<![CDATA[Tajwid Lake is an oxbow lake that receives water from the Kampar Riverduring rainy season. To understand the types and abundance of zooplanktonpresent in that lake, a study has been conducted in February 2016. There were 3stations, Station 1 is in the inlet, Station 2 is in the middle of the lake and Station3 is in the outlet. Samplings were conducted 3 times, once/week. Results shownthat there are 20 species of zooplankton present in the lake. They were classifiedinto four classes, namely: 3 Rotifer species, 4 Crustacean species, 2 Sarcodinaspecies, 2 Cladocera species, and 2 Monogononta species, 1 Branchiopodaspecies, 1 Ciliata species, 1 Copepoda species, 1 Insecta species, 1 Phyllopodaspecies, 1 Maxillopoda species, 1 Granulureticulosa species. The average ofzooplankton abundance was around 1,582-3,990 ind/L, species diversity index(H’) was 3.95-4.10, uniformity index (E) was 1.15-1.25 and dominance index (C)was 0.08-0.07, indicated there is not a dominant species in the lake. While thewater quality parameters were as follows: temperature 290C, transparency 33-51cm, depth 600-1,200 cm, pH 5, DO 4.9-6 mg/L, and CO2 8.2-8.6 mg/L. Thevalues of water quality parameters indicate that the aquatic environment in theTajwid lake is good and is able to support the life of aquatic organisms, especiallyzooplankton.Keyword : Zooplankton, Tajwid Lake, Oxbow Lake.]]>
