Mercury Biomagnification between Two Trophic Levels of a Grazing Food Chain (Plankton and Planktivorous Fish) in a Fresh Water Ecosystem
Background: The Present study was carried out to track and calculate Biomagnification Factor (BMF) of total mercury (T-Hg) between two different trophic levels (i.e., plankton and a planktivorous fish) in a fresh water grazing food chain. Methods: Experimental organisms were planktonic biomass and silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) as a planktivorous fish. Silver carp samples were obt...
متن کاملIndependent gradients of producer, consumer, and microbial diversity in lake plankton.
Interactions between trophic levels during food web assembly can drive positive correlations in diversity between producers, consumers, and decomposers. However, the contribution of trophic interactions relative to local environmental factors in promoting species diversity is poorly understood, with many studies only considering two trophic levels. Here we examine correlations in diversity amon...
متن کاملplanktonic Frequency and Biodiversity survey of Shadegan wetland and determination of its trophic status
In this study frequency and composition of plankton in Shadegan wetland was carried out in 5 stations during 2007-2008. Genus qualitative identification and their composition and quantitative frequency aspect were studied (for phytoplankton chlorophyll a). Frequency of total 42 genus phytoplankton in 4 classes Bacilariophyceae (Diatom), Cyanophyceae, Chlorophyceae and Dinophyceae are 69.4, 22.2...
متن کاملThe using of microzooplankton biological indexes in identify of ecological situation of bamanshir water (NW Persian Gulf)
Microzooplankton plays an important role in aquatic food web and they act as trophic intermediates between the phytoplankton and higher trophic levels. The purpose of this investigation was to study the ecological situation of bahmanshir base on biological indexes calculation. Biological indexes of zooplankton in coastal region of bahmanshir waters were investigated. Samples were collected usin...
متن کاملPrey size diversity hinders biomass trophic transfer and predator size diversity promotes it in planktonic communities
Body size exerts multiple effects on plankton food-web interactions. However, the influence of size structure on trophic transfer remains poorly quantified in the field. Here, we examine how the size diversity of prey (nano-microplankton) and predators (mesozooplankton) influence trophic transfer efficiency (using biomass ratio as a proxy) in natural marine ecosystems. Our results support previ...
