Comparative Study of Rotifers in Two water bodies from Omerga Taluka (M.S.) India

Abstract The study of comparative diversity of rotifers in two water bodies from Omerga Taluka (m.s.) India. The work was carried out during the year June 2022 to May 2023. Jakkekur water bodies 8.5 km & Bennetura water bodies about 18 km away from omerga Taluka head quarter. The both dams were manmade in 1978 and 1984 completed. Jakkekur is longitude 76°-34-0 and latitude 17°--48°-30°.The maximum height of the dam is 14.83 meters, the catchment area is 21.00Sq.kms.full tank level is 11.30.m.The second water tank of Bennetura.It's location is longitude 76°-27"--40°and latitude 17°--47"-40°,.The maximum height is 13.38 m. , The catchment area is 79.58 Sq.kms. capacity of living storage 11.47 M3.Full tank level water 10.30 m. The water bodies used for irrigation, domestic activities, cloth washing & fish culture purposes. The quantitative analysis of rotifer was Carried out as a part of the Limnological investigation of these jakkekur & bennetura water tanks. In the present study there are sixteen species of rotifers.They are seven different families such as Branchionidae (08), Filiniidae (02) Lecanidae (02), As planchidae (01), Hexarthidae (01) Synchatridae (01) and Trichocercidae (01) species were found in Jakkekur & Bennetura Water bodies from omerga taluka.
