ASSESSMENT OF SEASONAL CHANGES IN LEADING ZOOPLANKTON SPECIES OF LAKE ZAMONBOBO
Abstract
This scientific article analyzes the results of hydrobiological studies of the zooplankton community in Lake Zamonbabo in the Bukhara region, conducted between April and October 2024. During the study, 33 species of zooplankton were identified, of which 51.5% belonged to the Rotifera, 27.3% to the Cladocera, and 21.2% to the Copepoda groups. The highest levels of species diversity were recorded in May (28 species) and September (30 species). The dominance of rotifers indicates the meso-eutrophic state of the lake. Seasonal analyses also showed that zooplankton population dynamics are directly related to environmental factors such as water temperature, hydrochemical parameters, and water level. The research results provide valuable information about the biodiversity and ecological status of the Lake Zamonbobo ecosystem and serve as an important scientific basis for developing future watershed management and protection strategies.
