Diversity of Zooplankton in some lentic water bodies of Karwar
Keywords:
Zooplankton, Kali River, Diversity, Correlation and lenticAbstract
Zooplanktons are the microscopic animals present in the water bodies. They play a major role in food chain of any ecosystem. The study was carried in Kali River for the period of Oct 2012 to Dec 2013. Kali River was further divided into six sub stations (rivers). In the present study an effort being made to study the diversity of Zooplankton diversity in different selected sites and their relation with hydro biological parameters.
