Abstract

Fresh water habitats are highly diversified and marked by a wide range of physico-chemical conditions, which greatly influences the aquatic biota. Plankton are the basic biotic components of any aquatic ecosystem. These organisms play a vital role in aquatic environment. Microfaunal diversity play an important role in transferring energy to consumers hence they form the next higher trophic level in the energy flow after phytoplankton. Masoli reservoir is a rural aquatic habitat and hence an attempt has been made to assess its physico-chemical properties and microfaunal diversity. Present work has been carried out for the period of one year i.e., from February 2018 to January 2019. During the studies various physico-chemical parameters were analysed viz., pH, dissolved oxygen, total hardness, chlorides, nutrients etc. Study revealed the interrelation between physico-chemical properties and microfaunal diversity at Masoli reservoir.
