ABSTRACT Abstract The present paper focuses on the study zooplankton diversity of cladocera

species of Nira left bank canal and Tarangawadi lake of Indapur and Baramati region. cladocera are fresh water zooplankton inhabiting all the niches of fresh water bodies . The study of cladocera has being fascinating subject to the biologist. The water samples dorsal surface collected samples were preserved in 4% formalin to study diversity of chydoridae family. The species identified by standard key method (patil and Goundar 1984).Considering the abdomen claw according the Genus About 17species of chydroidae have been recorded identification was based on the presence of body parts. Abdominal claw.

were collected between 8 am to 11am during the year Dec 2010 to Nov 2011. With The Address: Name: US. Gantaloo, Place: Aurangabad, India E-mail: umasukaiya12@gmail .com tanvirforu@rediffmail.com ventral surface ,Labrum, Antennules ,Rostrum, Post abdomen, Post

cladocerans. The cladocerans fauna of the united states has been the result of several workers. Birge (1918), Pennak through the world (Korovchinky 1996) Near about 110 species have been recorded from India (patil and Goundar 1984) . The cladocerans are divided divided into GenusAlona, Biapertura, Pleuroxus, Dunhevida, &Chydorus.
