Dr. Devdatta Lad, Dr. Shashikant Patil
Abstract :
The present study aims to analyze the species diversity of zooplankton and to determine the pollution status in the estuarine waters along the area of Bhayander and Naigaon. A total of 38 species of Zooplankton belonging to 9 classes have been recorded from both the Stations during the research study. The class Maxillopoda being dominant of all the classes. The mean Shannon Wiener diversity index for Zooplankton at Station No.1 Bhayander and Station No.2 Naigaon were 3.35 ± 0.20 and 3.41 ± 0.15 respectively. Whereas Margalef Species Diversity Index for Station No.1 Bhayander and Station No.2 Naigaon were 4.12 ± 0.26 and 4.20 ± 0.21 respectively. The Staub et. al. scale of pollution in terms of species diversity index for Zooplankton revealed slight pollution at both the Stations Bhayander and Naigaon.
