The systematic study of the samples revealed the presence of 32 species of zooplankton with a predominance of the copepods which represented 14 species dominated by the species of <em>oithona nana</em> and 31 species of phytoplankton. The evolution of the species diversity of plankton, estimated by the index of Shannon-Weaver (H ') and Margalef (Dmg) were recorded a maximum values on June and minimum on May 19th, June 30th and July 21st.
