Culture studies of phytoplankton isolated from Sumiling Dam and their bioremediation capacity in aquaculture wastewater.

Sumiling Dam in Sarrat, Ilocos Norte, is home to diverse phytoplankton species. This study aims to isolate and identify phytoplankton species, optimize the cultivation of one phytoplankton under varying light, pH, and temperature conditions, and assess its bioremediation capacity in aquaculture wastewater. Three stations were set up at the site, each with three sampling points spaced 3-5 m apart.
