Zooplankton biodiversity serves as an important ecological indicator of aquatic environment as they are rapid reactive and responsive according to environmental changes. The present study mainly focus on the impact of seasonal variations on zooplankton biodiversity was carried out in Pohara Lake near Amravati district, Maharashtra. The geographical location of lake is located at 20° 54′ N and 77° 53′ E and the is covered by Pohara – Malkhed dense forest and few villages. The zooplankton are the important ecological indicator of fresh water bodies serve as a major component of aquatic food chain and play vital role to maintain the proper equilibrium between biotic and abiotic components of the aquatic ecosystem. The present work was carried out for one year i.e December 2014 to November 2015. The zooplankton diversity of lake water was represented by 6 different groups i.e protozoa, rotifera, cladocera, copepoda and ostracoda.
