STUDY OF THE ZOOPLANKTON DIVERSITY OF FIVE STUDY STATIONS IN AMRAVATI REGION, MAHARASHTRA AND IMPACT OF SEASONAL VARIATIONS
Lakes help in providing water, preventing floods, pisciculture, transportation, and tourists recreation site. The rapid pace of industrialization, along with the indiscriminate application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture, has led to severe and diverse pollution in aquatic environments, resulting in the degradation of water quality and the depletion of aquatic life. The present study was conducted to assess the biological constituents of some water bodies in Amravati region, Maharashtra with particular focus on zooplankton communities. For study five study stations were selected including Wadali lake, Chatri lake, Ghatkhed lake, Rajura lake and Bhor lake. The study revealed the population diversity of zooplanktons at the respective study stations. Zooplankton community analysis revealed dominance of Rotifera, Cladocera, Protozoa, Ostracoda and Copepoda diversity during the study.
