Abstract
Physico-chemical parameters
and zooplankton were assessed Lal Diggi pond from January to December, 2008.
Four groups of zooplankton were recorded. Rotifera constituted the main
dominant group in this pond contributing 44.89 % of the total zooplankton
population followed by Cladocera (30.41 %), Copepoda (15.51 %) and Ostracoda
(4.68 %). The highest density of zooplankton was recorded during January and
February being 197 and 182 no l-1 respectively,
while the lowest density was recorded during May and June being 64 no l-1 each could be due to the
negative and significant value of correlation between zooplankton and water
temperature (r = -0.700). These data is supported by similarity indices
which recorded high values during January and February while the lowest
values recorded during June and July.
