Abstract
Morphologic alterations in the Cladocera population are crucial indicators of aquatic toxicity. This study describes deformities in Bosmina freyi sampled from three shallow urban reservoirs. Each reservoir was sampled monthly from May/2019 to April/2020. The specimens were separated and quantified, and the deformations on sensorial and swimming structures were photographed and drawn. Larger proportions of abnormal organisms were registered when the reservoirs had a high volume reduction and sediment resuspension.
