Zooplankton assemblages in eutrophic reservoirs of the Brazilian semi-arid Assembléias zooplanctônicas em reservatórios eutróficos do semiárido brasileiro

Species composition, density, and temporal dynamics of zooplankton were studied in six reservoirs in a semi-arid region in tropical northeastern Brazil (Rio Grande do Norte state). All the reservoirs are highly eutrophic, with high contents of total nitrogen (minimum of 1200 µg.L-1) and total phosph...
