This study was carried out to understand the effects of addition of supplemental feed nutrients such as high protein (feed 1) and low protein (feed 2) diets on the natural food web in twelve tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) ponds at Dumuria of Khulna district, Bangladesh. During this study, water temperature ranged from 32.23 -32.61 o C and 32.29 -32.44 o C in case of feed 1 and feed 2 treated ponds respectively. On the other hand, salinity, pH and transparency were more or less stable and similar in both treatment ponds. In high protein supplemented feed 1 ponds, dissolved oxygen (DO) varied from 5.51 -5.68 mg/l and in low protein feed 2 ponds, DO varied from 5.53 to 5.67 mg/l. During this study period, 13 taxa of phytoplankton under six classes were recorded. Most dominated class was Coscinodicophyceae (42.02% in feed 1 and 42.26% in feed 2 ponds) whereas minimum quantity of phytoplankton belonged to the class Dianophyceae (1.86 and 2.17%). On the other hand, a total of 29 taxa of zooplankton under 3 groups were recorded. In ponds treated with feed 2 phytoplankton abundance was slightly higher than that of ponds treated with feed 1. Whereas, abundance of zooplankton was higher in ponds treated with feed 1 than in ponds fed with low protein feed 2. As phytoplankton is the important factor for the production of zooplankton and also for natural food web, any addition of feed was found to be improving nutrients and enhancing the natural productivity of tiger shrimp ponds.

“…Estuaries are usually non-isolated and highly tidal region with the change of all physicochemical parameters that influence the planktonic food sources for fishes found in tropical estuarine ecosystems (Harrison 2004;Hossain et al 2012;Saifullah et al 2014;Paturej et al 2017). Previously, Chew and Chong (2010); Rezai et al (2011); Lee (2012); Zaleha et al (2013); Zulikha et al (201)3; Kassim et al ( 2015); Matias-Peralta and Yusoff (2015); Musa and Singh (2015); Azmi et al (2016); Fatema and Omar (2016); Saidin (2016); Yong et al (2016); Kamaruzaman et al (2018) had documented the seasonal distribution of zooplankton from both the riverine and estuarine water of Malaysia. Although several studies have been undertaken in Peninsular Malaysia, a few zooplankton studies dealt in the estuarine and riverine habitats in east Malaysia (Jivaluk 1999;Johan et al 2013;Sinev and Yusoff 2015;Sinev and Yusoff 2018).…”

Abstract. Aiman WM, Yusoff FM, Arshad A, Kamal AHM, Ismail J, Idris MH, Karim NU, Asif AA. 2020. Distribution of zooplankton community in Toli shad (Tenualosa toli) habitats, Sarawak, Malaysia. Biodiversitas 21: 4022-4033. The river ecosystems of Sarawak has been identified as important-spawning ground for economically important Toli shad (Tenualosa toli) fisheries. In these river ecosystems, zooplankton serves as a secondary producer to the different types of fish larvae including Toli shad. The productivity and biomass of zooplankton are important factors to control the production of higher trophic level organisms like fish larvae and fishes in different stages including T. toli larvae. In this viewpoint, the composition and abundance of zooplankton were investigated at 5 (five) sampling stations (considered to be spawning and nursing areas of Toli shad) at Batang Lupar and Batang Sadong estuaries from July 2016 to June 2017. A total of 29 zooplankton taxa were recorded that belong to 14 major groups comprised of Copepoda (Arthropoda), Crustacean nauplii (Arthropoda), Fish larvae (Chordata), Mollusca (Mollusca), Luciferidae (Arthropoda), Cnidaria (Cnidaria), Ostracoda (Arthropoda), Cirripedia (Arthropoda), Polychaete larvae (Annelida), Chaetognatha (Chaetognatha), Appendicularia (Chordata), Amphipoda (Arthropoda), Echinodermata larvae (Echinodermata) and Cladoceran (Arthropoda). Copepod was dominant group of zooplankton (82.40-94.41%) at all stations, contributing 477.37-25921.89 ind/m3 and 88.38% of total abundance. The second highest was crustacean larvae (2.45-9.38%) in all stations, contributing 0-2391.7 ind/m3 and 5.88% of total abundance. Zooplankton abundance was higher at downstream station 1 (8460.72 ind/m³) followed by station 2 (5479.80 indi/m³), station 3 (4571.95 ind/m³), station 4 (4394.20 ind/m³) and upstream station 5 (4156.73 ind/m³). Canonical Correspondence Analysis showed that the abundance of copepods was highly influenced by total turbidity and nitrate in the riverine and estuarine ecosystems. Abundance of zooplankton was relatively higher (9549.31 ind/m³) during the post-monsoon and lower (3534.56 ind/m³) during the southwest monsoon.
