Wetlands are the most dynamic ecosystem play a vital role in indigenous fish production which is a main source of protein of rural population ultimately helps socioeconomic condition of the adjacent areas of inhabitants. Zooplankton is regarded as primary consumers of the water bodies and constitute the food source of fish and other animals..Attention has been given to the water body of Kotchandpur Baor and the growth, distribution and abundance depend on the status of water body. The work has been carried out during one year period from June 2011- May2012 in different seasons viz. monsoon, post monsoon and pre monsoon respectively in order to asses water quality parameters and zooplankton diversity. During the investigation, zooplankton diversity was observed high in the wetland. Rotifers were the most dominant group followed by Cladocera, Copepoda. Protozoa and Ostracoda during the investigation. There is a high density of zooplankton in monsoon than compare to other seasons indicate good water quality and less pollution load.
