Abstract

In the present investigation the selected lake is Kandlapally Lake for the purpose of study. During the study period the total number of seventeen species are identified from the selected lake during the present study. The total zooplankton population was dominated by Rotifera, Cladocera, Copepoda and Ostracoda respectively. In the present study the total Eight number of Rotifera sps, three number of Copepoda sps excluding of Nauplius Larva, four number of Cladocera sps and Two number of Ostracoda sps in both the selected stations during the year 2012Febraury to 2013 January.
