摘要

Abstract

Most urban rivers play an important role in urban flood control and drainage in China

but pollution is fast becoming an issue of greater importance in water management. In this study

63 zooplankton species were recorded in four downtown rivers in Shanghai between November 2007 and October 2008. Of these

44 species belonged to the Rotifera

13 to Cladocera

and six to Copepoda. The three most frequently occurring zooplankton (Brachionus calyciflorus

Microcyclops leuckarti

and Asplanchna priodonta) accounted for 80.00%

76.84%

and 53.68%

respectively. Rotifera were found to be dominant

comprising 86.26% of total zooplankton

while cladoceran and copepod abundance amounted to 5.08% and 8.67%

respectively. Water temperature

salinity

electrical conductivity

and total nitrogen were of the greatest significance in the occurrence of zooplankton. Two species (Schmackeria forbesi and Lepadella ovalis) were notably more sensitive to environmental factors such as salinity and electrical conductivity than other species. The population size and community were inversely correlated with the increasing nutrient levels of the four rivers

suggesting that the water quality of the four rivers had been gradually recovering from a severe eutrophic state and that water conditions of the rivers had been gradually improved.
