Zooplankton Composition, Diversity and Physicochemical Features of Bandam Kommu Pond, Medak District, Telangana, India

Zooplankton Diversity of a Sub-Tropical Small Urban Wetland of Meghalaya, Northeast India with Remarks on Spatial Variations

“…Higher rotifer abundance during warmer months is affirmed by a positive correlation with water temperature; the latter concurs with the results of Thakur et al (2013), Malik and Panwar (2016), and . Peak Rotifera densities during monsoon at the two stations concur with the report from Maghuri beel of Assam (Sharma and Noroh 2020) and the reports of Jyoti et al (2009), Karuthapandi et al (2016), Saikia et al (2017) but differ from summer (Sanjer and Sharma 1995;Patra et al 2011;Pandey et al 2013;Sharma and Kumari 2018), winter peaks (Sharma and Hussain 2001;Sharma 2011a;Sharma 2011, 2012) (Sharma 2011a;Sharma 2001, 2008).…”

“…, and West Bengal(Halder Mallick and Chakraborty 2015;Patra et al 2015;Saha et al 2017;Middya 2017;Midya et al 2018) from India; and elsewhere from Bangladesh(Islam and Chowdhury 2013), Bhutan(Sharma and Bhattarai 2005) and Myanmar(Twin and Aung 2019). Zooplankton richness is notably higher than the reports from the lakes and reservoirs of Himachal(Jindal and Prajapat 2005;Thakur et al 2013;Jindal and Thakur 2014), Karnataka(Hulyal and Kaliwal 2008;Kudari and Kanamadi 2008;Majagi and Vijaykumar 2009;Majagi 2014;Anita et al 2019), Jammu & Kashmir(Khan 1987;Ahangar et al 2012;Slathia and Dutta 2013;Sharma and Sharma 2019), Meghalaya(Sharma 1995;Sharma and Lyngdoh 2004;, Mizoram(Sharma and Pachuau 2013), Telangana(Karuthapandi et al 2016) and Uttarakhand(Sharma and Pant 1985;Mishra et al 2010;Malik and Panwar, 2016;Sharma and Kumari 2018;Singh and Sharma 2020) states of India. The reports of 148 and 122 species with 90.4% community similarity affirm high zooplankton homogeneity amongst the stations.…”

“…These environs have attracted relatively more attention since the inception of the Indian limnology and have resulted in the proliferation of 'ad-hoc' and 'routine' reports on zooplankton assemblages due to incomplete species lists, unidentified species, limited sampling, and inadequate data analysis Sharma 2019a, 2019b). The selected Indian studies with variable and limited extant of useful information are from small wetlands of Bihar (Kumar et al 2011;Pandey et al 2013), Jammu & Kashmir (Jyoti et al 2009), Haryana (Tyor et al 2014;Chopra and Jakhar 2016), Karnataka (Majagi 2014), Telangana (Karuthapandi et al 2016), Uttarakhand (Kumar et al 2012) and West Bengal (Datta 2011;Halder Mallick and Chakraborty 2015;Patra et al 2015;Adhikari et al 2017;Saha et al 2017;Midya et al 2018). Amongst other wetlands, some useful studies are from the floodplains of Bihar (Sanjer and Sharma 1995), Kashmir (Khan 1987;Ahangar et al 2012;Slathia and Dutta 2013) and West Bengal (Khan 2002(Khan , 2003Ganesan and Khan 2008), while the notable zooplankton diversity works are restricted to the floodplain wetlands of Assam (Sharma and Hussain 2001;Sharma 2008, 2012;Sharma 2011a;Sharma and Hatimuria 2017;Sharma and Noroh 2020) and Manipur (Sharma 2011b;Sharma and Sharma 2011) states of NEI.…”

Studies on Limnological Characteristics and Zooplankton Diversity in Durgadahalli and MydalaLakes of Tumakuru, Karnataka State, India

“…Similar results were also reported in Ameenpur tank, Ameenpur village, Medak district, Telangana by Karuthapandi et al, (2016a) who investigated family Rotifera and reported it to be abundant followed by order Cladoceran and Copepoda respectively. Karuthapandi et al, (2016b) again reported rotifers to be more predominant than other zooplankton communities, especially family Brachionidae and Lecanidae in the chosen pond at Medak district, they also observed a significant relationship between Physico-chemical parameters and zooplankton indices. Kar and Kar (2016) also reported diversity and density of zooplankton in Cachar lake, Assam and concluding family Rotifera to be the dominant group contributing 53% towards total abundance.…”

“…Similar results were also reported in Ameenpur tank, Ameenpur village, Medak district, Telangana by [20] reported family Rotifera found to be abundant followed by order Cladocera and Copepoda respectively. [21] reported rotifers to be more predominant than other zooplankton communities, especially family Brachionidae and Lecanidae in the chosen pond at Medak district. They observed a significant relationship between Physico-chemical parameters and zooplankton indices.…”
