AN ASSESSMENT OF ZOOPLANKTON COMMUNITY AND PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF SAFARI ZOO LAKE, LAHORE

The pattern of zooplanktons species composition can bring out changes in the interlinked micro-invertebrate and fish composition of any water body, so both the compositions shape up dynamic nature of whole community (Das et al., 2020). According to their observations, Rotifers came out to be diverse...

Summary:The pattern of zooplanktons species composition can bring out changes in the interlinked micro-invertebrate and fish composition of any water body, so both the compositions shape up dynamic nature of whole community (Das et al., 2020). According to their observations, Rotifers came out to be diverse, abundant and rich group of zooplankton in comparison with the rest of types. A zooplankton net of mesh size 37 pm fitted in a circular frame of 30 cm diameter and fixed with 90 cm long rope was dipped and towed in the water to allow about 50 liters of water to pass through it horizontally for five minutes. Physico-chemical parameters studied include Temperature (Air and Water), Turbidity, Salinity, Electrical conductivity, Oxygen Saturation, Dissolved Oxygen and Transparency.
