“…Dissolved oxygen is an extremely important parameter for maintaining life throughout the aquatic environment (Banaduc et al 2016;Coops et al 2008;Navodaru et al 2001Navodaru et al , 2005. Water quality and the influence of the physicochemical parameters on the biota has determined most recent studies to also consider isolated lakes which are not of any particular economic importance but are individualized as biodiversity islands (Anton et al 2008;Barbulescu 2015;Borowiak 2014;Cudowski et al 2013;Gadzinowska 2013;Kundrat et al 2016;Marszelewski et al 2017;Merecki et al 2015;Mihu-Pintilie et al 2014;Pantea et al 2017;Pasztaleniec et al 2013;Petrovici et al 2010;Puri et al 2010;Romanescu 2003Romanescu , 2006Rzymski et al 2017;Sevian et al 2015;Sundri 2015;Ureche et al 2012;Wrzesinski et al 2015;Wu et al 2013).…”

Lake Erenciuc is situated in the Danube Delta (Romania) and was created in the abandoned riverbed of the Sfântu Gheorghe arm. It is the largest meander lake in Romania. During spring–summer, the physico-chemical parameters of water have been measured in seven lake sampling points and one at the Sfântu Gheorghe branch, which supplies the lake through Erenciuc channel. The area around Lake Erenciuc belongs to the category of strictly protected areas within the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve. The following water quality parameters were measured: temperature (T: °C); pH (pH units); Luminescent Dissolved Oxygen (LDO: mg dm−3); Dissolved Oxygen saturation (DO: %); water tension (U: mV); Electrical Conductivity (EC: μS cm−1); Total Dissolved Solids concentration (TDS: mg dm−3). The recorded values are easily differentiated across the entire length of the elongated lake path, especially between inflow (upstream) and outflow (downstream). The parameters recorded during the spring–summer period, with high flow rates and high water levels, demonstrate good lake water quality, especially oxygenation. The study also demonstrates that high waters refresh and recalibrate the water quality in isolated lake basins.

“…The most abundant populations were represented by common pelagic species with a broad spectrum of tolerance for environmental conditions: Polyarthra longiremis , Filinia longiseta , Keratella valga and Ascomorpha spp. These taxa are often listed as dominants in artificial reservoirs located in post‐industrial areas or in reservoirs fed with post‐mining waters (Balvert, Duggan, & Hogg, ; Bielańska‐Grajner & Gładysz, ; Marszelewski, Dembowska, Napiórkowski, & Solarczyk, ; Pociecha et al, ). In addition to eurytopic rotifers, the study reservoirs were colonised by numerous populations of Asplanchna priodonta , Brachionus angularis , Trichocerca pusilla , Polyarthra vulgaris , Eubosmina longirostris and Daphnia cucullata.…”

The use of artificial water bodies for angling is a popular practice, especially in industrial and urbanised areas where natural water bodies are lost. In this study, the zooplankton structure dynamics and water quality at three strip mine drainage system reservoirs were assessed with different types of recreational fishery exploitation: K1—intensive angling using the catch‐and‐release model, K2—lowest angling pressure and higher share of predatory fishes and K3—moderate fishing, that is limiting groundbait quantities and eliminating non‐predatory fishes by anglers. The null hypothesis tested was that recreational fishing does not affect the biotic and abiotic conditions of reservoirs. The significance of each environmental variable was tested using redundancy analysis (RDA). The highest nutrients and chlorophyll a concentration, turbidity level and organic matter content occurred in K1. Zooplankton diversity was the lowest under these conditions; protozoa and larval stages of copepods dominated. In reservoirs where sustainable fishing was implemented (K2, K3), trophic parameters of water were lower, on average, by 25%, turbidity by 30%, and productivity by 35–70%. Zooplankton diversity was significantly higher; rotifers and small cladocerans dominated. The choice of recreational fishing model determines the functionality and biological potential of the reservoir.

“…4 and 5). These common pelagic species are most often identified in the Rotifera composition of artificial waters bodies (Balvert et al, 2009;Bielańska-Grajner and Gładysz, 2010;Mallo et al, 2010;Skowronek et al, 2012;Marszelewski et al, 2017;Pociecha et al, 2017). They are also thought to be indicative of water eutrophication (Ejsmont-Karabin, 2012).…”

“…Zooplankton species composition and quantitative parameters reflect ongoing phenomena and processes in water bodies (Dodson et al, 2007;Rönicke et al, 2010, Goździejewska andTucholski, 2011). For this reason, zooplankton communities are useful in comparative investigations, the bioindication of water ecosystems, and in predicting environmental status (Boix et al, 2008;Ejsmont-Karabin, 2012Marszelewski et al, 2017).…”

The aim of this study was to determine the structure of zooplankton in three artificial water reservoirs, the technological function of which is to pre-treat waters from a drainage system of a brown coal open mine by removing inorganic suspension. The background for the zooplankton qualitative and quantitative analyses was the hydrochemical conditions in the individual reservoirs. The greatest zooplankton abundance (N), number of taxa (n), Shannon’s diversity (H'), and species eveness (J') was noted in reservoir Chabielice (Nmean = 1311 ind. L−1, n = 26, H' = 2.09, J' = 0.64) which was dominated by eurytopic Rotifera species (Keratella cochlearis,Keratella tecta,Keratella valga,Polyarthra longiremis,Filinia longiseta). Their abundance was positively correlated with water pH and nutrient concentrations. Reservoir Kamień was characterized by the highest mean values of total suspension (9.6 mg L−1), chlorophyll a (Chl a) content (10.4 μg L−1), and water temperature (20.0 °C). These factors significantly correlated with crustacean biomass. The thermal-oxygenation conditions, low trophic level, and low productivity of the water (Chl a = 5.4 μg L−1) in reservoir Północny determined the overall low zooplankton abundance (Nmean = 153 ind. L−1). Artificial water bodies of opencast mine drainage systems are biologically unstable, but they do have some characteristics of natural ecosystems, and they do take over their functions. Zooplankton is an indicator of their ecological functionality. Knowledge gained about such reservoirs could contribute to decision-making about strategies for water reclamation and how to manage it.
