Zooplankton is an important component of an aquatic ecosystem's trophic structure and plays an important role in energy transmission. The present study work has been conducted at Pentakli lake , district Buldana. Because of their fast responsiveness to environmental changes, zooplankton biodiversity serves as an ecological indicator of the aquatic environment. The impact of seasonal fluctuations on zooplankton biodiversity was investigated in the Pentakali Lake in this study. water sample were collected for the period of one year in monthly sampling from June 2019-May 2020.A total of 40 species belongs to three groups such as Rotifer(22 species),cladocera (14 species) and copepod (4 species) From the study,the physico-chemical parameters of the Pentakli Lake was positively correlated with the zooplankton. Rotifera was the dominant group throughout the study period among the groups of zooplankton.
