Abstract

The zooplanktonic composition and its community structure in three selected wetlands of Barak valley were investigated for a period of one year sampling every month. The zooplankton fauna comprised of 36 species belonging to three group viz., rotifera, cladocera and copepoda. The relative abundance of rotifera was high in two studied areas (site 2 and site 3) 48.05% and 43.80% respectively. The zooplankton species richness indices were high in site 2 than the other observed study areas. The detailed aspect of composition, abundance and diversity trend of zooplankton fauna is discussed herein.
