The study examined the zooplankton biomass in Omi dam to identify which specie(s) among the major ones under consideration, contributed most to the recruitment and growth of fish in the dam. Rotifera took the dominance in terms of species, followed by cladocerans and copepod respectively. Between the two stations analysed, Zooplankton density was highest (5.00 ind.l-1) in station 1 in April, while it was lowest (0.33 ind.l-1) in station 2 in January. Calanoid species contributed more in the energy supply for fish recruitment and growth. It can be concluded therefore that calanoid species contributed more to fish recruitment and growth in Omi dam. |
