Abstract

Zooplankton composition of Lakhani Lake, Lakhani of Bhandara district has been studied for a year. A total of 21 species were identified. 9 of them belonging to Rotifera, 8 to Cladocera, 3 to Copepoda and 01 to ostracoda. The study of zooplankton diversity would be very useful in preparing the biodiversity atlas of the planktonic species as well as in future environment impact assessment studies.
