摘要

Abstract

Cladocera are filter feeders abundant in freshwaters

which consume phytoplankton particles in wide size and taxonomic ranges. The ability of cladocerans to control phytoplankton abundance by grazing is determined by various factors including the characteristics of phytoplankton. Freshwater salinization may reduce the strength of top-down grazing control of phytoplankton because of the detrimental effects of salinity on the grazing intensity of zooplankters. We performed grazing experiments with two species of Cladocera of different body lengths to test their ability to graze on phytoplankton in natural waters differing in salinity and size and taxonomic composition of food particles. Grazing experiments demonstrated that the grazing rate was mostly controlled by the abundance of phytoplankton in the medium. The grazing rate was reduced at salinity ca. above 3 g/L of NaCl in the medium. The lower grazing rate was observed in the medium with larger phytoplankton particles. Both species predominantly consumed phytoplankton particles with a diameter of 6–12 µm

which may shift the size distribution of phytoplankton towards a larger average diameter of particles. The taxon-specific feeding was also observed

as both species predominantly consumed diatom algae. Thus

we found that because of grazing

the size and taxonomic characteristics of phytoplankton are shifted towards a less edible community. The detrimental effect of elevated salinity on grazing rate supports growing concern about freshwater salinization negatively affecting water quality

particularly reducing top-down grazing control of phytoplankton.
