Macro–Zoobenthic Study In Relationship To Physico–Chemical Parameters Of Khoh River In Uttarakhand, India

V. P Balodi, Koshal Kumar

Abstract :

 The benthic community structure and species diversity were studied at Khoh river during January 2014 to December 2014 at a selected site (Amsour) in Khoh river. Collection of Macro–Zoobenthos was made by using forecep and ush from one meter square area. The collected samples were preserved in 5% formalin on the spot, and then ing in the laboratory for further study. Some important physico–chemical parameters were also analysed which effect the benthic community. Macro–Zoobenthic groups inhabited the river were the (mayfly nymphs) Ephemeropter 43 % then Trichoptera 36.96 %, Colieoptera 5.63 %, Diptera 4.7 %, Plecoptera 2.29 %, Odoneta 1.07 % were reported. Some unknown genera also reported about 4.09 % respectively. Co–coefficient of correlation was also performed to check the relationship between the Macro–Zoobenthos and ecology of the river.
