dc.description.abstract	Qualitative and quantitative analyses of zooplankton from Shri Mahalaxmi temple tank, Bandora and Shri Mahalasa temple tank, Mardol of Goa, was carried out for one annual cycle. (Dec. 2009 to Nov. 2010). Using microscopic, taxonomical studies of zooplankton, investigations revealed that, 18 species of Zooplankton belonging to four major groups i.e., Rotifera (five sps.), Calanoid (five sps.), Cyclopoid (four sps.) and Cladoceran (four sps) were present in these water bodies. Densities as well as diversity of zooplankton were higher at Shri Mahalasa temple tank than Shri Mahalaxmi temple tank. Among zooplankton, Copepod group dominated at both the sites, throughout the study period. In both study sites, zooplankton diversity was rich during summer compared to other seasons..	en_US
