          Abstract

          En la zona fótica del embalse Riogrande II se analizó la distribución de la biomasa zooplanctónica en las escalas espacial (longitudinal - vertical) y temporal en función de los gradientes de estado trófico, de biomasa algal y de la precipitación. Los cladóceros dominaron la biomasa, debido a la alta contribución de Bosmina freyi, seguidos de los copépodos y rotíferos. La biomasa de especies de microcrustáceos se asoció a la estación de muestreo eutrófica y de mayor biomasa algal, mientras que la biomasa de especies de rotíferos estuvo ligada a las estaciones de menor estado trófico. La mayor biomasa de microcrustáceos fue en la temporada de mayor estado trófico y la de rotíferos en la de mayor precipitación. En el gradiente vertical, la menor biomasa de todos los grupos fue en subsuperficie, zona que tendió a ser evitada por la mayoría de especies, durante los periodos de muestreo. La expresión de biomasa zooplanctónica en el eje longitudinal y en la escala temporal, respondió principalmente al gradiente de estado trófico y de biomasa algal, y en el eje vertical posiblemente a depredación. Aunque esta respuesta no dependió del hábito trófico de las especies, probablemente por la oferta trófica diversa del embalse y por la plasticidad alimenticia de las especies, sí fue diferente entre microcrustáceos y rotíferos.

          The distribution of the zooplankton biomass in the spatial (longitudinal- vertical) and temporal scales based on the gradients of trophic status, algae biomass and the rainfall was analyzed in the photic zone of the reservoir Riogrande II. Cladocerans dominated the biomass due to the large contribution of Bosmina freyi, followed by copepods and rotifers. Biomass of species of microcrustaceans was associated to the most eutrophic sampling station related to highest algae biomass, whereas biomass of species of rotifers was linked to stations of lower trophic status. Highest biomass of microcrustacean was in the season of greatest trophic status whereas highest biomass of rotifer was related to the strongest rainfall season. In the vertical gradient, lowest biomass of all groups occurred in the subsurface. This zone tended to be avoided by most species during the sampling seasons. The expression of zooplankton biomass in the longitudinal axis and the temporal scale mainly responded to the gradient of trophic status and algae biomass, and in the vertical axis possibly responded to predation. Although, this response did not depend on the trophic habit of the species probably due to the diverse trophic offer of the reservoir and the alimentary plasticity of these species, it was clearly different between microcrustaceans and rotifers.

            The dry weight estimate of biomass in a selection of Cladocera, Copepoda and Rotifera from the plankton, periphyton and benthos of continental waters

            A procedure for determining dry weights has been standardized and applied to a number of Cladocera, Copepoda and Rotatoria. In most of the Cladocera, regression equations of the exponential type, relating dry weight to body length, were computed. In the Copepoda, one equation per suborder was computed, and suggestions for future refinements are made. In both groups, a fairly satisfactory agreement was found with literature data where these exist. In both groups, the egg and embryo weight proved to be considerable, relative to the weight of the adult female. In Rotatoria, 4 species could be dealt with in size-classes, and their weight increment per unit length was found to be lower than in the Cladocera and Copepoda. A large number of species were weighed as adults only. A conclusion applicable to the 3 groups is that, as a rule, limnetic species weigh relatively less than littoral, periphytic or benthic species. Even within a species, populations with a more pronounced limnetic way of life weigh less than populations of littoral nature.
