Abstract
The Son River, an important water body in India, plays a crucial role in sustaining its surrounding ecosystems and communities. This review examines the physicochemical factors present in the river and their implications for aquatic biodiversity, with a particular focus on zooplankton communities. Zooplankton, as important primary consumers and bioindicators, provide crucial information about water quality and ecosystem health. The study explores various factors affecting their density, diversity, and role in energy transfer within aquatic food webs. Key parameters such as temperature, dissolved oxygen, and organic matter are discussed as important determinants of zooplankton dynamics. The review further highlights the interconnectedness between zooplankton populations and larger ecological and environmental changes. This underscores the importance of maintaining a balanced aquatic ecosystem to support biodiversity and ensure the sustainability of dependent communities.
