ABSTRACT
Non-treated sewage disposal is one of the main impacts to which Imboassica Lagoon has been subjected. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a potential increase in the artificial enrichment on the environmental conditions and zooplankton of this system. To this end, an experimental study was conducted in mesocosms where nutrients were added daily. Bacterial numbers, chlorophyll-a, and picoplanktonic cyanobacteria densities showed an increase with the availability of nutrients. Bacterio- and phytoplankton seemed to be regulated by the rotifers Brachionus rotundiformis and Hexarthra brandorffi.
RESUMO
O despejo de esgoto não tratado é um dos principais impactos aos quais a Lagoa Imboassica está submetida. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito de um aumento potencial no enriquecimento artificial das condições ambientais e do zooplâncton desse sistema. Para tanto, foi realizado estudo experimental em mesocosmos aos quais foram adicionados nutrientes diariamente. O número de bactérias e de cianobactérias picoplanctônicas e a clorofila-a apresentaram aumento com a disponibilidade de nutrientes. Bacterio- e fitoplâncton parecem ter sido regulados pelos rotíferos Brachionus rotundiformis e Hexarthra brandorffi.
