Abstract: Zooplankton are tiny aquatic animals that drift in the water column of river, playing a crucial role in the aquatic food wed. The present investigation is related to seasonal changes, diversity and density of Zooplankton of Bhima River at Sadepur area located in Solapur South, subdivision of Solapur District, Maharashtra.
