Global human population growth rate increasing rapidly and has significant impact on natural resources. It reduces the natural water quality. Assessment of zooplankton gives valuable information about the management and restoration of aquatic ecosystem. Zooplanktons are minute aquatic animal that live all or part of their life as plankton. They play an important role in the aquatic food web by providing crucial source of food to a number of aquatic animals especially for fishes. Some of the zooplankton groups act as pollution indicator. Zooplankton communities are typically diverse and occur in almost all type of aquatic habitat. Zooplankton communities are highly sensitive to environmental variation, their growth and distribution is depends on some biotic and abiotic factors. As a result, change in their abundance, and species diversity or community composition, can provide important indications of environmental variation. This review is an attempt to list out Indian freshwater zooplankton in a single platform.
