摘要

Abstract

The seasonal dynamics of a crustacean zooplankton community in Erhai Lake was investigated from May 2010 to April 2011. In total

11 species were recorded

including six (6 genera) cladoceran and five (5 genera) copepod species. The crustacean zooplankton densities ranged from 24.3 to 155.4 ind./L. In winter and spring

the large-bodied cladoceran Daphnia galeata dominated the crustacean plankton community. In summer and autumn

when the colonial or filamentous algae dominated the phytoplankton communities

the small-bodied species (e.g. B osmina fatalis

Ceriodaphnia quadrangular

and Mesocyclops leuckarti) replaced the large-bodied ones. One-way ANOVA and redundancy analysis revealed that community structure was dependent upon total nitrogen

total phosphorus

water temperature

transparency

and the biomass of small algae. The variation in both phytoplankton structure and environmental variables were important factors in the seasonal succession of crustacean zooplankton structure in Erhai Lake.
