“…Our investigation revealed that the total biomass of phytoplankton peaked in spring and hit its lowest point in summer, aligning with findings from the Daning River findings ( Zhu et al, 2013). Fasham et al (1990) and Shumka et al (2018) suggested that increased nutrient concentrations result in a higher abundance of planktonic organisms, serving as the primary driver for dynamic changes in phytoplankton community structure (Tilman et al, 1982).

Muling River, situated amidst cultivated lands in Heilongjiang Province, northeastern China, has long been subjected to sand‐digging activities, resulting in severe damage to its riverbed. However, little research has been conducted on the impact of this disturbance on the status of fish community structure and trophic guilds in this river. In this study, environmental factors, fish community structure, and fish trophic guild biomass distribution patterns from the Muling River basin were investigated among seasons (spring, summer, and autumn) and sections (upper, middle, and lower stream) in 2015 and 2017. During the six sampling times periods, 46 species of five orders and 12 families of fish were classified into seven trophic guilds. Fish species number and biomass were higher upper reaches of the watershed. The insectivores (16.26%), phytoplanktivores (10.09%), benthivores (40.17%), and omnivores (11.86%) were the dominant trophic guilds. We found that fish trophic guilds biomass and environmental factors such as transparency, water depth, pH value, total phosphorus, and chemical oxygen demand were highest in the upper section compared to other sections. Variation partitioning revealed that fish trophic guilds biomass was influenced more by environmental factors (61.2%), followed by section (0.7%) and season (0.1%). Partial RDA ordination showed that fish trophic guilds were positively correlated with water depth and transparency, while negative with turbidity. This study underscores the importance of considering trophic guilds of freshwater fishes to inform management strategies in regions experiencing significant environmental change.

“…On the other hand, this present study showing that nitrogen and phosphorus can usually be considered the main limiting nutrient (Fasham et al, 1990;Shumka et al, 2018). While in our study, both Spearman correlation and RDA results showing that the zooplankton functional groups were not affected by TN, TP and N:P ratio in Tuanjie Reservoir (Table 5; Fig.…”

In this study, the concept of functional feeding groups was used to classify zooplankton community into functional groups among three seasons (spring, summer and autumn). A total of 30 zooplankton species were sampled in the Tuanjie Reservoir and identified into seven functional groups. Environmental factors and zooplankton functional group biomass were both varied in spatially and seasonally. Water transparency (SD), dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, N:P and dissolved iron (Fe 3+ ) were higher in autumn while total phosphorus (TP), chemical oxygen demand (CODMn) and dissolved copper (Cu 2+ ) were higher in spring, and temperature (T) and ammonium nitrogen (NH4 + -N) were higher in summer. Zooplankton functional groups biomass was higher in summer, followed by spring and autumn. In spring, zooplankton functional group only dominated by group PF, while in summer and autumn dominated by group PF and RF. Spearman and RDA results showed that SD, conductivity (COND), DO, NH4 + -N, nitrate nitrogen (NO3 --N) and CODMn were the major factors influencing zooplankton functional groups in Tuanjie Reservoir.

“…In zooplankton diversity rotifer share 80% (120 species), while distinctly lower contributed Cladocera and Copepoda, 16% and 6%, 25 and 16 species, respectively (Table 2.2). Many species recorded in this survey as limited to specific region, are previously recorded across the studied region, but probably in different seasons and/or different localities [7,35,[43][44][45][46][47][48].…”
