Abstract
This study was conducted in an earthen pond having an area of 0.61 ha and a depth of 1 meter Five-day-old grass çarp larvae were stocked at a rate of 100000/ha in the pond. Zooplankton samples vvere taken every week from July to September Zooplankton communıty vvas dommated by various rotifer species apart from the vveek 7 and 8: the mean abundance ratio was 74%. İt changed to small cladocerans in 7lh and 8'" vveeks.
