International Journal of Limnology publishes papers on the ecology of freshwater systems, ranging from studies of aquatic organisms, physical and chemical works which relate to the biological environment, to ecological applications and frameworks for water management directives.
Journal founded by University Paul Sabatier, Toulouse in 1964.
A mathematical model was used to analyze PMMoV,a sewage-associated virus, in the Seine River and to explain their downstream variation across Paris. This short note presents first results and provides a framework that could be applied to other rivers.
This study reveals that a lake from Vestfold Hills region of East Antarctica underwent significant palaeoclimatic transition from the Early-Middle to Late Holocene. At the onset of Late Holocene, relative warming caused the retreat glaciers in East Antarctica. Glacial retreat resulted in the isostatic uplift of the coastline, due to which several lakes of that region were disconnected from marine influence during the Late Holocene.
This essay explores the multifaceted personality of Raymond Rouch, a French scientist who contributed to the development of modern groundwater ecology, an area of research combining limnology and hydrogeology. As a widely cultured humanist and talented painter who left his mark on modern art, Rouch is a unique example of the successful combination of scientific creativity and artistic pursuits.
Vegetated shallow habitats strongly influenced macroinvertebrate diversity in Lago Menor, Lake Titicaca. Depth, macrophyte biomass, and seasonal hydrology shaped community structure. These findings improve understanding of biodiversity patterns in high-altitude tropical freshwater ecosystems.
This study presents a smart aquaponics system that integrates Internet of Things (IoT) monitoring with evolutionary optimization methods like Genetic Algorithm, Simulated Annealing, and Particle Swarm Optimization to regulate pH, temperature, and total dissolved solids. The approach improves plant growth, strengthens system stability, and supports sustainable freshwater food production.

Survival durations and behavioural adjustments of two freshwater bivalves (Unio terminalis, Unionida and Corbicula fluminea, Venerida) under two emersion conditionsFreshwater bivalves are often exposed to drought and are highly affected due to their limited mobility. According to the results, the presence of moist sediment during droughts provide protection for the bivalve species used in the study and extended survival durations. Additionally, no evidence was found regarding the effect of size on survival. Ann. Limnol. - Int. J. Lim., 56 (2020) 29

Movement patterns of juvenile and adult noble crayfish (Astacus astacus) in a small stream, determined by radiotelemetryThis first radiotelemetric study comparing summer movement patterns of juvenile and adult noble crayfish (Astacusastacus) found substantial differences between the two groups during the 24-h cycle. In addition, juveniles moved over significantly longer distances, predominantly upstream. Ann. Limnol. - Int. J. Lim., 55 (2019) 19

Effects of acute triclosan exposure on gill and liver tissues of zebrafish (Danio rerio)Triclosan (TCS) is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent found in personal care, household, veterinary, medical, and industrial products. TCS has been detected in soil, sediment, and surface water. In the current work, the effects of acute exposure to TCS on gill and liver tissues of zebrafish were evaluated and the results indicated that TCS caused distinct histopathological alterations. Ann.

Die hard in Lake Bourget! The case of Planktothrix rubescens rebornDetermining the factors responsible for cyanobacterial blooms is a key issue for scientists and lake stakeholders. This article provides a complete explanation for a recent bloom of Planktothrix rubescens that occurred in Lake Bourget (France) accompanied by a plausible scenario, likely to be used as a predictive tool in the future.

Aquarium trade and fish farms as a source of non-native freshwater fish introductions in French GuianaInvestigating freshwater fish introductions in French Guiana revealed the presence of 11 non-native species. Four are established and one is rapidly increasing its spatial range. Five other species are known from few specimens, but belong to highly invasive species, making those first occurrences an early warning for potential establishment and spread. Ann. Limnol. - Int. J.

Bottom-up and top-down effects on phytoplankton functional groups in Hulun Lake, ChinaThis study examines the effects of bottom-up (physical-chemical) and top-down (predation) factors on the phytoplankton functional groups in a eutrophic lake. The study revealed that the bottom-up effects of physical-chemical variables on some phytoplankton functional groups was stronger than the top-down effects of zooplankton. The study further showed that zooplankton functional groups were positively correlated with phytoplankton biomass implying that the top-down control of phytoplankton by the zooplankton in Lake Hulun is not strong enough to produce a negative effect. These finding serve as a basis for identifying how phytoplankton dynamics are influenced, which have implications for developing sustainable management strategies and conserving services of Lake Hulun and other eutrophic fresh water lakes.

Ecological status estimation of eight creeks in the Lake Sapanca Basin (Sakarya, Turkey) using diatom indicesIt is important to determine the water quality of the creeks in the Lake Sapanca basin since it is used for drinking water supply. For this purpose, environmental parameters and diatom assemblages as biological quality components were investigated to determine the ecological status of eight creeks with monthly intervals between March 2015 and February 2016. A total of 132 diatom taxa were identified in eight creeks of the Lake Sapanca basin during the studied period. 19 taxa increased their relative abundance higher than 30% in at least one sample and showed a different seasonal pattern. Environmental parameters [nitrate-nitrogen, orthophosphate, total phosphorus (TP), specific conductance, temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen] were effective on the distribution of diatom assemblages. The ecological status of the creeks was characterized by using four different diatom indices (TIT, EPI-D, IPS, and TDI), however, only Trophic Index Turkey (TIT) represented significant positive correlations with log (TP) gradient. Both environmental parameters, the relative abundance of indicator species, and TIT index results stated that 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 8th stations had moderate, while 4th and 6th stations had good water quality. The good correlation of TIT index with log (TP), and its compatibility with the presence of indicator species at different stations indicates that this index could be used in the Lake Sapanca basin, and Sakarya basin where the lake basin is located.
