The number and diversity of zooplankton in a segment of the Ogbese River in Ado Ekiti were studied in this study. For a period of three months, samples were taken every two weeks. There were 16 genera of zooplankton identified, divided into three families. Rotifera, Cladocera, and Copepod were the zooplankton groups found. Rotifera had the greatest relative quantity of individuals, as evidenced by the relative abundance of individuals (61.7 percent ). Copepoda (24.7 percent) and Cladocera came in second and third, respectively (13. 4 percent ). Rotifera has 343 individuals per ml of water sample, Copepoda has 137 individuals per ml, and Cladocera has 74 individuals per ml of water sample, according to the numerical abundance. Rotifera > Copepoda > Cladocera is the order of zooplankton abundance.
