abstract={Several studies explored the importance of integrated salt-production and possibilities of fish meal cultivation during salt farming along the coast of Arabian Sea from the month of November to Mid-June. Hundreds of acres of land in Mumbai, would be converted into a high economical fertile zone by introducing zooplankton culture as a fish meal. This is an opportunity to develop blue economy for a populous country like India. The present research included monthly hydrological analysis and the study of zooplankton distribution in bhandup salt-pans, Mumbai. The brine environment has been studied through a dataset and comprising the taxonomic composition of zooplankton in 5 different regions in a series of bimonthly sampling for 8months. Economically important species of Zooplankton, found abundant in salt pan and are recommended for cultivation due to their high demand as a live fish feed such as <i>Fabrea</i> <i>salina (Henneguy, 1890)</i> it is ranging from (4942-125913 Ind/l), i.e. (ˇ°Individual per litreˇ±) <i>Artemia salina (Linnaeus,1758) it ranges from</i> (1041.8- 4292 Ind/l), Copepods 102042- 174832 Ind/l), etc.},
