Variability in the zooplankton assemblages in relation to environmental variables in the tidal creeks of Sundarbans estuarine system, India.

The present study illustrates a holistic account of zooplankton community dynamics in relation to physicochemical variables in the tidal creeks of Indian Sundarbans estuarine system. Eleven water variables and zooplankton samples were collected in a monthly basis from the six sampling locations between July 2016 and June 2018. Out of the 11 water parameters, seven parameters (temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, PO - P, NO - N, and NO - N) varied significantly (p ≤ 0.
