Abstract
Statistical analysis of data concerning the zooplankton standing crop influenced by the hydrochemical characters and season over semi diel cycle were presented. A dendrogram for hierarchical classification of multivariate cluster analysis showed a succession of two clusters. Copepod varieties form a single cluster apart from the other zooplankton group indicated a positive correlation expressed by a low distance cluster scale combination. The chemical factors, especially salinity and nutrient composition, showed significant correlation sustaining the zooplankton standing crop.
