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.

Lake Water Quality

A 3-year study was conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers assessing water quality related impacts of aquaculture of 250,000 channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) in floating net pens in the Rock Creek Arm of Lake Texoma, Oklahoma/Texas. Five large nylon nets suspended from a floating framework of galvanized metal anchored in open water 100 m offshore made up the net pens with fish stocking densities varying from 88 to 219 fish/m3. Water quality sampling was conducted biweekly from April to September and monthly from October to March at three locations. On all sampling dates field measurements of water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and conductivity were recorded at 1 m depth intervals and water samples were collected at a depth of 0.5 m and near the bottom of the water column at each site. Sample analyses included: total alkalinity, total hardness, turbidity, chloride, sulfate, orthophosphate, total phosphorus, nitrate-N, nitrite-N, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, total organic carbon, dissolved organic carbon, biochemical oxygen demand, and chlorophyll a. The results showed statistically significant decreases in water temperature and dissolved oxygen and significant increases in field conductivity in surface waters near the net pens relative to other sampling sites. The most dramatic water quality effect observed during the study was decrease in dissolved oxygen levels near the net pens following lake turnover in the second year.

Water quality determines the distribution of aquatic organisms within aquatic ecosystem. Deterioration of water quality is of a great concern in  freshwater ecosystem because of its adverse effects on freshwater organisms. Therefore, the physico-chemical parameters of Ikere-gorge were examined in this study to determine its suitability for fish production. Air and water temperature, transparency, electrical conductivity and totaldissolved solids were determined in-situ. Dissolved oxygen, alkalinity, hardness, phosphate and nitrate were determined with standard analytical methods. The selected parameters examined in this study were determined monthly between January 2017 and December 2018. The mean monthly values of physico-chemical parameters of Ikere-gorge obtained are as follows: air temperature (27.46±1.82 ºC), water temperature (28.14±1.57 ºC), pH (6.50±0.63), water transparency (1.34±0.12 m), dissolved oxygen (5.93±0.29 mg/L), electrical conductivity (130.59±7.59 μS/cm), total dissolved solids (67.67±4.37 mg/L), total hardness (56.70±15.76 mg/L), total alkalinity (58.97±9.53 mg/L), total phosphate (2.22±0.67 μg/L) and nitrate  (2.90±1.23 μg/L). Likewise, it was observed that surface water temperature had negative significant relationship with dissolved oxygen at P < 0.05.Transparency has negative significant relationship with phytoplankton abundance at 0.05 (P ˂ 0.05) and with phosphate and nitrate at 0.01 significant level. The annual mean of Trophic Status Index based on total phosphate is 15.04±1.63. This classified Ikere-gorge trophic status as mesotrophic at stage 2. The result of this study reveals the mesotrophic status of Ikere-gorge and water quality are within the ranges recommended  for fish production and should be adequately managed for sustainable fish production.

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.

<p>The existence of Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera (EPT) in a body of water can be used as indicators of the quality of the waters. The aim of this study were 1) to know the diversity of EPT insects in Jangkok River, Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, 2) determine the water quality of Jangkok River based on family biotic index (FBI), and 3) to know the effect of physical, chemical, and biological of environment parameters on the presence of EPT insects. Sampling was conducted in Jangkok River, Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, in the dry season of July 2016. EPT groups insects were taken using water nets and eckman grab in 22 sampling points that was randomly determined in systematic random sampling. Data of physical, chemical, and biology of waters were also taken in these sampling points. Water quality is determined by the score of FBI, and the multiple correlation analysis to determine the relationship between physical and chemical parameters with the presence of EPT. Biological parameter was analyzed descriptively. The influence of biological parameter was determined by descriptive analysis. The study found 902 individuals of EPT belonging to 12 family and 12 genera. In the upstream we found 788 individuals (12 family and 12 genus), in the middlestream found 114 individuals (10 family and 10 genus), while in the downstream the EPT was absent. From the seven physical and chemical parameters of waters tested, only water temperature has significant correlation with the presence of EPT. The differences of water temperature in these area were caused by the covering and heterogeneity of the vegetation in the river side in each area. FBI score for upstream was 3.6 which indicates that the quality of the waters are very good. In the middlestream, the FBI score was 4.6, and it was categorized as good. In the downstream, results of the FBI get infinite value that entered the category as very bad.</p>

The present work was conducted by monitoring the water from twelve major tin mine ponds water in Plateau State, North Central Nigeria (Bokkos, Barkin – Ladi and Jos – South) used for irrigation. Their quality was assessed in terms of physico-chemical parameters for dry and rainy seasons. The physico-chemical parameters such as; Turbidity, pH, Temperature, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total alkalinity (TA), Total Hardness (TH), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Phosphate (PO43-), Sulphate (SO42-), Chloride (Cl- ), Fluoride (F-), Sodium (Na+) and Potassium (K+)  were investigated to ascertain the water quality for irrigation purposes. Water quality parameters with regards to its use for the purpose of irrigation such as FAO/WHO/FEPA standards satisfy the requirement for use in agriculture. However, turbidity which ranged from18.1 – 27.4 and 15.9 – 18.8, dissolved oxygen 20.9 – 26.3 and 20.2 – 27.4 mg/L, Total alkalinity 101 – 134 and 122 – 167mg/L, total phosphate 6.3 – 8.9 and 6.5 – 10.5 mg/L, BOD 7.4 – 23.8 and 7.2 – 29.2 mg/L, potassium 1.13 – 1.18 and 3.81 – 4.63 mg/L both in dry and rainy seasons, respectively were found to be above the irrigation water standard limits. The study therefore recommends that the mining pond water should be used with caution as some of the parameters are liable to be toxic to the irrigated crops. The positive correlation exhibited among some of the parameters examined is a clear indication of a common relationship between these sources of water.

The study measures the relationship between physico-chemical variables with the cell density of phytoplankton in nursery, growout and broodstock ponds of fish. This study was conducted at Natore Government Fish Farm in Bangladesh from January to June, 2012. The observed physico-chemical variables like water temperature, transparency, dissolved oxygen, pH, ammonia-nitrogen, total alkalinity and total hardness were found within the standard ranges. Phytoplankton belonging to bacillariophyceae, chlorophyceae, cyanophyceae and euglenophyceae were found among the ponds but euglenophyceae with highest abundance was recorded in almost all the ponds. Total abundance of different groups of phytoplankton was recorded as mean (±SD) cell density (cell/l) (62.77±2.16)×104, (47.22±0.69)×104, and (77.12±3.42)×104 in nursery pond, growout pond and broodstock pond, respectively. Overall phytoplankton abundance was more in broodstock pond than in others. Total phytoplankton density has exhibited significantly positive correlation with dissolved oxygen (DO) and inverse relation with water temperature, pH, ammonia-nitrogen and total alkalinity in case of nursery pond. For growout pond, total phytoplankton density has exhibited significantly positive correlation with temperature and transparency, and significantly negative correlation with other physico-chemical characteristics. In case of broodstock pond, total phytoplankton density has no significant relationship with any physico-chemical variables of water.  Keywords: Nursery pond; Growout pond; Broodstock pond; Phytoplankton; Water quality, physico-chemical parameters  © 2013 JSR Publications.
