Description :
Biological monitoring based on ecology of the zooplankton has been recognized as an excellent and in-expensive tool for measuring pollution level in water.The study ofaquatic ecosystem without the study of itszooplankton is incomplete. Many zooplanktonplay a key role in food chain. The present study is carried out to study zooplankton in Janala lake in the year 2016-17. In the present investigation, zooplankton population was found to becomprised of 27 genera belonging to 04 different classes, viz. Rotifera, Copepoda, Cladocera and Ostracoda. Group Rotifers represented by 11 species, Copepoda represented by 05 species Cladoceraby10 and Ostracoda by only one species.
