This is a notice of retraction of the article: Seasonal succession of crustacean zooplankton in Wular lake of the Kashmir Himalaya, published in the Archives of Biological Sciences in 2013, Vol. 65, Issue 3. The Editor-in-Chief has been informed of different degrees of scholarly misconduct in figures and tables presented in this article. After inspection, the following issues were revealed: 1) Table 2 contains a subset of the results described in Table 2 in previously published papers, respectively: I. Shah J A, Pandit A K.

The present limnological investigations include analysis of various physico- chemical parameters at the selected site in Wular lake, Kashmir (a Ramsar site) from March, 2007 to February, 2008. The aim of current study was to evaluate the status of the Wular lake water on the basis of different physico-chemical conditions. The water depth ranged from 1.35 (m) to 2.60 (m). The pH of the water was on alkaline side throughout the study period. The lake depicted the usual cation progression: Ca > Mg. The lake can be categorized as calcium rich after Ohle (1934). Specific conductance was found low in spring and summer. High values of transparency were recorded in winter. The lake water is typical hard water type. The alkalinity was due to bicarbonates only. High values of both NO3–N (338 ?g/L) and PO4–P (203 ?g/L) were recorded during summer. Statistical analysis was also carried out to find out the degree of relationship between various abiotic factors. Dissolved oxygen showed significant negative correlation with water temperature (r = –0.839), whereas significant positive correlation with pH (r = 0.854) at the selected site. pH showed significant negative correlation with water temperature (r = –0.777) and CO2 (r = –0.854) respectively, at the selected site.

In the present paper an effort has been made to evaluate the trophic status of two lakes viz; Dal Lake and Manasbal Lake on the basis of physico-chemical parameters criterion. Four ecologically different habitats in each lake were selected for the present study i.e DL1-DL4 & MS1-MS4 in Dal and Manasbal Lake respectively. The rate of pollution in both the lakes varied from basin to basin as well as lake to lake. It has been observed that both lakes are subjected to anthropogenic stress in the form of nutrient enrichment which changes the overall trophic status of both the lakes. However, the stress is more pronounced in Dal Lake as compared to Manasbal Lake which shows higher pollution levels as depicted by physico-chemical parameters. While the rural lake (Manasbal) is marching towards high trophic nature as a result of heavy influx of nutrients from the catchment area, the urban valley lake (Dal) operating under tremendous anthropogenic pressures receives heavy load of pollutants leading to its rapid trophic evolution in the form of eutrophication.
