Abstract
JARAMILLO-LONDONO, Juan Carlos and AGUIRRE-RAMIREZ, Néstor Jaime. FLUCTUATION OF PLANKTON ASSEMBLAGES AT AYAPEL SWAMP IN CÓRDOBA (COLOMBIA) DURING A WEEKLY CYCLE. Rev. ing. univ. Medellín [online]. 2012, vol.11, n.21, pp.63-76. ISSN 1692-3324.
This research was intended to spatially and temporally evaluate phytoplankton and zooplankton assemblages on a daily basis during a weekly cycle, in six sampling stations at Ayapel swamp in Córdoba (Colombia), taking integrated samples of the water column. Both assemblages showed spatial differences and a high temporal homogeneity. Phytoplankton was dominated by cyanobacteria, specifically Cylindropermopsis raciborskii and Planktolyngbya limnetica; and zooplankton was dominated by Brachionus-genus rotifers..
Keywords : Phytoplankton; Zooplankton; Swamps; Colombia.
