ABSTRACT
In the present study, several physicochemical parameters such as DO (11.5 17.0 ppm), free CO2 (5.0 20.0
ppm), total alkalinity (110145) ppm), chloride (19.0 97.0 ppm), organic Carbon (1.28 22.80 mg g1) and transparancy
(7190 cm) were studied.
Variation in zoobenthos from the selected fields were examined by calculating taxa Annelids and Molluscs, three
taxa were found in the study. Tubifex tubifex and Nepheles sp. were the most dominant sp. which indicated clean water
of the lake. The correlation between zoobenthos diversity and physicochemical parameters were also studied in lake.
Key words :Physicochemical parameters, Pisciculture, Zoobenthos.
