“…Any change in environmental conditions requires organisms to develop acclimation mechanisms [23][24][25]. Acclimation to different temperature or irradiance levels is closely related to organisms' ability to regulate and use excess energy [24,26].…”

“…Smolyakov et al (2010a) observed that Zn and Cd in waters may cause a severe decrease in phytoplankton activity. The results of mesocosm experiments, however, also showed that the reproduction of phytoplankton organisms can increase after the initial period of inhibition due to the development of tolerant species, and the prolonged contamination of the reservoir did not necessarily lead to decreases in phytoplankton reproduction (Smolyakov et al 2010b). Other observations confirm that the presence of high concentrations of Cu, Zn and Mn in water may induce rather than inhibit the intensive algae growth (Pasternak 1971;Ligęza, Wilk-Woźniak 2011).…”

This investigation focused on plankton inhabiting fishponds, which previously received mine waters from the lead-zinc mine 'Matylda', located in southern Poland (Upper Silesia). The purpose of the investigation was to study the effects of chronic and persistent contamination of fishpond bottom sediments with heavy metals originated from the lead and zinc mine. The phytoand zooplankton in the four fishponds were dominated by diatoms, green algae and rotifers. Plankton composition of the reference non-contaminated pond was different, since Chrysophytes dominated, and Copepoda were the most numerous among zooplankton. In the contaminated fishponds, we observed teratological forms, both for phyto-and zooplankton species, but only as individuals. Our results showed that planktonic communities had adapted to chronic and persistent heavy metal contamination.

“…A certain amount of these elements are necessary for biotope in nature. However, some of them are toxic to living organisms, such as As, Cd, Cr, Hg, and Pb, even at quite low concentrations, while others like Cu, Fe, Se, and Zn are biologically essential and natural constituents and only become toxic at very high concentrations [4][5][6][7].…”

“…Phytoplankton are known to be the primary producers in aquatic environments and are represented at the bottom level of the food chain. Also, they are able to adsorb and assimilate metals from their aqueous environment [6]. Thus, the amount and diversity of phytoplankton in a water body reflects the average ecological condition and therefore, may be used as an indicator of water quality.…”

A B S T R A C TIn this study, the water quality and heavy metal pollution status of Riva Stream which is related to Ö merli Dam Lake, one of the water resources of Istanbul (Turkey), was determined. For this purpose, some physicochemical parameters, phytoplankton compositions, some nutrient, and heavy metal concentrations in the surface water of Riva Stream were investigated. Samples were collected at six sampling sites in the course of the stream in February 2012 and May 2012. A total of 19 taxa, belonging to five divisions, were identified. The phytoplankton density varied from 47 to 264 ind./cm 3 ; chlorophyll-a contents varied between 1.52 and 1.83 mg/m 3 . Measured concentrations of heavy metals and nutrients showed difference related to sampling points. As a result of measurements, the lowest and highest heavy metal and mineral nutrient concentrations of measured water samples were as follows: Al (617.40-1094.16 μg/L), B (1010.40-5736.00 μg/L), Ca (1015.80-1925.40 mg/L), Cd (1.45-5.22 μg/L), Cr (61.26-164.16 μg/L), Cu (35.04-372.66 μg/L), Fe (28.50-369.06 μg/L), K (179.10-1314.60 mg/L), Mg (202.68-1755.60 mg/L), Na (669.00-1553.40 mg/L), Ni (40.62-269.70 μg/L), Pb (6.48-76.86 μg/L), and Zn (429.18-990.60 μg/L).It was observed that Riva Stream is highly polluted by some heavy metals, and a number of heavy metal resistant/tolerant phytoplankton species are present in the stream. Pearson's correlation and Spearman rank correlation analyses were applied to examine the relationship between Al, B,
