Zooplanktons are aquatic pelagic invertebrates belonging to several phyla of Invertebrates. Freshwater zooplankton varies qualitatively as well as quantitatively. The present investigation is made to investigate species diversity of freshwater zooplankton in Gofer meda reservoir in Hosanna town, Southern Ethiopia. Field data and laboratory-based spatio-temporal scale study design was employed, from Decemer, 2020 up to March, 2021, to determine the spatial distribution and temporal variation of Zooplankton species in the reservoir.Zooplankton samples were collected and preserved with appropriate procedures after field analysis for further research in the Laborotary. The identification was made by compound research microscopes, the indices were enumerated with the help of the Sedgwick-Rafter counting chamber. Selected physicochemical parameters were studied to corelate the suitability of the water bodies for faunal abundance. Out of the recorded 37 genera of Zooplankton in genus level, 17 genera belong to order Rotifer, 8 genera belong to order Copepod, 7 genera belong to order Cladocera, 3 belong to order Ostracodes and 2 Chironomida. Zooplanktons belonging to Rotifera constituted the most dominating contributing 46%, followed by Copepods contributing 21.6 %, Cladocera contributing 18.9 %, ostracodes contributing for 8.1 % and 5.4% for Chironomids. Further study involving longer data period, eco-toxicological impacts and water quality were recommended so that economic activities such as fish farming and aquaculture could be employed.
