Abstract:
Pheasant Tailed Jacana, Hydrophasianus chirurgus is a beautiful bird which has maintained its presence in abandoned wetlands of Punjab during summer. This study was designed to associate the population levels of Pheasant Tailed Jacana with the biotic factors in its habitat like algae, protozoan, Rotifers, Cladocerans, and Copepods in plankton. Studies were recorded to find their optimal range of this species. Water samples were collected in a bottle directly or by using a pump to sample nana-planktons. In the phytosociological studies on distribution and frequency of rooted plant species were recorded to understand their association with the species. A total of 31 species were distributed in four vegetation types from jacana habitat. o o 5.0 m deep. Head Qadirabad: (32.19 N, 73.39 E
