dc.description.abstractA comparative study was conducted dealing with diversity and seasonal incidence of aquatic insects of ponds in South-West Punjab. Aquatic insects are group of arthropods that spend some or almost full life in water. They act as bioindicators and help in determining water quality of different water bodies. The sample collection was done fortnightly from 3 villages of Faridkot district viz. Pakka, Chambeli and Bhana from June 2018 to May 2019. The insect specimens were got identified and confirmed from ZSI, Kolkata and analysis of water samples for physico-chemical parameters was done using standard methods. A total of 1103 individuals of aquatic insects belonging to 4 orders (Coleoptera, Odonata, Hemiptera, and Diptera) were collected from three village ponds. The maximum number of aquatic insects was recorded from village Pakka (373) while minimum number was recorded from village Bhana(311). Hemiptera was the most dominant order in all three village ponds. Various water quality parameters like temperature, pH, EC, DO, BOD, alkalinity etc. were analysed. It was observed that there were slight variations in water quality parameters in three ponds. The result of study indicated high diversity of aquatic entomofauna in pond of village Pakka and suggests the possibility of using aquatic insects efficiently for biomonitoring purposes.en_US
