Summary

INTRODUCTION

The earthen ponds are recognized as most traditional living essentials in our society. In Noakhali, ponds and wetlands are used for aquaculture and daily household uses. Zooplankton are very sensitive to environmental changes in aquatic bodies. & Sinha 1993, Joseph et al 2011, Patra et al 2011) the Wetland Zooplankton Index (WZI) was designed to evaluate the lake water quality in North America (Lougheed & Chow-Fraser 2002). This index was suggested as a scale from bad (0) to good (5) of water quality. The present study was attempted to evaluate the contribution of zooplankton as a bioindicator to wild pond water quality
