ZOOPLANKTON DIVERSITY IN SATHANUR RESERVOIR OF THIRUVANNAMALAI (TAMILNADU), INDIA
Journal Title: International Journal of Biological Innovations - Year 2020, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The present investigation was an attempt to study the zooplankton community of Sathanur reservoir of Thiruvannamalai, Tamilnadu, India. The zooplankton species composition was studied for a period of one year from October 2018 to September 2019 on monthly interval basis. As a result of study, 24 zooplankton species were identified, out of which 9 were Rotifers, 7 Cladocerans, 5 Copepods and 3 Ostracodans. The overall population density of zooplankton was found maximum during the summer season and mininmum during monsoon. They play a supportive role in fish culture by recycling of nutrients and increase the soil fertility and involve in energy transfer between phytoplankton and fishes.
