ABSTRAKMengingat peranan zooplankton dalam ekosistem perairan sangat penting, maka dilakukan penelitian dengan tujuan untuk menganalisis struktur komunitas zooplankton yang meliputi jenis, kelimpahan, dan indek ekologi, dan  kaitan  distribusi zooplankton dan kualitas perairan di Perairan Kabupaten Lombok Utara. Pengumpulan data dirancang dengan sistem informasi geografis (SIG) pada 23 stasiun pengamatan yang ditentukan dengan teknik acak sederhana.  Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jenis dan kelimpahan zooplankton yang ditemukan di Perairan Kabupaten Lombok Utara cukup bervariasi dengan jumlah genus  sebanyak 9 yang terbagi  dari  5 kelas.  Berdasarkan perhitungan indeks ekologi menunjukkan bahwa struktur  komunitas zooplankton dalam kategori perairan yang kurang stabil. Kelimpahan dan indeks ekologi zooplankton  dipengaruhi oleh kondisi lingkungan (fisik-kimia) perairan antara lain  kecerahan, pH dan oksigen terlarut. Kata kunci : zooplankton,  struktur komunitas, kualitas perairan, kelimpahanABSTRACTConsidering that the role of zooplankton in aquatic ecosystems is very  important, research is carried out with the aim of analyzing zooplankton community structure which includes the type, abundance, and ecological index, and the relation of zooplankton distribution and water quality in North Lombok Regency Waters. Data collection was designed with a geographical information system (GIS) on 23 observation stations that were determined by simple random techniques. he results of this study indicate that the type and abundance of zooplankton found in the waters of North Lombok Regency are quite varied with the number of genus as many as 9 which are divided into 5 classes. Based on the calculation of the ecological index shows that the zooplankton community structure is in the category of less stable waters. The abundance and ecological index of zooplankton is influenced by the environmental (physical-chemical) conditions of the waters including brightness, pH and dissolved oxygen. Keywords: zooplankton, community structure, water quality, abundance

Abstract. Aquatic ecosystems and biota are often adversely affected by anthropogenic activities. Consequently, zooplanktons have been used to monitor anthropogenic impacts because of their sensitivity to their environment. Water quality and zooplankton community of the Eme River, Umuahia, was assessed between December 2017 and November 2018. The study was carried out in six stations in relation to human activities. Human activities in the watershed were dominated by sand mining. A quantitative filtration method was used for the zooplankton sample collection while standard sample collection and analytical methods were used for the water samples. The zooplankton species recorded were 27 while the most abundant zooplankton group was Rotifera. A known pollution indicator, Daphnia pulex, had the highest number of individuals. The effects of human activities in the watershed were reflected in the results of some of the physicochemical parameters of the river. The zooplankton assemblage and community structure also reflected the effects of human activities in the river. Combined effects of human activities and season contributed to the relatively low zooplankton abundance recorded particularly in some downstream stations. The impacts of sand mining on water quality and zooplankton were more remarkable in the downstream stations (4 6) where the activity was intense while a large number of children swimming and related activities during the dry season had some impacts in station 1. The dominance of indicator and tolerant species indicated that the river was undergoing eutrophication. Sand mining among other observed anthropogenic activities was a major contributor to the nutrient enrichment in the river. The major water quality parameters influencing the zooplankton community structure was revealed by canonical correspondence analysis.

Long-term studies had been held on the lakes of the Volga-Kama State Natural Reserve (Russia). The aim of our research was to study the biodiversity of planktonic rotifers and crustaceans, zooplankton community structure characteristics and also water quality assessment with bioindication methods. 137 species of zooplankton were identified in our research. In all lakes rotifers were presented by highest number of species. The lowest number ofspecies was found for copepods. In general, the species composition of zooplankton is typical for eutrophic lakes of Middle Volga region. The species most commonly found in lakes are indicators of eutrophic waters. We also analyzed and compared the structure of zooplankton communities and taxonomic composition in different types of nature reserve lakes. It was shown that changing the relationship between taxonomic groups of zooplankton and increase of rotifers in the community is also a sign of eutrophication. According to the abundance rotifers dominated in most lakes. Drastic changes in quantitative indicators of zooplankton during the growing season, due to an increase in the abundance of one of the species were typical of eutrophic lakes of the reserve. Studies have shown that in meso-eutrophic and eutrophic lakes the indicators that reflect the structure of the zooplankton community are the most informative for the assessment of the water quality. Lakes Raifskoe and Ilinskoe were the least polluted, and characterized by the structure of communities of mesotrophic type. The rest of the lakes are more prone to eutrophication processes and community structure of zooplankton corresponds to eutrophic lakes type.
