Abstract: The plankton was examined as an indicator of water quality in 14 shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei farms in Brazil in 2003. The ponds were categorized by high stocking density (>30 PL m(-2)) of phytoplankton, consisting of 51 species with concentrations ranging from 365,218+/-416,615 cells mL(-1) to 1,961,675+/-3,160,172 cells mL(-1). Diatoms contributed to almost 70% of the species number and high densities resulted from Cyanophyta blooms, mainly Pseudanabaena cf limnetica. Forty zooplankton taxa were registered an… Show more

“…The ciliates are sensitive to environmental alterations, and their community fluctuations can affect the food web and the energy transfer (CHEN et al, 2009). The zooplankton is a group of organisms that can also be used as biological indicators, once they respond to low dissolved oxygen, high nutrient levels and toxic contaminants (CASÉ et al, 2008). In the Patos Lagoon, the protozooplankton is comprised of flagellates, dinoflagellates and ciliates (ABREU; ODEBRECHT, 1998).…”

“…In the present study, rotifers and copepods configured the main bulk of zooplankton community and they figured together 95.9% to the total zooplankton numbers. Many authors found that rotifers and copepods configured the main bulk of zooplankton communities in marine (Case et al, 2008) or freshwater ecosystem (Ssanyu et al, 2011), regardless to the type of cultured water, cultured fish, water quality and geographical location. However, the structure and functioning of the zooplankton community, regarding to species compositions and densities of each species, are affected by several factors, such as (1) water quality aspects, (2) nutrient limitation, (3) phytoplankton (availability, species and community structure) and (4) predator types and densities (Tavares et al, 2010 andSsanyu et al, 2011).…”

“…Moreover, decomposition of organic matter produces ammonia, which diffuses from sediment to the water column. Consequentially, nutrient availability is easily incorporated into the plankton (mainly phytoplankton and sequentially zooplankton) community (Case et al, 2008), productivity (Chib, Masud, & Proch, 2015), biochemical composition (Mitra, Mukhopadhyay, & Ayyappan, 2007) and ultimately into the fish biomass (Tavares, Millan, & Santeiro, 2010). Zooplankton takes a central position between the autotrophs and other heterotrophs maintaining an essential link in the food chain sustainability.…”

“…Apesar das limitações, o uso da biomassa de fitoplânc-ton como um indicador para avaliar os possíveis impactos causados por efluentes de viveiros de carcinicultura tem sido praticado e aperfeiçoado (CASÉ et al, 2008). Estudos apontam que é importante identificar a composição de espécies de fitoplânctons e suas relações de dominância entre espécies, já que há uma dinâmi-ca contínua de mudanças de fatores de crescimento, como luz, temperatura e concentrações de nutrientes, em um ambiente de cultivo (GOLDMAN & MANN, 1980;YUSOFF et al, 2002).…”
