Summary:Study of coastal and estuarine water is important as they act as a medium of exchange of materials between land and ocean. Mahanadi estuarine system forms the largest system of its kind in Odisha. Zooplankton, the secondary producers plays a vital role in the hydrobiology and food chain regulation. The zooplankton diversity of Mahanadi estuary (Odisha) was investigated during postmonsoon (December 2009), premonsoon (April 2010) and monsoon (July 2010). Important hydrographical parameters such as water temperature, salinity, pH and dissolved oxygen.
