The study of temporal and spatial distribution of zooplankton in relation to various physico-chemical factors forms an important aspect of the freshwater ecology aimed at understanding life in water. The populations of zooplankton are subjected to extreme fluctuations, the causes of which have not been adequately understood. Though a good deal of information is available on the distribution of plankton, no comprehensive study seems to have been carried out earlier, to understand correlation between zooplanktonic populations and the abiotic factors. An objective evaluation of the relationship...
