“…Rotifera species abundance from both the sites (Kalshi and Namapara) were highest compared to other groups and it indicates favourable environmental condition. Mozumder et al, (2012) observed highest abundance of rotifera from both Mathbaria pond (64.86%) and Bakerganj pond (60.98%) of Barishal division of Bangladesh. During dry season, high concentrated nutrient content in the water bodies may resulted in increased the density of zooplankton.…”

This study was conducted during the period November, 2014 - June, 2015 in two urban fish culture pond, at Kalshi and Namapara area of Dhaka city. These ponds are connected to Baunia canal. Water samples were collected seasonally for water quality and zooplankton analyses. Except DO all other measured water quality parameters (pH, TDS, TSS, total ammonia-N, total nitrite-N, total nitrate-N, total phosphate, total sulphate, alkalinity and hardness) were found higher in water. A total of 10 heavy metals (Zn, Fe, Pb, Cd, Al, As, Cu, Na, Mn and Cr) were measured for determining its concentrations in waters in two seasons. A total of 10 zooplankton species were recorded at Kalshi during the study period and on an average, the density of zooplankton in dry season and in wet season were estimated to be 1386 indiv./L and 244 indiv./L respectively. On the other hand, a total of 19 zooplankton species were identified from Namapara water body and on an average, the density of zooplankton in dry season and in wet season were estimated to be 1760 indiv/L and 343 indiv./L respectively. Bacteriological analysis included the total plate count (TPC), total coliform (TC) and total faecal coliform (TFC) counts in waters, both in wet and dry seasons. In general, water qualities of the studied fish culture water bodies are highly deviated from the permissible standard levels of Environment conservation rules, 1997 and unsuitable for fish culture from fish health point of view. The measured high levels of metals in waters are likely to bioaccumulate in fish body. High abundance of bacterial flora in fish culture waters is also likely to be associated with fish health and may cause enteric diseases. Therefore, fish culture in these urban water bodies is likely pose potential health risks for human through consuming these fishes. Bangladesh J. Zool. 49 (2): 267-276, 2021

Zooplankton is microscopic organisms that drift in water due to the wave action of water. Zooplankton is mainly visible in the pelagic zone of ponds, lakes, rivers, and oceans where light enters. They have no strong swimming organ-like fin in fish [1]. That's why they are unable to swim freely like fish and they have relied on the wave or current to swim [2]. Zooplankton act as a base of food chains and food webs in freshwater ecosystems since they are solely liable for all secondary production [1]. Moreover, some of them are known as indicators of ecological variations [3]. Zooplankton is now subjected to the effect of the global climate change phenomenon and its long-term and wide profound effect [4]. Directly or indirectly omnivorous and carnivorous fishes rely on zooplankton for their food [5]. Zooplankton excretes organic matters and provides large quantities of protein in water. These nutrients are required for the development of different organs of fish that promote rapid growth [6]. Zooplankton regarded as the ideal food source for brood fishes. Carps fish larvae and white fish (Mullet) larvae mostly feed on zooplankton [7]. Zooplankton is the main food item of Xenentodon cancila and while Cirrhina reba's feed mainly constitutes of zooplankton [8]. About 82% of the food item of Anabas testudineus [9], 32% of Notoptrus notoptrus [10], 23% of Macrobrachium rosenbergii, 47% of Catla catla [11], 6.37% of Labeo rohita [11],

Ecology and diversity of zooplankton species in relation to some physico-chemical parameters at three sites namely Thana Health Complex Pond, Tulatoli River and Harun Dakua’s Pond of the coastal ecosystems of Bakerganj were studied from January 2008 to December 2009. A total of 56 zooplankton species were recorded out of which 35 were rotifers, 6 protozoan, 8 copepods, 5 cladocerans and 2 ostracods species. During study, rotifera was the most abundant group (61.44 % in Thana Health Complex pond, 38.36 % in Tulatoli River, and 86.03 % in Harun Dakua’s pond), while the ostracoda were the least abundant group (0.2 % in Harun Dakua’s pond). The highest monthly average value of zooplankton was 707.75 ± 189.56 indv /L at Thana Health Complex pond and the lowest was 127.42 ± 19.95 indv /L at Tulatoli River of Bakerganj. Zooplankton species richness (R1 and R2) was comparatively higher (R1: 1.63 ± 0.10; R2: 0.64 ± 0.06) in Harun Dakua’s pond while both the species diversity (Shanon Weiner Index) (H' = 0.87 ± 0.08; eH' = 2.52 ± 0.17) and species evenness (E1 and E2) (E1 = 0.44 ± 0.04; E2 = 0.43 ± 0.05) were higher in the Tulatoli River. The zooplankton population showed positive correlation with physico-chemical parameters like water temperature, air temperature and water depth, whereas negatively correlated with pH, DO, TDS, conductivity and salinity with a few exception.
