Seasonal Distribution of Zooplankton Diversity in Tavarekere Lake of Kodagu District, Karnataka
Keywords:
Bioindicators, Canonical Correspondence Assay, Copepods, Rotifera, ZooplanktonAbstract
The quality of an aquatic habitat is measured by its species diversity. The study was carried out to document the zooplankton diversity in Tavare kere Lake of Kodagu, Karnataka.The water samples were collected from June 2020- May 2021. 16 species belonging to Rotifers, Cladocerans, Copepods, and Nematodes were documented. Rotifers were abundant at 50%, followed by Copepods at 31%, Cladocera at 13%, and Nematodes at 6%. The population density followed the order; Rotifers> Copepods> Cladocerans> Nematodes, with the highest population in the pre-monsoon season (summer) and the lowest population recorded in the monsoon season. The Canonical Correspondense Analysis plot showed a positive correlation between zooplankton and surface water temperature. This work is a baseline data of zooplankton diversity in Lakes of Kodagu district.
