文摘We made comparative studies of three tropical ox-bow lakes in India with different trophic states.The species number of zooplanktons was negatively correlated with the degree of water eutrophication,and lakes of similar trophic status had higher similarity of species.The most significant differences of species composition were observed with rotifers and zoobenthos.The density and biomass of phytoplankton,rotifers,oligochaetes and chironomids tended to increase with increasing nutrients.We observed a significant difference of dominant species in different waters,especially the eutrophic lake,which was dominated by a few species of oligochaetes.The abundance of Tanypus bilobatus showed a highly significant correlation with the degree of eutrophication.Rotifers and zoobenthos showed considerably lower biodiversity in the eutrophic lake.
