Occurence and Abundance of some Copepods in a Fish Pond in Rajshahi, Bangladesh in relation to the Physico-Chemical Conditions

Abstract: An investigation was carried out to find out the occurrence and abundance of copepods in relation to physico-chemical parameters in a fish pond within the Rajshahi University Campus, Rajshahi, Bangladesh from December, 2006 to September, 2007. A total of 5 genera of copepods of which 2 species belong to Cyclops were identified. Highest density of copepods (768 units/l) was observed in May 2007. Seasonal succession of copepods showed the most abundance in spring, followed by winter, summer and autumn. Correlati… Show more

“…Meshram, (2014) [28] opined that maximum density of copepod fauna in summer may be due to availability of plenty live food and competition with other species. However, Bhuiyan, et al (2008) [8] stated that the effect of over fishing might be the probable reason for maximum density of copepod fauna during summer season. Lowest density of copepod fauna during monsoon is the dilution effect and as such some physico-chemical factors like lower water temperature, pH, salinity and TDS are not in favour for the growth and survivability of copepod fauna (Maruthanayagam 2008 [36,21] .…”

“…On the contrary, the optimal numerical abundance of copepod fauna was observed in the temperature range between 29-33 o C. Mesocyclops leuckarti, the super dominant copepod species reached a peak population at about 31 o C and its population was completely disappeared at a temperature below 14 o C. The present observation showed that copepod fauna were dominant in warmer period of the year. Bhuiyan, et al (2008) [8] emphasized the role of temperature on crustacean densities. Bhuiyan, et al (2008) [8] reported that temperature on one hand, acting directly for accelerating the growth rates of crustacean zooplankton which in turn increases the population densities of crustaceans and on other hand, it hastens the growth of phytoplankton population which serves as live food for crustacean zooplankton.…”

“…They also found positive relationship between the cyclops and DO (r = 0.22). Bhuiyan et al (23) observed the occurrence and abundance of some copepods in a fish pond of Rajshahi. They also studied the diurnal migration of copepods.…”
