The present study was conducted in Shahjangi Pond of Bhagalpur District of Bihar during April 2021 to March 2022. Zooplanktonic abundance and diversity were determined by using standard method. The principal aim of this study was to study more about the swamp's overall zooplankton diversity. Water samples were collected using zooplankton net and preserved with formalin (aqueous solution of formaldehyde) and 5% neutral buffer (10 ml) on the spot, then brought to the laboratory for further analysis. Totally 21 species of zooplankton of four different classes were recorded (rotifer, cladocera, copepod and ostracoda) in which Rotifera was the most dominant class followed by the cladocera, copepoda and ostracoda. From total 21 genera 10 were belongs to Rotifera, 6 from cladocera, 3 from copepoda and 2 from ostracoda. Shannon - Weaver index were employed to analysis the species diversity.
