Dynamics of zooplankton diversity in dal lake of Kashmir Himalaya: a brief review

Abstract

The present review work focuseson the zooplankton community ofDalLakein Kashmir Himalayato understand and evaluate the status of zooplankton diversity between2000-2020.The perusal of the literature suggests thatRotifers showed the dominance than crustaceans due tothe increase in eutrophicstature of the lakeover the years. The input of nutrients and subsequent fluctuations in water quality of the lake has ledto changes in the composition of planktons within the water column. Further, theliterature revealed the dynamics in ecological features of lake ecosystem due to various human interferences in the watershed of lakehas affected the structure and distribution of zooplankton communityover the years.
