ZOOPLANKTON DIVERSITY IN A GODAVARI RIVER NEAR NANDED CITY
Abstract
Zooplanktons are worldwide distributed organism and they are found to inhabit all freshwater tropical and subtropical
wetlands.The present investigation deals with the study of monthly changes of diversity and density of Zooplanktons in
Godavari river near Nanded city.The work was carried out for the period bof one year from June 2017 to May 2018.The population status of
Zooplanktons In Godavari river near Nanded city consisted of 40 genera, categorised into three major groups, viz, Rotifera> Cladocera>
Copepoda. The Zooplanktons sample consisted of 53%Rotifera, 25%Cladocera and 22%Copepoda respectively. Rotifera were the major group of
Zooplanktons recorded with respect to diversity and population density status.
