In order to provide a better characterization and understanding of the brine shrimp Artemia salina life-cycle, different ecological and biological parameters were taken out monthly during two periods from November 2005 to April 2006 and from November 2006 to April 2007 in Sabkhet El Adhibet (south-east Tunisia). Variation of water temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen, nutrients (orthophosphate, nitrites, nitrates and ammonium) and phytoplankton density were monitored. The Artemia population was also surveyed. Artemia were present in the site with salinity between 32.2 and 281.7 g l−1 and water temperature between 12.1 and 25.4°C. The pH ranged from 7.6 to 9 and dissolved oxygen concentration from 3.4 to 17.5 mg l−1. Minimum and maximum values of phytoplankton density were 0.19 and 14.59 106 cell l−1. In addition, the nutrient analysis registered showed that nitrate and ammonium represent the major nutrient. The Artemia population density fluctuated between 0.22 and 38.57 individuals per litre. The male:female ratio was dominated by the males. Artemia from Sabkhet El Adhibet showed variability in fecundity (total offspring and brood size) as well as in the ratio encystment/oviviparity. The individual fecundity fluctuates between 29.4 and 70.2 cysts and 17.8 and 69.8 nauplii. Finally, the influence of physical and chemical parameters as well as phytoplankton density over the Artemia population was noticed.

The aim of the paper is to identify macroinvertebrates distribution in response to induced stressors and physico-chemical parameters of water and sediment. The species composition of macrobenthic invertebrates as well as the physico-chemical characteristics of Badagry creek was investigated monthly. Six sampling stations selected based on different levels of human activities along the creeks stretch and samples were collected monthly from September 2006 to February 2007. The fluctuations of some of the physical and chemical parameters such as pH, dissolved oxygen, BOD and total organic carbon appeared to have been influenced by activities along the study stretch. Analysis of variance (ANOVA)  for all parameters showed no significant differences (P > 0.05) in the parameters but  Post hoc tests analysis using Duncan showed that there was a significant difference (P = 0.05) in the mean total of some of the parameters. pH, clay, sand and gravel were significantly correlated with other parameters while canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) model showed that the environmental variables correlated with significant part of the variations in the individual species abundance and it revealed that dominant species were found to be significantly correlated with dissolved oxygen, total dissolved solids, sand and pH.

A study was carried out to evaluate the ecology and diversity of the zooplankton of the Ganga River at Arrah from Bihar, India from January 2018 to December 2019. Varied physical and chemical parameters supporting the zooplankton and corresponding biodiversity indices were studied. The water temperature showed inverse correlation with pH, dissolved oxygen, whereas direct relationship with total alkalinity, hardness, chloride, nitrate and sulfate. A total of 23 genera of zooplankton belonging to 6 genera of Rotifera, 5 of Protozoa, 5 of Cladocera, 4 of Copepoda and 3 of Ostracoda were identified with a density from 2 to 213 ind./L. The analysis showed that density of zooplankton declined in post-monsoon and remained maximum in summer because of the various environmental and inflow characteristics of the water body. The density of zooplankton showed direct correlation with total alkalinity, hardness and chloride of water but inverse correlation with water temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen. Shannon-Weiner index, Margalef richness index, Pielou’s evenness index, Menhninick’s index and Simpson index were won’t to assess relation of water quality with zooplankton and limnological profile of the river. The diversity indices indicated moderate to high diversity of zooplankton and moderately polluted conditions of the river.

The study was carried out to identify the parasite and causative diseases on cage reared tilapia at Bakerganj upazila, Barisal district. The infected tilapia fishes were collected from the cages and brought to the laboratory to find out signs, symptoms and infection area on the fish body. Physico-chemical parameters of water, such as water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, nitrate, phosphate and ammonia were monitored fortnightly. The values of water temperature (°C), pH, dissolved oxygen (mg/l), nitrate (mg/l), phosphate (mg/l) and ammonia (mg/l) were 32.4±2.1, 6.2±0.3, 7.52±0.4, 0.028±.008, 11.30±2.26 and 0.09±0.02, respectively but the concentration of nitrate was so higher during the study time. Eleven species of parasites namely, Chilodonella sp, Trichodiniasp., Gyrodactylussp.,Cichlidogyrus sp., Capillariasp, Orientocreadium sp, Eustrongylidae sp, Allocreadium sp, Euclinostomum sp, Tylodelphys sp. and Metagonimus spwere were identified. Parasites were found on all the examined parts of the fish body but gill showed the most infested area of the host. Highest mortality rate was occurred in the month of October and lowest mortality rate was in July. In this circumstance, proper management system and handling are best ways to prevent diseases and reduce the mortality rate of tilapia on cage farming in the southern area. Res. Agric., Livest.

Copepod populations of three temporary freshwater pools (Alnus unit, Carex unit, and Molinia unit) were studied using a standard approach (species versus abiotic factors) and a holistic one (body size and feeding ecology). Multiple regression analyses of data indicate that the physical and chemical features of water (temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, mineral content, and depth) explain 62 to 98% of the variability of carnivorous copepods, while the abundance of their prey accounts for much less. No size class of prey seems to be preferred. The abundance of decaying organic matter, typical of such pools, would result in an overabundance of prey. Predators would then be under the control of nonalimentary factors.
