Seasonal Variations in Zooplankton of Gomti River at Sultanpur, U.P.
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Zoology
Abstract
During the 12-month period from July 2019 to June 2020, a study was conducted to assess the seasonal fluctuations of zooplankton along the Gomti river stretch in Sultanpur, Uttar Pradesh. In all three seasons, the zooplankton population was represented by 25 genera belonging to four different groups: Protozoa (6 genera), Copepoda (4 genera), Cladocera (8 genera), and Rotifera (8 genera) (7 genera). The highest density was found in the current study during the summer season, followed by the winter and rainy seasons. During the whole study period, Rotifer's population was dominant among documented zooplankton.
Keywords
