Abstract
An extensive study of the ecology and systematics of Rotifers in the Ramala Lake of Chandrapur was made from May-2006 to April-2007. The Rotifers constituted 34.6% of total zooplankton and their density ranged from 300 to 2000 ind/ltr. The higher density of Rotifers was recorded during winter season whereas, mini- mum observed in summer. Dominance of Family Brachionidae was observed during the whole period of investigation indicates the eutrophication in the ecosystem.
