摘要

Abstract

Rotifer community structure was investigated in Yangcheng Lake in 2008. Dominant species and species diversity indices were determined and Q B/T was used to assess water quality. The annual average density and biomass of the rotifers in Yangcheng Lake was 2 894 ± 1 006 ind./L and 12.47 ± 10.28 mg/L

respectively. The highest densities were observed in the western portion of the lake in March

but the highest biomass occurred in inflowing creeks in September. Within a year of monitoring in Yangcheng Lake

93 species were identified and the dominant species were found to be Polyarthra trigla

Brachionus angularis

Keratella cochlearis

Keratella valga

Brachionus calyciflorus

and Filinia major. Of the species recorded

75 were pollution indicator species. Density and biomass exhibited significant positive correlations with water temperature (R = 0.209

P = 0.003; R = 0.446

P = 0.000)

but the peak density showed two lags in response to chl a. According to the Jaccard similarity index (S J)

the greatest similarity among dominant species occurred between creeks and the eastern part of the lake. The annual average Shannon-Wiener diversity index H′

Margalef richness index D and Pielou evenness index J were 1.96 ± 0.34

1.61 ± 0.50 and 0.77 ± 0.10

respectively. In all four areas of Yangcheng Lake

β-mesosaprobic species comprised the largest share of pollution indicator species. These data suggest that Yangcheng Lake is mesosaprobic.
