Abstract

Aim: The zooplankton community is used as a bioindicator of environmental changes and can be an indicator of trophic status in aquatic environments through changes in the composition of the community. The objective of this work was to study the variation of shallow reservoir systems in an urban park, evaluating the relationships between physical, chemical, and biological variables.

Methods: The collections were conducted monthly for a year in the surface of reservoirs. The physical and chemical variables of the water were measured using a multiparametric probe on the surface. Nutrient analysis was performed using spectrophotometry in the laboratory. Zooplankton was collected using a plankton net (60 µm mesh size). Principal Coordinate Analysis (PCoA) was used to verify whether the three reservoirs present differences in zooplankton community composition.

Results: Altogether, 43 taxa belonging to 16 families were collected. Rotifera was the most representative group, with 27 taxa, Cladocera had 13 taxa, and Copepoda had only three taxa. The environmental variables indicated different trophic status between the reservoirs, demonstrating greater eutrophication in reservoirs 1 and 3. An association between the composition of the zooplankton community and the trophic state of the reservoirs was verified.

Conclusions: The composition of the zooplankton community shows differences among three of the shallow urban reservoirs studied. Reservoir 1 exhibited Filinia terminalis and Asplanchna herrick as indicator species. As for reservoir 2, with a lower trophic status, the indicative species were Bosmina freyi and Diaphanosoma polyspina, correlated with lower concentrations of nitrate, nitrite, total phosphorus, pH, and lower values of electrical conductivity. Reservoir 3 exhibited Brachionus angularis and Brachionus calyciflorus as indicator species, demonstrating a similar nutrient profile to R1, but with higher nitrate concentrations.

Resumo

Objetivo: A comunidade zooplâncton é utilizada como bioindicador de mudanças ambientais e pode ser um indicador do estado trófico em ambientes aquáticos através de mudanças na composição da comunidade. O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar a variação de sistemas de reservatórios rasos em um parque urbano, avaliando as relações entre variáveis físicas, químicas e biológicas.

Métodos: As coletas foram realizadas mensalmente durante um ano na superfície dos reservatórios. As variáveis físicas e químicas da água foram medidas por meio de sonda multiparamétrica na superfície. A análise dos nutrientes foi realizada por espectrofotometria em laboratório. O zooplâncton foi coletado com rede de plâncton (malha de 60 µm). A Análise de Coordenadas Principais (PCoA) foi utilizada para verificar se os três reservatórios apresentam diferenças na composição da comunidade zooplanctônica.

Resultados: Ao todo foram coletados 43 táxons pertencentes a 16 famílias. Rotifera foi o grupo mais representativo, com 27 táxons, Cladocera teve 13 táxons e Copepoda teve apenas três táxons. As variáveis ambientais indicaram diferentes estados tróficos entre os reservatórios, demonstrando maior eutrofização nos reservatórios 1 e 3. Foi verificada associação entre a composição da comunidade zooplanctônica e o estado trófico dos reservatórios.

Conclusões: A composição da comunidade zooplanctônica apresenta diferenças entre três dos reservatórios urbanos rasos estudados. O reservatório 1 exibiu Filinia terminalis e Asplanchna herrick como espécies indicadoras. Já no reservatório 2, com menor status trófico, as espécies indicativas foram Bosmina freyi e Diaphanosoma polyspina, correlacionadas com menores concentrações de nitrato, nitrito, fósforo total, pH e menores valores de condutividade elétrica. O reservatório 3 exibiu Brachionus angularis e Brachionus calyciflorus como espécies indicadoras, demonstrando perfil nutricional semelhante ao R1, mas com maiores concentrações de nitrato.
