Abstract:
Zooplanktons are the microscope free swimming organisms of aquatic system. There are represented by a wide array of taxonomic groups of which the members belonging to protozoa, Rotifera, Cladocera and Copepoda are most common and often dominate the entire communities. They have many remarkable features which hamper their predation by higher organisms. The members of Zooplankton community are important for their role in trophic dynamics, energy transfer in the aquatic ecosystem. They provide food for fishes in the water bodies and play a major role in the fish production. The zooplankton community was studied by monthly samples taken from Oct. 2018 to Feb. 2019. The reservoir water is used for agriculture and fishery activities.
