed and observed in favour on plankton in the paddy fields of the study areas. Phytoplankton recorded as increase during rainy season while decrease in zooplankton during the last part of October. Total 870 plankton, comprising 627 phytoplankton and 243 zooplankton were listed during the investigation period, July to October 2021.
