Abstract

Seasonal variation in physico-chemical and zooplankton communities of Dejla Dewada Reservoir (D.D.R.), West Nimar district (Khargone) was studied during October 2009 to September 2010. Protozoa, Rotifera, Copepoda, Cladocera and Ostrcoda were found dominated zooplanktonic groups. The total zooplankton density ranged between 879 unit/L to 2980 unit/L.The composition of zooplankton was found as Protozoa >Rotifera>Copepoda>Cladocera>Ostracoda.
