Community Structure Of Macrobenthos Of A Southeast Texas Sand-Pit Lake Related To Water Temperature, Ph And Dissolved Oxygen Concentration, Kemal Çeli̇k
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Water temperature (°C), pH, dissolved oxygen concentration (mg/l) and the community structure of the macrobenthos of a small southeast Texas sand-pit (Barry's) lake were studied from June 1995 to February 1996, which covered climatic extremes. The lake was a warm monomictic lake and no anoxic conditions were observed at any depth during the entire study period. A total of 50 taxa and 5614 individuals of macrobenthos were collected. The dominant organisms were Chaoborus punctipennis (Say), Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri (Claparede), and Dero obtusa (Udekem). The only established populations at 6.5 m were Chaoborus punctipennis, Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri, and Chironomus sp. Species diversity ranged …

The Effects Of Phytoplankton Concentration, Size Of Mussel And Water Temperature On Feed Consumption And Filtration Rate Of The Mediterranean Mussel (Mytilus Galloprovincialis Lmk), İbrahi̇m Okumuş, Nadi̇r Başçinar, Mükerrem Özkan
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The effects of phytoplankton concentration, size and water temperature on the feeding rate of the Mediterranean mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) from the Black Sea were investigated in the laboratory within a static system. Overall consumption (total cell/h) was significantly higher at the highest phytoplankton concentrations than at the lowest concentration (p
