Zooplankton Abundance with NPK Fertilization

Composition, Abundance and Seasonality of Zooplankton in Mida Creek, Kenya

Samples were collected monthly at four fixed stations in Mida creek from May 1996 to April 1997, in order to determine the species composition, abundance and diversity of phytoplankton and zooplankton collected with 20and 332-μm mesh size plankton nets respectively. Sampling also included measurement of salinity and temperature. Peaks in phytoplankton abundance occurred in May and January, foll...

Ecology and abundance of zooplankton in Karanja reservoir

The present work aims to study the Zooplankton seasonal distribution and diversity in Karanja reservoir, Bidar district for the period of two years from October 2001 to September 2003. We have recorded 36 species of which, 15 species belongs to rotifera, 11 species belongs to cladocera, nine species belongs to copepoda and ostracoda three species. Among zooplankton, particularly rotifera was th...

Zooplankton abundance in the lower Orinoco River, Venezuela

Zooplankton were sampled quantitatively in the lower Orinoco River and three major tributaries (Apure, Caura, Caroni). Dominant taxa were euplanktonic, which suggests origin from standing waters. In the Orinoco, densities for rotifers (mean, 7.6 ind. liter -I) were greater than those for cladocerans (0.9 ind. liter-I) or copepods (1.2 ind. liter-‘), but cladocerans accounted for more than half ...

Response of Maize and Wheat to Increasing Rates of Npk-fertilization

Maize and wheat are main field crops on arable lands in Croatia. According to the data of the State Bureau for Statistics (Statistical Yearbook 2011) in the five-year period (2006-2010) mean used agricultural land in the category arable land and gardens in Croatia was 867123 ha. Mean harvested areas of maize (298412 ha) and wheat (176794 ha) occupied 55% of used arable land of the country. Majo...
