Abstract
The present study investigated the seasonal
variations in zooplankton communities and water quality parameters in the
Bhadar-II Dam Dhoraji, Rajkot district of Gujarat, India, over a one-year
period, from January 2023 to December 2023. Four major zooplankton groups,
Rotifera (13), Protozoa (13), Cladocera (8), and Copepoda (7) were found. To
understand the water quality in this site, various physico-chemical parameters
such as dissolved oxygen (DO), biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen
demand (COD), Turbidity, electric conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids
(TDS), total suspended solids (TSS), total hardness, color, cholorinity and pH
were analyzed. Out of them Dissolved oxygen fixation were done at the sampling
site while other parameters were analysed in a laboratory using standardized
methods as per APHA,2017. A comprehensive understanding of these parameters can
provide valuable insights into the health of these ecosystems and aid in their
preservation and management in freshwater ecosystems. Overall, the study
highlights the importance of monitoring and studying zooplankton diversity and
associated parameters in freshwater ecosystems, as this information can provide
crucial insights into the conditions of these ecosystems and contribute to
their proper conservation and management.
