摘要

Abstract

Ciliated protozoa play important roles in micro-ecosystems

especially in marine biotopes. However

few studies have been carried out on the periphytic

or aufwuch

forms in mariculture waters so far. In this study

we sampled periphytic ciliate communities in two closed mariculture ponds (ponds CP1 and CP2) and a natural seawater reservoir (pond RP) using a glass slide method to evaluate their colonizing processes and general ecological features

as well as their application as water quality indicators. We analyzed species compositions

structural parameters (species number

richness

diversity

evenness

abundance and d BP) and functional parameters (G

S eq and T 90%). Pond RP was characterized by higher levels of structural parameters (except for abundance and d BP) and more equal proportion of the major taxonomic groups. The values of S eq were significantly higher in pond RP and similar in both pond CP1 and CP2. It was also demonstrated that environmental factors

including NO2-H

NO3-H

NH3-H

soluble reactive phosphate

temperature and pH

were the first principal factors affecting the communities. Among them

temperature and chemical factors were all significantly and negatively correlated with species number (P<0.01)

richness (P<0.01)

diversity (P<0.01)

and positive correlated with abundance (P<0.01). Opposite correlations between pH and structural parameters were observed. This study showed that there were significant differences in species composition

structural parameters and functional parameters of the periphytic ciliate communities among the ponds

which were in agreement with the water quality. Results of this study confirmed the periphytic ciliate communities to be useful bioindicators of water quality in intensive mariculture waters.
