An Attempt to Determine the Share of Zooplankton in Food Consumed by Fish in the Limnetic Zone of a Eutrophic Dam Reservoir
نویسندگان
چکیده
Zooplankton was the only food component of common bream and silver bream, and the main food component of roach and bleak in the pelagic zone of the Dobczyce Reservoir (southern Poland) from April to October 1994. Cladocera and Copepoda constituted 67.9% of the food consumed by the whole fish community. The average size of eaten individuals ranged from 0.62 to 1.43 mm. Planktivorous fishes selected phytoplankton-controlling filtrators, mainly large Daphnia species, which were eliminated most effectively in the summer.

This study was conducted at the Hanna Reservoir located in the southwest of Isfahan Province. According to this study, chemical analyses were conducted to evaluate the magnitude and variations of COD, BOD5, O2, NH3+ and NO2-concentrations in the Hanna Reservoir. In the headwaters the magnitude values of BOD5, COD and early morning oxygen minima were quite identical to the recommended optimum le...
متن کاملAssessment of temporal and spatial eutrophication index in a water dam reservoir
Eutrophication is considered as a serious problem in water reservoirs. Awareness about the eutrophic status of each reservoir could help in providing a better understanding of the problem in a global scale. The present study was conducted to assess temporal and spatial eutrophication index in a water reservoir (Sahand dam) in the northwest of Iran. Physico-chemical parametres that are effective...

The food and feeding habit of beardless barb, Cyclocheilichthys apogon (Valenciennes, 1842), from family Cyprinidae was investigated by stomach content analyses of 374 collected fish in two consecutive reservoirs Temengor and Bersia Reservoirs which are separated by Temengor Dam. The main aim of this study was to compare the stomach contents of C. apogon between these two reservoirs in wet and ...
