Abstract
Temporary pools are relatively small water bodies with limited resources and are seasonally available.These freshwater bodies are rich source of microbial and planktonic life Objective: This survey wasconducted to find out the presence of rotifers in temporary pools formed in Jallo Park established in1978 and explore their density and diversity Methods: Sample collection was done from ten pools withthe help of a planktonic mesh. The counting was performed with a Sedgwick- Rafter chamber. Diversityindices like Shannon Weaver index etc. were applied Results: In present study 27 rotifer speciesbelonging to 14 genera were identified. The highest diversity and density was shown by Brachionus andLecane. There was even distribution in each pool. Results of ANOVA showed statistically significantdifference in population density and diversity Conclusions: This study has presented a guideline tofind out rotifer diversity which could be present in any water reservoir like temporary pool.
