Abstract

Rotifers being an important food resource for fishes, act as an indicator of trophic status besides water quality of an aquatic ecosystem. The impact of alkalinity and hardness on Rotifer diversity of Pandu lake was evaluated for a period of two years, August 2002 to July 2004. The total alkalinity and total hardness was above the permissible limits and the rotifers were found throughout the study period indicating the eutrophic status of Pandu lake.
