Abstract

The present research paper deals with the zooplankton fauna composition in two different fresh water lakes Satara Bhosale and Satara Tukum located in Pombhurna tehsil of Chandrapur district in Maharashtra state, during the period Feb 2016 to Jan 2017 in three different seasons. The studies were focussed on qualitative aspect of zooplankton during 3 different seasons viz. summer, winter and monsoon at different sampling locations. In satara Bhosale lake 34 different species were recorded while in Satara tukum lake waters there are 38 different species thriving. The recorded groups of zooplankton belonged to Protozoa, Rotifera, Cladocera, Copepoda and Ostracoda. The beautiful biodiversity of the animal fauna is represented through these diverse zoopanktonic forms. Through these qualitative studies a beautiful picture of biodiverse zooplanktonic forms of nature emerge on which the world of fishes sustain.
