In order to identify patterns in the enzymatic activity associated with variations in water quality and flow regime, the activity of the β-glucosidase and phosphatase enzymes, related to carbon and phosphorus metabolism, respectively, was measured in the water and biofilm. For this purpose, nine monitoring stations with different degrees of anthropic intervention were selected, which were evaluated during low, medium and high flow regimes associated with meteorological variability in the basin. The hypothesis was that the physicochemical profile, water quality and flow regime affect the activity of both enzymes, both in the water and in the biofilm, since they influence the concentration of nutrients transported by the river. According to the results obtained, no statistically significant differences were found in the enzymatic activity at low, medium and high flow rates, although a higher concentration of nutrients was observed at low and medium flow rates than at high flow rates. On the other hand, it was observed that the concentration of nutrients in the river changed according to the degree of urbanization in the basin, due to the discharge of wastewater from densely populated municipalities. The activity of both enzymes was higher in the stations with higher concentrations of nutrients, while in the monitoring stations located in the upper zone of the basin, where anthropic intervention and the concentration of nutrients was low, the lowest enzymatic activities were found both in the water and in the biofilm. In this regard, enzymatic activity can be used as an indicator of the health of the Aburrá-Medellín river and it is suggested that the measurement of this variable be included in the framework of the RedRío monitoring network.","PeriodicalId":51110,"journal":{"name":"Limnologica","volume":"35 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135410779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They exhibit complex limnological dynamics influenced by geomorphology, land use, atmospheric processes, and oceanic exchange. Although such shallow ecosystems are described as vertically homogeneous, sandbar breaching events can quickly modify the water column by promoting seawater intrusion, which is the primary driver of changes in water quality and ecological functioning in the short term. However, the duration of sandbar breaching effects on the vertical distribution of limnological variables was rarely evaluated. In this study, we investigated the impact of an episodic marine intrusion on the water column characteristics of Jurubatiba lagoon, a tropical coastal ecosystem, for 12 months following a sandbar breaching event to elucidate the duration of its effects. Marine intrusion resulted in salt wedges formation in the short-term, leading to stratification in dissolved oxygen, pH, salinity, and chlorophyll-a concentration along the water column for at least four months. However, rainfall and temperature also emerged as crucial factors driving vertical heterogeneity in limnological variables, influencing water density, pH, and turbidity throughout the study period. Wind speed had marginal effects on thermal stratification, probably due to the lagoon's orientation in the landscape. Our data unveiled that, despite their shallowness and wind exposure, coastal lagoons can exhibit significant vertical heterogeneity in limnological variables due to various climatic and hydrodynamic drivers. Notably, the effects of marine intrusions on salinity and ectogenic column stratifications can persist for several months, affecting water quality and, probably, biotic communities and ecosystem functioning. Once human activities and climate change may intensify marine intrusions on coastal lagoons, understanding these dynamics and their drivers is fundamental to anticipating their effects and conserving such vulnerable ecosystems.","PeriodicalId":51110,"journal":{"name":"Limnologica","volume":"2 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135371997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It employs various evaluation methods, including the single-factor assessment method, the Nemero comprehensive pollution scoring method, the comprehensive pollution index method, principal component analysis, and the Canadian water quality index method, to scrutinize the dynamic changes in reservoir water quality and assess the reservoir's nutrient status.The findings revealed the following key points:(1) The single-factor assessment method swiftly classified the water quality of the Deze Reservoir as Class V, primarily influenced by a single factor, total nitrogen.(2) Both the Nemero index method and comprehensive pollution index method provided a more comprehensive assessment of the Deze Reservoir's water quality. Considering additional parameters for evaluation resulted in more accurate water quality scores, aligning better with the criteria for water quality assessment. Specifically, the Nemero index method indicated that the majority of the water bodies in the Deze Reservoir exhibited poor quality, with an average score of 7.17. Results from the comprehensive pollution index method suggested that the water bodies in the Deze Reservoir generally experienced mild pollution, with total nitrogen being the primary contributing factor (classified as Class IV, according to the standard index.(3) Principal component analysis revealed that nitrate, phosphate, dissolved oxygen, and total nitrogen had significant loadings on the principal components, making them the primary factors influencing water quality in the Deze Reservoir. Calculating and ranking the comprehensive scores from the principal component analysis method made it evident that pollution levels in Hallzitang and Sanchakou were more severe compared to the rest of the reservoir area. (4) Results from the Canadian water quality index method demonstrated that water quality in the Deze Reservoir exhibited both spatial and temporal patterns. Initially, water quality tended to deteriorate, followed by gradual improvements over time. Interestingly, a positive feedback relationship was observed between water intake and water quality. In summary, the assessment results obtained from the five water quality evaluation methods consistently highlighted total nitrogen as a crucial indicator of water pollution in the Deze Reservoir. This association can primarily be attributed to agricultural non-point source pollution in upstream areas, nutrient runoff from nearby agricultural land, and surface runoff contributing to water nutrient levels. From both spatial and temporal perspectives, the dominant factor influencing the Deze Reservoir's water quality is the influx of total nitrogen pollution.","PeriodicalId":51110,"journal":{"name":"Limnologica","volume":"53 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135454975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both species are introduced and are the most abundant in the reservoir. They share the same food resources, with macrophytes being the primary component of their diet, especially for S. erythrophthalmus, Macrophytes accounting for 77.78% of its diet. The second most important prey category for both species is Arthropoda. Additionally, there are other prey categories such as Cyanobacteria, Microalgae, Nematoda, and Sand, but these are ingested by both species in lower proportions (%PV < 1.5). S. rubilio, outside its native area, maintains its feeding plasticity The study revealed some differences in the diet of the two species. For S. erythrophthalmus, variations in diet were observed among seasons, while for S. rubilio, variations were observed among different stations within the reservoir. Both species were found to have narrow niche breaths, indicating specialized feeding habits. Despite these variations, the diets of the two species showed significant overlap. The research highlights the feeding ecology of S. rubilio and S. erythrophthalmus outside their native range. This information can be valuable for developing future fishery management plans and biodiversity preservation strategies in Tunisian freshwater systems. Understanding the feeding preferences and interactions between these introduced species can aid in maintaining a balanced ecosystem and conserving the native species in the region. Considering that S. rubilio is categorized as near threatened, such knowledge becomes even more crucial for effective conservation efforts.","PeriodicalId":51110,"journal":{"name":"Limnologica","volume":"16 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135221334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to further explore the mechanism of hydrologic connectivity on lake eutrophication and effectively control lake eutrophication, this study selected Poyang Lake, Junshan Lake, Chi Lake, Taibo Lake and Yao Lake with different hydrological connectivity in Poyang Lake region as research objects. Comprehensive trophic level index (TLI) method was used to evaluate the eutrophication of lakes in different hydrological periods, and the influence of hydrological connectivity on eutrophication evaluation indexes and eutrophication state was analyzed on spatiotemporal scale. The results show that the change of hydrological period has little effect on the eutrophication of lakes, whether connected or obstructed. Except Yao Lake, which was in middle eutrophic state (60,70], the other four lakes were in light eutrophic state (50,60], which was consistent with the evaluation results of trophic status index (TSI). The eutrophication evaluation indexes of obstructed lakes were significantly different from those of rivers-connected lakes (p < 0.05), and the change of eutrophication evaluation index of obstructed lakes is more likely to be disturbed by human factors, while rivers-connected lakes are closely related to hydrological connectivity. At present, there is a risk of cyanobacteria bloom outbreak in Poyang Lake and its surrounding lakes. Therefore, this study suggests that strict control on point and non-point source pollution in the lake region and scientific and reasonable formulation of culture model will effectively prevent lake eutrophication and cyanobacteria bloom outbreak. This study is helpful to provide theoretical support for the study of the mechanism of lake eutrophication.","PeriodicalId":51110,"journal":{"name":"Limnologica","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135371999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
