Zooplanktons are cosmopolitan in nature and they are found to inhabit all freshwater tropical wetlands. The present investigation deals with the study of monthly changes of diversity and density of Zooplankton in three lakes named Saroornagar Lake, Noor Mohammed Kunta (Katedhan Lake) and Mir Alam tank of Hyderabad City. The work was carried out for a period of two years from June 2014 to May 2016. The samples were analyzed on the same day for different physico-chemical factors like Water temp, pH, CO3-2, HCO3-, Cl-, O.M, T.H, Ca++, Mg++, T.S, TDS, SO4-2, PO4-3, NO3-, SiO2, DO, BOD following the standard methods (APHA, 1995). The population status of Zooplankton categorized into four major groups, viz, Rotifera > Cladocerans > Cyclopoid-Copepods> Ostracods. Rotifera were the dominant group of Zooplankton recorded with respect to diversity and population density status in all the three lakes.
