Abstract

Zooplankton is a vital component of an aquatic environment and is critical for the transmission of energy. Plankton production depends critically on the physicochemical properties and nutritional state of a water body. Many fish species naturally eat plankton, especially zooplankton. Baglihar Dam is a freshwater body of water that is notable because of its high commercial value and is situated in the Ramban region of Jammu and Kashmir, India. The region's high agricultural activity continues to have an influence on the water's quality even if the water is changed often. Additionally, it offers the necessary amount of protein for the rapid development of larval carps. Phytoplankton is the main producer and the lowest trophic level in the food chain in freshwater environments. Studies on planktonic composition and morphometric, physical, and chemical characterization of water bodies are necessary to get a fundamental knowledge of a region's biodiversity. In order to better understand the variety of phytoplankton and zooplankton in the Baglihar Dam reservoir, a current study is being conducted.
