Occurrence and Spatial Distribution of Brachionus Species: A Bioindicator of Eutrophication in Bhoj Wetland, Bhopal
Journal Title: Ecologia Balkanica - Year 2014, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of this study conducted during 2008-2009 was to explore the impact of water quality on Brachionus species in littoral zone of Bhoj wetland as they are particularly sensitive to changes in water quality. Since Brachionus species are usually considered to be useful indicators of water quality their community structure not only allows estimates of the level of pollution but also indicate the trend of general conditions over time. In the present investigation seven species viz., Brachionus caudatus, Br. falcatus, Br. calyciflorus, Br. angularis, Br. forficula, Br. quadridentata and Br. urceus were recorded in the wetland.
