The response of phytoplankton, zooplankton and macrozoobenthos communities to change in the water supply from surface to groundwater in aquaculture ponds
, , , , , and
Phytoplankton, zooplankton and macrozoobenthos were used to assess effects of altering water supply from surface to groundwater in ponds.
Our study revealed that increased conductivity led to decrease in abundance and diversity especially in zooplankton. Phytoplankton showed capability to accommodate to new conditions while macrozoobenthos was relatively tolerant.
