This dataset presents a occurrence dataset of freshwater Cladocera species (Crustacea: Branchiopoda) observed in the wetlands of the Indian Botanic Garden, Howrah, West Bengal based on a study by Venkataraman and Das (2001).
The Indian Botanic Garden located on the northern bank of the river Hooghly, Howrah district, West Bengal consists of twenty-five wetlands of varying sizes. To study the Cladoceran fauna, four perennial lakes and ponds were selected. The survey was repeated for three different periods: April 1994, September 1994 and March 1995. Of the 38 species of Cladocera, belonging to 6 families and 24 genera, recorded in the present study, three are new records to West Bengal and one Diaphanosoma leuctenbergianum, is a new record to India. All the four species have been described in detail to facilitate identification. Except for a few species of Cladocera, most Chydorids occur in wetlands with specific macrophytes. The association between Cladocera and macrophytes suggests a specific interrelationship, which is yet to be established.
