Abstract

Ecological studies on macrozoobenthos were conducted in two small plateau lakes in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau

Southwest China: Xingyun Lake (XL)

a eutrophic lake whose main source of primary production was phytoplankton (Chl a=99.76±24.01 μg/L)

and Yangzong Lake (YL)

a mesotrophic lake. Sampling was carried out from October 2002 to May 2004. Altogether 23 benthic taxa were identified in XL and 21 taxa in YL. The density of benthos in XL was much lower than that in YL

but the biomass was about equal in the two lakes

being 1 423 ind/m2 and 8.71 g/m2 in XL and 4 249 ind/m2 and 8.60 g/m2 in YL. The dominant species were Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri

Branchiura sowerbyi

Aulodrilus pluriseta and Chironomus sp. in XL and Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri

Aulodrilus pluriseta and Bellamya sp. in YL. Seasonal fluctuation occurred

showing richer species in summer and winter

but the density and biomass varied in different ways in the two lakes. Analyses on functional feeding groups indicate that collector-gatherers were predominant

but the relative abundances of other groups were different. Stepwise multiple regression analysis demonstrated that the water depth

conductivity and chlorophyll a were the key factors affecting macrozoobenthic abundance in the lakes.
