QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE ASSESSMENT OF ZOOPLANKTON OF LIMBOTI DAM, LOHA TALUKA IN NANDED DISTRICT (M.S.) INDIA
Keywords:
Limboti dam, Zooplankton, Cladocera, Rotifera, Ostracoda.Abstract
Zooplankton diversity reflects the quality of water also they are good indicators of the changes in water quality because they are strong affected by environmental conditions and respond quickly to changes in water quality. Hence quantitative studies of Zooplankton are of great importance. In the present study was conducted to the quantitative and qualitative assessment of Zooplankton of Limboti dam of Loha Taluka in Nanded District Maharashtra, India during the year June 2018 to May 2019. Presently 25 Zooplankton genera representing various group 10 species of Rotifera, 6 species of copepod, 5 species of Cladocera, 4 species of Ostracoda. The highest count of Rotifera 10 species was record in the month of May.
