“…For example, the concentration of zooplankton (copepods, polychaetes, protozoans, barnacles, gastropods, ciliatea, hydrozoans, and others) ranged from 124 org/L to 309 org/L, where the copepods (83%) were the most abundant organisms in ponds with organic substrates and fertilization, followed by polychaetes (5%), barnacles (5%), protozoans (3%), ciliate (2%), gastropods (1%), and others (1%) [73]. In the ponds supplied with surface water/groundwater, the biomass of Rotatoria, Cladocera, and Copepoda across the seasons was 14.1-10466 ind./L, 1.7-691 ind./L, and 369-889 ind./L, respectively [40]. Furthermore, Rotifera and Cladocera sharply declined in biomass and abundance (66% of species disappeared) when the ponds changed from surface water to groundwater [40].…”
