“…cladoceran fauna (Michael and Sharma, 1988) while Bosminidae and Daphniidae are subdominant groups in these climatic regions (Lansac-Tôha et al, 2009;Ghidini et al, 2009;Shah and Pandit, 2013). The representativeness of Chydoridae in number of species is a common pattern in many regions of the world and the results observed herein are often reported for other locations in East Asia (Sinev and Korovchinsky, 2013;Kotov et al, 2013).…”

The plankton samples collected from the Subansiri floodplain wetlands revealed a rich Cladocera assemblage of 55 species belonging to 30 genera and 7 families. The species richness represents 42% and 75% of the total amount of fresh water species reported from India and Assam, respectively. Chydoridae was the most speciose family, with 31 species, while Ilyocryptidae was represented by a single species. Sididae, Daphniidae, Bosminidae, Moinidae and Macrothricidae were represented by four, five, three, two and four species, respectively. The faunal composition is represented by cosmopolitan, tropical and oriental elements. The documentation of Diaphanosoma dubium, Latonopsis australis, Simocephalus mixtus, Chydorus sphaericus, Chydorus parvus, Chydorus ovalis, Alonella clathratula, Pleuroxus cf. denticulatus, Picripleuroxus quasidenticulatus, Celsinotum macronyx, Coronatella anodonta and Kurzia (Rostrukurzia) brevilabris has biogeographic importance. We provide brief geographical distributional remarks about these 12 species from the collected samples. This was a preliminary study, as the fauna from the Indian subcontinent is poorly documented, and requires a taxonomic revision as a whole. The faunistic diversity of cladocerans comprises a clear representation of a tropical cladoceran assemblage.

“…They are more common in freshwater lakes, ponds, and sluggish streams, also occurring in lentic water and in marginal vegetation in rushing streams [33]. In Kashmir Himalaya, majority of the studies pertain to species composition and seasonal variations of Cladocera [1,7,[34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42].…”

Exhaustive studies on Cladocera, crustacean zooplankton, have been carried out at global level and till date 620 species of water fleas have been reported. Though there is much ambiguity among the recorded species of Cladocera, yet the group in India is very rich and diversified, with a record of 137 taxa. In the present study, all available but reliable literature (both published and unpublished) has been reviewed for all the waterbodies of Kashmir Himalaya, making an updated list of 79 taxa of Cladocera. Water fleas in the valley are represented by 6-8 families. Freshwater ecosystems of Kashmir are facing a challenging effect of eutrophication from the last few decades. Valley lakes in particular are facing threat of cultural eutrophication that has resulted in dominance of small bodied cladocerans over large ones in the region. In the present taxonomic survey there is a scope of more taxonomic revisions as three of the species reported so far seem to have doubtful existence.

“…Cladocera yang teridentifikasi adalah famili daphnidae dan dari family chydoridae. Hessen et al (2003) dalam Shah and Pandit (2013) menyatakan bahwa cladocera juga merupakan zooplankton dengan biomas yang besar serta berfungsi sebagai elemen yang penting dalam rantai makanan perairan tawar.…”

Zooplankton variation in fresh water fish pond on North Minahasa District of North Sulawesi Province was done in five different areas. The goal is to evaluate the variation and the abundance of zooplankton. The result is copepod is the first rank in abundance (50% on April and 51% on August), followed by cladoceran (32% on April and 33% on August) and finally, rotifer (18% on April and 16% on August).
