Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the zooplankton abundance and their monthly variation in river Ganga water. Zooplankton could be the bio-indicator of health status of an aquatic system and their study. The out come of this study shows that the most abundant zooplankton species was Ceriodaphnia throughout the study period and total number of zooplankton is high during winter season when the temperature is relatively low.
