Bor dam is situated on Bor River in Seloo Tehsil, District Wardha (M.S.). This dam was constructed as a part of irrigation project by the State Government in 1965. The present study deals with the Zooplankton diversity of Bor dam, for which it was surveyed during January to December, 2022. In all 26 species were reported which included 11 Rotiferan, 8 Cladoceran, 5 Copepodan and 2 Ostracodan species. Maximum abundance of the species was recorded in winter season, while lower during monsoon and lowest in summer seasons. The dam was found to be of mesotrophic nature, suitable for fish production.
