The aim of the present study was to investigate the zooplankton community at six reservoirs in the state of Pernambuco (Brazil). Zooplankton assemblages were identified using current literature and quantitatively analysed under a microscope and stereomicroscope. Concurrently to the sampling of zooplanktonic and phytoplanktonic communities, in situ measurements of abiotic variables, such as water temperature, dissolved oxygen and pH, were determined using field probes and transparency was determined with a Secchi disk. Total phosphorus concentrations were used for the determination of the Trophic State Index. The reservoirs were classified between eutrophic and hypertrophic, oxygenated, with pH varying from slightly acid to alkaline, high temperatures and low water transparency. A total of 27 zooplankton taxa were identified. Phytoplankton was represented by Cyanophyta, Chlorophyta, Baccilariophyta and phytoflagellates. The highest richness of species was observed for Rotifera (17), followed by Crustacea (8), Protozoa (1) and Insecta (1). Rotifers shared quantitative importance with Crustacea, which were mainly represented by juvenile forms. Jazigo Reservoir presented the highest diversity and equitability. Lowest diversity and equitability were recorded at the Poço da Cruz and Mundaú reservoirs, respectively. Dissimilarity was detected between the environments studied regarding zooplankton composition and structure.

ABSTRAKSungai Banjir Kanal Timur merupakan salah satu sungai besar yang dimiliki Kota Semarang. Sungai ini berfungsi dalam sistem drainase dan pengendalian banjir. Beberapa aliran sungai mengalir ke Sungai Banjir Kanal Timur dan berakhir di muara. Muara merupakan segmen yang akan menampung semua beban yang berasal dari sungai. Oleh karena itu, status trofik perairan di muara, khususnya Sungai Banjir Kanal Timur perlu dievaluasi dalam rangka pengelolaan lingkungan dan pemanfaatan sumberdaya alamnya. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan selama bulan Mei 2016 di muara Sungai Banjir Kanal Timur Semarang. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui kualitas air melalui status kesuburan perairan di muara Sungai Banjir Kanal Timur, berdasarkan metode Trophic State Index (Carlson, 1977) dan metode STORET dalam Kepmen LH No. 115 Tahun 2003 tentang Pedoman Penentuan Status Mutu Air dan PP RI No. 82 Tahun 2001 tentang Pengelolaan Kualitas Air dan Pengendalian Pencemaran Air. Variabel utama yang digunakan pada Analisis TSI Carlson adalah kandungan total N, total P, klorofil-a, dan kecerahan air (angka Secchi disk). Metode penelitian menggunakan metode deskriptif dengan penentuan lokasi sampling bersifat purposive sampling. Hasil yang diperoleh dari analisis TSI (Carlson, 1977) berkisar 53 – 57. Kriteria TSI menunjukkan bahwa TSI TP < TSI SD > TSI CHL dan TSI TP > TSI SD > TSI CHL. Pendugaan interpretasi hubungan tersebut menjelaskan bahwa fosfor membatasi biomasa alga (rasio TN/TP lebih besar dari 33:1), dan nilai TSI Chl yang rendah disebabkan beberapa faktor lain selain fosfor seperti, pemangsaan oleh zooplankton, kandungan nitrogen, dan sebagainya yang sifatnya mengurangi biomasa algae. Di sisi lain, analisis (Indeks STORET) menggunakan Kepmen LH No. 115 Tahun 2003 tentang Pedoman Penentuan Status Mutu Air menghasilkan skor, yaitu -8. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa kesuburan perairan muara Sungai Banjir Kanal Timur, Semarang menurut TSI (Carlson 1977) berada pada status eutrofik ringan atau (Indeks STORET, Kepmen LH No. 115 / 2003) termasuk kategori perairan tercemar ringan. Kata Kunci : Status Mutu Perairan, Trophic State Index Carlson (1977),  Kepmen  LH No. 115 Tahun 2003, muara Sungai Banjir Kanal Timur Semarang. ABSTRACTEast Banjir Kanal River is one of the largest river owned by the city of Semarang. The river has a main function as drainage system and flood control of the city. Several streams flowing into the East Banjir Kanal River and end at the estuary. As estuary accommodates all loads from the river, therefore, the trophic status of waters in particular for East Banjir Kanal River needs to be evaluated in the context of environmental management and utilization of natural resources. This work was conducted during May 2016 in the estuary of East Banjir Kanal River. The objective was to determine river water quality using Trophic State Index by Carlson (1977) and the STORET method in the Decree of the Minister of Environment of The Republic of Indonesia (Kepmen LH) No. 115/2003 regarding Guideline for the Determination of Water Quality Status and The Government Regulation of The Republic of Indonesia No 81/2001 regarding Water Quality Management and Water Pollution Control. The main variables used in the analysis of Trophic State Index by Carlson, 1977 are total N, total P, chlorophyll-a and water clarity. Descriptive method is used to determine random sampling points. The average results of all stations analysed by means of Trophic State Index (Carlson, 1977) ranged from 53-57. The interpretation showed that TSI TP < TSI SD > TSI CHL and TSI TP > TSI SD > TSI CHL, these mean that phosphorus limit the biomass of algae (the ratio TN/TP larger than 33:1). Furthermore, lower TSI Chl values in all sampling point were due to several factors other than phosphorus, such as predatory zooplankton, nitrogen which worked to reduce algal biomass. The STORET analysis in the Decree of the Minister of Environment of The Republic of Indonesia (Kepmen LH) No. 115/2003 about Guideline for the Determination of Water Quality Status gives an overall score of  minus 8. It is concluded that by applying both methods, the estuary of the East Banjir Kanal, Semarang during the course of the study were on light eutrophic status and categorized as lightly polluted waters. Keywords:  Water Quality Status, Trophic State Index Carlson (1977), Decree of the Minister of Environment of The Republic Indonesia (Kepmen LH) No. 115/2003, Estuary of East Banjir Kanal River Semarang.

The aim of this work was to study the phytoplankton community composition at limnetic environment in Pernambuco, Brazil. Samplings were carried out from April/2001 to March/2002. Samples to analyses the biotic variables were taken using a recipient with a large overture, at the subsurface and with a Van Dorn bottle at the bottom. The rainfall data were recorded and the water transparency was used to calculate the light attenuation coefficient, photic zone and the determination of trophic state index. The concentrations of total phosphorus and total nitrogen were determined in a typical dry and rainy month. Equitability, also the, similarity and diversity indexes and the densities and correlation of total densities among depths were calculated. Forty-five taxa were identified in Chlorophyta (21spp), Cyanophyta (17spp) and Bacillariophyta (7spp), while flagellates were quantified in groups without identification. Cyanophyta presented highest diversity at both the depths and Planktothrix agardhii was the highest density species. Significant differences were not observed between subsurface and bottom densities. Results showed that the reservoir was eutrophicated and presented high densities of Cyanophyta.

Remote sensing techniques have been widely used to measure the qualitative parameters of waterbodies. This work identifies the eutrophication status of 6 small and shallow lakes, including Hoan Kiem, Ba Mau, Bay Mau, Dam Tri, Truc Bach and Hai Ba Trung, in the Hanoiurban area using an empirical model developed from the in situ trophic state index (TSI) and Landsat 8 satellite data acquired on 21 September 2016 and 10 December 2016. The strong correlation between TSI values and the reflectance ratio of Landsat 8 band 3 versus band 2 (R2 = 0.69) allowed the quantification of the TSI by an exponential function (MSE = 0.04). Validation of the model for other water samples collected on the dates shows a high accuracy (R2 = 0.85; MSE = 0.4). Maps of TSI over the 6 lakes on the two dates surveyed clarified the eutrophication status of these lakes in autumn 2016 and demonstrate the trend in identifying the distribution of TSI from space. Study methods and data stated in this study confirm the high applicability of Landsat 8 satellite data for monitoring shallow lake eutrophication status.

Abstract In recent years closed and seasonally open oxbow lakes and river floodplains are subjected to eutrophication due to disconnection from river that compromises the hydro-ecological functions. This requires systematic studies to assess the ecological health of the water bodies using different indices and suggest appropriate strategies to manage the resources. The zooplanktons are closely link with surrounding environment throughout their life cycles and change rapidly in their growth and population when changes occurs in the surrounding, hence act as potential indicator of eutrophication. The present study examined the assemblage pattern of zooplankton community and trophic state of two ecologically distinct oxbow lakes based on eco-hydrological characteristics and community structure of rotifers and planktonic crustaceans seasonally over a period of 2 years. Comprehensive trophic state index (mTSI), rotifer trophic state index (mTSIROT) and Crustacean based indices (TSICR) were used to assess the degree of eutrophication. The Kruskal-Wallis test confirmed the heterogeneity of the eco-hydrological factors between the oxbow lakes. A total of 68 zooplankton species were identified of which rotifers (69%), cladocerans (18%), copepods (3%), ostacods (3%) and protozoans (7%). Seasonal fluctuation of relative abundance and frequency of species in both lakes have been well presented. Both lakes showed transition from high meso-eutrophic to moderately eutrophic state with mTSI, mTSIrot and mTSIcr values of 54.90±11.71 and 56.95±15.64, 59.55±4.54 and 60.26±4.48, 55.79±4.76 and 60.00±4.03 in Khalsi (seasonally open) and Akaipur (closed) respectively. The Canonical Correspondence analysis (CCA) revealed water quality parameters comparison NO3-N, water temperature and pH have contributed more in enhancement of abundance of eutrophication indicator species Brachionus and Keratella. The TSIs values indicated a prompt aquaculture fisheries management measures like stocking of planktivorous fish (Labeo catla and Puntius sp.) for both the lakes before they reach in plunged state at which their restoration might become a challenge. An overview of worldwide use of rotifer and crustacean based indices in assessment of TSI has also been synthesized. The use of these zooplankton indices to evaluate the trophic status of the ecologically distinct lakes is highly recommended for water quality assessment and management. Based on this study strategies could be developed to plan and manage floodplain oxbow lakes for fisheries enhancement programme as well as as conservation of biodiversity.

The variations in water quality parameters and trophic status of a multipurpose reservoir in response to changing intensity of monsoon rain was investigated by applying a trophic state index deviation (TSID) analysis and an empirical regression model to the data collected in two periods from 2014 to 2017. The reservoir in general maintained mesotrophic conditions, and Carlson’s trophic state index (TSIc) was affected most by TSITP. Nutrient concentrations, particularly phosphorus, did not show strong correlations with precipitation, particularly in the period with weak monsoon, and a significant increase in total phosphorus (TP) was observed in Spring 2015, indicating the possibility of internal phosphorus loading under decreased depth and stability of water body due to a lack of precipitation. TSIChl was higher than TSISD in most data in period 1 when a negligible increase in precipitation was observed in the monsoon season while a significant fraction in period 2 showed the opposite trend. Phytoplankton growth was not limited by nutrient limitation although nutrient ratios (N/P) of most samples were significantly higher than 20, indicating phosphorus-limited condition. TSID and regression analysis indicated that phytoplankton growth was limited by zooplankton grazing in the Spring, and that cell concentrations and community structure in the monsoon and post-monsoon season were controlled by the changing intensity of the monsoon, as evidenced by the positive and negative relationships between community size and cyanobacterial population with the amount of precipitation in the Summer, respectively. The possibility of contribution from internal loading and an increase in cyanobacterial population associated with weak monsoon, in addition to potential for nutrient enrichment in the post-monsoon season, implies a need for the application of more stringent water quality management in the reservoir that can handle all potential scenarios of eutrophication.
