Species composition diversity of aquatic insects in the Binh Hung Hoa biological pond system

Abstract

This study surveyed and analyzed samples of aquatic insects at 10 pondst Binh Hung Hoa biological system on March and August in 2015. The results recorded 31 species belonging to 24 families, 6 orders, include Coleoptera, Diptera, Odonata, Hemiptera, Ephemeroptera and Trichoptera. In particular, the larvae of theory derdiptera had the best diversity of composition, wise distribution and high density. However, the larvae of t h e order ephemeroptera and order trichoptera had the least diversity and low level of density and distribution at maturation ponds. Among ponds, the diversity and density of aerobic pond and sedimentation pond were high while the maturation ponds were low. The composition of aquatic insects had high similarity in the same function ponds and low similarity in the different function ponds. The species composition diversity and abundance of aquatic insects were the highest in the sedimentation pond and lowest in the other ponds. In the rainy season, the species composition diversity of aquatic insects were higher than those in the dry season.
