Abstract The present study illustrates a holistic account of zooplankton community dynamics in relation to physico − chemical variables in the tidal creeks of Indian Sundarbans estuarine system. Out of 11 water parameters, seven parameters (Temp., salinity, DO, turbidity, PO 4 − P, NO 3 − N and NO 2 − N) differed significantly ( p ≤ 0.05) among seasons. A total of 63 zooplankton taxa were recorded with the predominance of Copepoda, varying in ranges from 59.55 to 73.13% of the total zooplankton
