Zooplanktons are bio-indicators of waterecosystems. Their diversity depends on the water condition. In the present study, samples were collected from the six different locations of two Rivers namely; Saraswati and Shingoda for the study of zooplankton diversity. These rivers are located in Gir-Somnath district of Gujarat. The entire work was carried out during the winter season and the effort was being made to analyze the diversity of Zooplankton in different selected sites to compare the diversity found in both the rivers. During the survey 14 physicochemical parameters of water like pH, Electric conductivity, DO, BOD, TS, TDS, TSS, Total Hardness, Ca ++ Hardness, Mg+ Hardness, Alkalinity, Acidity, Salinity, and Chlorinity were also analyzed. Total 16 species of zooplankton were recorded among which Acrocalanus gracilis, Calanopia minor, Centropages tenuiremis, Copepod nauplii, Tortanus barbatus, Pseudodiaptomus serricaudatus and Tortanus forcipatus werethemostdominantzooplankton.
