Spatio-temporal variation of the zooplankton community in a tropical caldera lake with intensive aquaculture (Lake Taal, Philippines)

Abstract: Zooplankton were collected from LakeTaal between January and December 2008 in order to test for differences in species composition and abundance between a lake basin with intensive fish cage (FC) aquaculture and an open water area without FCs. Most species showed similar patterns of occurrence in both basins while having differences in abundance. Several rotifer species were more abundant in FC sites most of the year, while for microcrustaceans higher abundances in FC sites only happened during the first 2 mon… Show more

“…Juveniles form the majority of the samples (Fig. 2), suggesting that reproduction is continuous [13]. As an rstrategist, A. dorsalis is capable of producing a large number of fast developing eggs, with juveniles developing quickly as well when food is not a limiting factor [14].…”

“…Since Lake Taal is a tropical lake, there is a constant input of solar radiation in the water surface all year round. The potential influence of thermal vents as heat sources from below, make the thermocline a permanent feature, but its depth and position are highly variable [3,16].…”
