“…Sharma (1996) reported that the abundance of Brachionus species and Keratella tropica are characterized as being in alkaline hard water in different parts of tropical India. A similar abundance of Brachionus in various Indian water bodies was reported by Ali et al (1990), Rajagopal et al (2010) and Karuthapandi et al (2018). Among the zooplankton groups, the rotifers were the richest species group, compared to the copepods and cladocerans, and have been used as bioindicators of lake water quality (Ejsmont‐Karabin, 2012; Oh et al, 2017).…”

“…A taxonomic dominance of rotifer was also reported for several other water bodies (Cavalli et al, 2001; Neves et al, 2003; Nogueira, 2001; Sampaio et al, 2002). The richness of Lecane and Brachionus was represented by their tropical character, mostly being cosmopolitan species (Karuthapandi et al, 2018; Sharma & Sharma, 2019). The most frequently observed zooplankton were rotifers, including Keratella tropica , Brachionus falcatus , B. angularis , B. calyciflorus , B. diversicornis , B. forficula , Lecane bulla , Euchlanis dialatata and Filinia longiseta .…”

The present study investigated zooplankton composition and diversity, along with physicochemical parameters from the littoral regions of Himayat Sagar Reservoir, Telangana, India. A total of 84 zooplankton species were found, including 60 rotifer species, 16 cladoceran species and eight copepod species. Keratella tropica, Lecane bulla, Coronatella rectangula and Mesocyclops sp. were observed frequently throught the study period. The Shannon Diversity Index ranged between H′ = 1.8 and 2.1, with a high diversity observed during the summer season. Dominance was greater during the monsoon and winter seasons, being represented by Brachionus calyciflorus, B. angularis, B. falcatus, Keratella tropica, Ceriodaphnia cornuta, Diaphanosoma sarsi and Mesocyclops sp. Correlation coefficients and principal component analysis indicated temperature, pH and nutrients had a major influence on zooplankton community changes in this reservoir. The environmental variables and diversity indices indicated seasonally fluctuating trophic conditions. Himayat Sagar Reservoir requires long‐term monitoring for assessment and better management of its faunal diversity and water quality.

“…Chopra and Jakhar (2016) reported family Rotifera representing highest number of species followed by Cladoceran, Copepoda, Ostracoda and Insecta respectively. Karuthapandi et al, (2018) investigated in Osmansagar reservoir, Telangana reporting highest population density of zooplankton which was due to rotifer and copepods where rotifers were most dominant followed by Cladoceran and Copepoda. The study of zooplankton in two lakes revealed that Mydala lake showed greater number of species than that of Durgadahalli lake, the results influencing the diversity of fishes of the lake as plankton are primary food for the fishes and zooplankton are primary consumers in the aquatic food chain.…”

The specific status of limnological characteristics and diversity of zooplankton in Durgadahalli and Mydala Lakes have been studied in the period 2017-19. Diversity of zooplankton in the selected two lakes identified 35 species of zooplankton. In Durgadahalli lake 20 species were recorded, of which 14 are rotifers, 4 are cladoceraus and 2 are copepods. Among the rotifers, family Brachionidae reported as highest number of species (11 species), of which Genus Brachionus contain 08 species. Similarly, in Mydala lake recorded 26 species of zooplankton among which 17 are rotifers, 7 are cladoceraus and 2 are copepods. In rotifers, family Brachionidae contains high number of species (10 species), in which Genus Brachionus (08 species) represents the highest number. Most commonly occurring species are Brachionus angularis, B. caudatus, Keratellatropica, Filinia longiseta, Ceriodaphnia cornuta, Ceriodaphniacornuta, Diaphanosomasarsi and Moina micrura. The highest zooplankton population was recorded in rotifera and lesser in copepod in both the lakes. The water remained moderately alkaline (pH 7.07 and pH 7.27) while Biochemical Oxygen Demand (3.0 mg/l each), Dissolved Oxygen (7.5 mg/l and 5.32 mg/l), TDS (167 mg/l and 272 mg/l), chloride (15 mg/l and 27.5 mg/l), hardness (40 mg/l and 81.5 mg/l) showed low mean values respectively.
