Abstract

The present work was carried out from October 2012 to December 2013. The main aim of the study was to analyse the diversity, evenness and richness of zooplankton species in some Reserviours of Karwar. The samples were collected during morning hours and were analyzed monthly for different parameter. Results showed that the larval forms were dominant throughout the study period followed by copepods and protozoa group.
