Abstract

The present study deals with the diversity of zooplankton and physico-chemical parameters of fresh water bodies from the Satara district. The present work is carried out for 2 years from June 2006 to May 2008. A total of  five major groups of zooplankton namely rotifers > copepods >cladocearans>protozoan >ostracods were reported during course of study. The study reports 66 species of zooplankton where rotifers dominates all other groups.
