We investigated how spatial distribution and filtering efficiency of Daphnia in the transition and lacustrine zones of the Nanwan Reservoir (China). Samplings were conducted seasonally for 2 years from six sites in the reservoir. Daphnia abundance and biomass were significantly higher in the lacustrine zone than in the transition zone. Similar composition and biomass of edible phytoplankton were found in the two zones, suggesting that food quantity could not explain high Daphnia distribution in the lacustrine zone. The variations of water velocity and food quality could help explaining Daphnia patchy distribution in the reservoir. On the one hand, rapid water velocity can cause the Daphnia decrement in the transition zone. On the other hand, the ratio of particulate organic carbon (POC) to chlorophyll a (chl a) concentration was significantly higher in the transition zone, indicating more allochthonous material constituted the food source for Daphnia. The lower quality food likely suppressed Daphnia development in the transition zone. A linear regression between Daphnia abundance and Secchi depth (SD) may suggest a cause-effect relationship where increased filtering efficiency was responsible for increased water clarity to some extent.展开更多
为了解南湾水库底栖动物现状,于2015～2016年对该水库按季节进行了周年调查。调查中共检出20种(水生昆虫12种,寡毛类7种,其他类群1种),全年优势种为霍甫水丝蚓、德永摇蚊和前突摇蚊。经MRPP检验,底栖动物群落结构存在季节差异,春季显著...为了解南湾水库底栖动物现状,于2015～2016年对该水库按季节进行了周年调查。调查中共检出20种(水生昆虫12种,寡毛类7种,其他类群1种),全年优势种为霍甫水丝蚓、德永摇蚊和前突摇蚊。经MRPP检验,底栖动物群落结构存在季节差异,春季显著不同于夏秋冬季,且夏秋冬季群落结构差异不显著。底栖动物平均密度和生物量分别为171.43 ind./m2和0.503 4 g/m2,寡毛类对密度的贡献比为75.20%,水生昆虫对生物量的贡献比为80.65%。底栖动物密度和生物量季节差异显著,Shannon-wiener指数春季>冬季>夏季>秋季。群落状态指数(Integral Index of Communities State,IICS)季节差异显著,南湾水库水生态状况春冬季要好于夏秋季。底栖动物现存量处于较低水平可能与该水库季节性水温分层现象突出以及水体处于富营养状态有关。结合水质理化指标,该水库采用IICS指数对水生态状态进行定量评估较为适宜。根据IICS指数与环境因子相关性分析结果,发现随着水温的升高,藻类的过度旺盛生长对底栖动物种群具有一定的抑制作用,特别是水体交换率较低且存在较长时间温跃层的水库。展开更多
