Abstract
The zooplankton fauna of Kishanganj swamps in relation to certain physico-chemical parameter was studied. Out of 28 species recorded, 18 belong to Rotifera, 6 to C/adocera and 4 to Copepoda. The total zooplankton density was more in summer and least in rainy season. The quantitative relationship amongst the group of zooplankton was Rotifera> Cladocera> Copepoda. Zooplankton also comprised of some pollution tolerant species like Brachionus, Keratella and Mesocyclops etc. The Rotifers showed negative correlation with pH, sulphate and dissolved oxygen Cladocerans showed negative correlation with pH, sulphate and phosphate while Copepods revealed negative correlation with pH, sulphate and water temperature.
