I want to do liminology of my fish pond. My major concern is with different types of algae present in the pond. ....kindly share your experience regarding sampling of algae and cell count per liter....

For phytoplankton be use a 20μm net (for qualitative samples). But for quantitative comparisons you need the volumen of water (the amount of water passing through the collecting net).
In a fish pood if you want quantitative results take samples in bottles, fixed with Lugol’s iodine solution, and you can use the Utermöhl method (sedimentation chambers and inverted microscope).
I hope these information is useful
