These zooplankton samples and water samples were taken at 4 sites in the fish pond area (2 outside points in the river and 2 inside point in the fish pond). The results were recorded 76 zooplankton taxa which were belong to 28 genuses and 3 phylums (Protozoa, Rotifera and Arthropoda: Cladocera, Copepoda, Ostracoda). The Rotatoria phylum was dominated over 70% of species composition and 45% of individual density. The zooplankton communities in the outside were more diverse than those in the fish ponds. Besides, there was a significant difference between the individual density of the inside and outside ponds. The Shannon-Wiener diversity index showed that the water qualities were from lightly to moderately polluted at all points. Water of inside pond was polluted by organic materials, with the dominated by Brachionus genus. The Bray – Curtis similarity showed that the difference between zooplankton communities of inside and outside ponds was about 40%. Therefore, the fish pond water could affect natural water sources.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
