Periodic fortnightly visits were carried out to determine the species composition and distribution pattern of birds, phytoplankton and zooplankton. A total number of17 species of birds belonging to 9 orders (Anseriformes, Charadriiformes, Ciconiformes, Coraciifomes, Cuculiformes, Gruiformes, Passeriformes, Pelecaniformes and Psittaciformes) were identified in the study area. Charadriiformes was the most dominant order. The study revealed the presences of 18 species of phytoplankton belonging to Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Cyanophyceae and Euglenophyceae. Bacillariophyceae having 7 species was found to be dominant among all. In case of zooplankton, 11 species were encountered of which 7 were Rotifers, 3 were Cladocera and 1 was Copepoda. Thus Rotifers represented the maximum number of species among zooplankton.

The assessment was done from December, 2012 to November, 2013. A total of 32 species of zooplankton were identified from this study. Rotifera recorded the highest number of species (13) followed by Cladocera (11), which in turn was followed by Copepoda (6), Ostracoda and Insecta (1 species each). Maximum number of zooplankton species (26) were reported from Chilli lake, whereas, Daulatpuria Pond reported the minimum number of species (18). Dominant zooplankton reported at study sites were Nauplius sp., Mesocyclops sp., Phyllodiaptomus sp., Brachionus. falcatus, B. quadridentatus, B. caudatus, Diaphanosoma sp. and Chironomous larva. Presence of a number of pollution tolerant species of zooplankton such as Brachionus quadridentatus, Keratella sp., Ceriodaphnia, Miona sp., Mesocyclops sp., Monostyla sp.and Diaphanosoma sp. indicates the eutrophic nature of the water bodies.
