Zooplanktons are the microscopic animals that act as a primary and secondarylinks in the food webs of all aquatic ecosystem. Zooplankton diversity is one of the most important ecological parameters in water quality assessment. Zooplankton is good indicators of the changes in water quality because they are strongly affected by environmental conditions respond quickly to changes in water quality. The present paper focused on the zooplankton abundance and diversity of Londhare dam, Shahada Taluka, District Nandurbar, (M.S.) during the period June 2012 to May 2014. A total of 42 species of zooplankton were recorded belonging to 27 general which divided into four groups. Among these Rotifera comprise of 24 species (35.61%), Cladocera 08 species (32.74%), Copepoda 06 species (25.42%) and Ostracoda 04 species (6.23%). Numerically Rotifera was dominant group throughout the study period. The season wise zooplankton analysis showed that the number of population was maximum in summer, moderate in monsoon and lowest during winter.
