Abstract:
The Ganga Riverine System is a vital ecological hotspot that supports diverse habitats and sustains numerous species including zooplankton communities crucial for the ecosystem’s functioning. However rapid urbanization industrialization and agricultural activities have led to substantial anthropogenic impact on this ecosystem, raising concerns about its ecological integrity and biodiversity. An investigation was led from July 2024 to December 2024 to examine variation in zooplankton with the physicochemical profile of River Ganga from Digha ghat to Gay ghat. Observations showed that during summer season water temperature, total alkalinity, hardness & chloride were observed more during summer season followed by raining season. There were 4 major group of zooplankton recorded in the selected sampling zones: - Cladocera (5 Genera) Copepoda(4Genera), Protozoa (3 Genera) & Rotifera(3 Genera). The density of zooplankton was more distinguished throughout the colder time followed by rainy season. Zooplankton density showed a positive relationship with pH, dissolved oxygen, nitrate and sulphur however a negative relationship with water temperature, chloride, total alkalinity and hardness. Moreover, habitat degradation, fragmentation and loss were observed, primarily associated with land use changes, urban expansion and agricultural intensification.
