Study of Zooplankton Diversity in Vadsar Village Pond at Gandhinagar District of Gujarat

Authors(1) :-G. P. Prajapati

Vadsar Village pond is situated in gandhinagar district. Zooplankton is maintain proper equilibrium between biotic and abiotic components of the aquatic ecosystem also it important component of aquatic flora serve as a major component of aquatic food chain. The present investigation deals with study of diversity zooplankton of Vadsar Village pond. The work was carried out for the period of one year that is October 2016 to September 2017. The zooplankton of Vadsar Village pond water is represented by five different groups like Protozoa, Rotifera, Cladocera, Copepoda, Ostracods with 19 different species were identified and recorded in Vadsar Village pond. Rotifera dominant among zooplankton and this indicates the polluted nature of the pond water.
