Can microcystins affect zooplankton structure community in tropical eutrophic reservoirs?
The aim of our study was to assess whether cyanotoxins (microcystins) can affect the composition of the zooplankton community, leading to domination of microzooplankton forms (protozoans and rotifers). Temporal variations in concentrations of microcystins and zooplankton biomass were analyzed in three eutrophic reservoirs in the semi-arid northeast region of Brazil. The concentration of microcy...
متن کاملEutrophication Impact on Zooplankton Community
Zooplankton communities were investigated in a turbid shallow lake with an aim to analyze (i) relationships between ecological conditions and the communities and (ii) trophic state inferred from abiotic and biotic indicators. According to results emerged littoral vegetated zone increased diversity (30 taxa) in comparison to the pelagial (17 taxa). Rotifers dominated in terms of diversity and ab...
متن کاملEffects of eutrophication on size and biomass of crustacean zooplankton in a tropical reservoir.
This is a long-term study (1993-1998) on the effects of increasing eutrophication on the crustacean zooplankton structure in a eutrophic reservoir. The study first demonstrates that the eutrophication increase verified is a phenomenon well described by a single abiotic variable: total phosphorus. During the study period, zooplankton suffered extensive qualitative and quantitative changes. Signi...
متن کاملEutrophication modelling of reservoirs in Taiwan
Two reservoirs in Taiwan were modeled to simulate the hydrodynamics and water quality in the water column. The modelling effort was supported with data collected in the field for a 2-year period for both reservoirs. Spatial and temporal distributions of temperature in the water column of the two reservoirs were well reproduced by the hydrodynamic model. Model calculated concentrations of key wa...
متن کاملAquatic hyphomycetes communities occur as potential bioindicators of water quality
With a profound knowledge of how physico-chemical parameters affect these communities, microbial communities could be used as indicators for environmental changes and for risk assessment studies. We studied aquatic hyphomycete communities in ponds from sites shaped by intense human activities (namely the “Mansfeld region”) and Urmil river, there are no sources of man made effluents in Chhatarpu...
