Diversity, Distribution and Abundance of Macrozoobenthos of Upper Lake Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh)
Main Article Content
Abstract
The present study was aimed to assess the diversity, distribution and abundance of macrozoobenthos in Upper Lake Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh). During the present investigation, 5 sampling stations were selected to collect the samples. Shannon diversity index and Margalef’s richness index was used on benthic data obtained during the survey. A total of 28 taxa of macrobenthic fauna were recorded from different sampling stations of Parbati River. The phylum Arthropoda was found dominant followed by mollusca and annelida. The maximum diversity and richness were recorded at station 1 while minimum diversity was recorded station 4.
