Zooplankton of Mida Creek.
The objective of the zooplankton group was to establish an inventory of zooplankton resident in Mida creek, their diversity and quantify their abundance, spatial and temporal distribution. Apart from this, various hydrographic parameters were measured simultaneously in order to find out whether any correlation existed between the two. Among the hydrographic parameters measured were temperature, salinity, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen. In April 1996, the research team established four stations. These were located approximately 3 kms apart starting from the creek mouth to the backwaters of the creek. They were named station 6 at the creek mouth, station 4 located parallel to Hemmingway dry docking platform, station 3 at Sudi Island picnic site and station 1 at Dabasso beach.
