Title: Effect of Sewage Pollution on zooplankton community of Sirsiya river at Raxaul, India
Abstract: A large number of plankton populations occur in any river, pond and lake ecosystem, which determine their productivity. The zooplankton are animals floating in water and are used as food sources for fishes and other aquatic forms. Most of them are protozoa, cladocera, rotifera and copepoda etc, which serve as indicators of heath of any aquatic body. A change in the water quality leads to change in the tolerance, abundance and diversity of plankton. Therefore, the present work was performed considering the effect of domestic sewage on zooplankton population in river sirsiya at Raxaul, East Champaran Bihar, India. During the study period 18 types of zooplankton were observed as Protozoa-2 sps, Ostracoda-1 sps, Rotifera-4 sps, Cladocera-6 sps & Copepoda-5 sps. Rotifera were found to be the most abundant.
