The contents of nitrogen and organism in sediment were high, however, the contents of phosphorus was low. The max density of phytoplankton and zooplankton in water bodies appeared in August. In other months the quantity and species were low. There were fewer species but larger quantity in both of Cyanophyta and Chlorophyta than diatoms.
