Abstract: A perusal of the various physico-chemical characteristics of Dal Lake revealed that the physico- chemical factors have a tremendous impact on the abundance, growth, and species composition of zooplankton communities and on the general ecology of the lake. In response to the variations in physico-chemical factors of the lake water, the zooplankton community also revealed differences in abundance and species composition in the different study sites of the lake.
