The objective of this study was to characterize the limnological, microystin and phytoplankton community of five tropical eutrophic reservoirs located in the Brazilian northeastern semi-arid region, used for domestic use at the time of extreme drought and reduction of water volume. The study was conducted in July and August 2015, and an integrated sample of the water column was collected at three points near the dam in each reservoir. Analysis of limnological parameters, identification and quantification of phytoplankton, with emphasis on cyanobacteria were performed, as well as detection of microcystin by means of immunoassay (ELISA). The reservoirs presented ~ 90% water volume reduction. High turbidity and concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus, as well as high cyanobacterial densities, revealed an increase in the eutrophic state for hypereutrophy. The total biovolume of phytoplankton and cyanobacterial density is high, plus an average increase in relation to previous studies of 350% and 150%, respectively. The density of cyanobacteria and microcystin concentration presented values above acceptable levels for drinking water according to Brazilian legislation. A phytoplankton community was represented by 17 functional groups, including potentially toxic cyanobacteria species such as Planktothrix agardhii (S1), Microcystis aeruginosa (M), Anabaena planktonica e Anabaena spp. (H1), Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii (Sn). Our results confirm that conditions of extreme drought and reduction of the volume of the reservoirs influence the composition, biovolume of phytoplankton and water quality, but not the increase of total microcystin in the analysed, although above 1μg-1 registered a significant decrease of water quality in used for human consumption. Resumo O objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar a comunidade limnológica, microistalina e fitoplanctônica de cinco reservatórios eutróficos tropicais localizados no semi-árido nordestino brasileiro, utilizados para uso doméstico no período de seca extrema e redução do volume de água. O estudo foi realizado em julho e agosto de 2015, e uma amostra integrada da coluna de água foi coletada em três pontos próximos à barragem em cada reservatório. Análises de parâmetros limnológicos, identificação e quantificação do fitoplâncton, com ênfase em cianobactérias, foram realizadas, assim como a detecção de microcistina por meio de imunoensaio (ELISA). Os reservatórios apresentaram ~ 90% de redução do volume de água. A alta turbidez e as concentrações de nitrogênio e fósforo, bem como as altas densidades de cianobactérias, revelaram um aumento no estado eutrófico da hipereutrofia. O biovolume total de fitoplâncton e densidade de cianobactérias é alto, além de um aumento médio em relação a estudos anteriores de 350% e 150%, respectivamente. A densidade de cianobactérias e a concentração de microcistina apresentaram valores acima dos níveis aceitáveis para água de consumo, de acordo com a legislação brasileira. Uma comunidade fitoplanctônica foi representada por 17 grupos funcionais, incluindo espécies de cianobactérias potencialmente tóxicas, como Planktothrix agardhii (S1), Microcystis aeruginosa (M), Anabaena planktonica e Anabaena spp. (H1), Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii (Sn). Nossos resultados confirmam que condições de seca extrema e redução do volume dos reservatórios influenciam a composição, o biovolume de fitoplâncton e a qualidade da água, mas não o aumento do total de microcistina no analisado, embora acima de 1μg-1 tenha registrado uma diminuição significativa da qualidade da água usado para consumo humano.

The reproduction of two species of Cichla (Cichla cf. ocellaris and C. monoculus, commonly known in Brazil as tucunaré) introduced in the Volta Grande Reservoir, southeastern Brazil, was analyzed. The period for spawning began at the end of the dry season (September) and extended until the end of the rainy season (January). The length of the first gonad maturation (L50) and the length at which all fish are considered adults (L100) were very similar for both species and coincide with the length of fish at one year of age. The analysis of disassociated oocytes evidenced a partitioned spawning, and that C. monoculus was more prolific than C. cf. ocellaris. The low fecundity, partitioned spawning, bi-parental brood care, and supplying of food for the young are related to the way of life, habitat, and reproductive behavior of these fish.Foi analisada a reprodução das espécies de tucunarés (Cichla cf. ocellaris e Cichla monoculus) introduzidas no reservatório de Volta Grande, Sudeste do Brasil. A época das desovas teve início no final do período de seca (setembro) e estendeu-se até o final do período chuvoso (janeiro). O comprimento da primeira maturação gonadal (L50) e o comprimento a partir do qual os peixes dessas espécies são considerados adultos (L100) foram muito próximos e coincidem com os comprimentos de peixes com um ano de vida. A análise dos ovócitos dissociados evidenciou a desova parcelada, sendo C. monoculus mais prolífico do que C. cf. ocellaris. A baixa fecundidade, a desova parcelada, o cuidado biparental e o suprimento de alimento para os jovens estão relacionados ao modo de vida, ao habitat e ao comportamento reprodutivo desses peixes.

For evaluating the trophic relationship between early life stages of fish and zooplankton in Lake Monte Alegre, fish distribution and feeding habits have been studied in areas with and without macrophytes. In the first of these areas, 356 specimens belonging to 8 species, mostly juveniles, were caught by a sieve. Another 35 specimens, belonging to 4 species, were caught by gill nets and seine in areas lacking macrophytes. Their diets were composed of aquatic insects, microcrustaceans, rotifers, detritus, and other aquatic invertebrates. Microcrustacean prey were mainly littoral or benthic dwellers, found in the highest proportion in specimens of 7-20 mm SL. Most fish species have parental care, which could explain the absence of planktonic larvae. Early life stages of fish do not exert a predation pressure on the lake zooplankton.Para avaliar a relação trófica entre as fases jovens de peixes e o zooplâncton no Lago Monte Alegre, a distribuição e os hábitos alimentares dos peixes foram estudados em áreas com e sem macrófitas. Nas macrófitas, foram capturados com peneira 356 exemplares de 8 espécies, na maioria jovens. Outros 35 exemplares de 4 espécies foram capturados em áreas sem macrófitas, com redes de espera e arrasto. A dieta dos peixes foi composta de insetos aquáticos, microcrustáceos, rotíferos, detritos e outros invertebrados aquáticos. Os microcrustáceos predados foram principalmente formas litorâneas ou bentônicas, consumidos em maior proporção pelos espécimens de 7-20 mm CP. A maioria das espécies apresenta cuidado parental, o que explica a ausência de larvas planctônicas. As fases jovens de peixes não representam uma força de predação sobre o zooplâncton.

The aim of this study was to assess the major food items ingested by adult specimens of Daphnia laevis within the eutrophic Pampulha reservoir in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The gut content was analyzed after addition of sodium hypochlorite and also through the examination of dissected guts under scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that Chlorophyceae was the main food item ingested, representing c. 80.5% of the total ingested food. Moreover, Eutetramorus fottii, Coelastrum pseudomicroporum and Oocystis lacustris, the dominant phytoplankton species within the reservoir, were the most frequent cells found in the gut contents. Euglenophyta also represented an important food item accounting for 15% of the ingested material, including mainly Trachelomonas volvocina and Euglena oxyuris, although less abundant in the reservoir (< 10% of total phytoplankton). Blue-green algae occurred at much lower percentages in the guts than in the phytoplankton. A small amount of undigested Microcystis aeruginosa colonies were also found in the gut content of D. laevis. Scanning electron microscopy results showed that, besides phytoplankton cells, a great amount of abiogenic material was also ingested. The amount of this inorganic material increased considerably in the tract (from 15% to 75% of the gut content), when a peak of D. laevis was observed in the reservoir. Our assumption is that the ingestion of this inorganic material can be a strategy used by D. laevis to obtain additional food supply. Com o objetivo de verificar a composição dos itens alimentares utilizados por Daphnia laevis no reservatório eutrofizado da Pampulha (Belo Horizonte, MG), foi analisado o conteúdo do trato digestivo de indivíduos adultos, por intermédio das técnicas de clarificação e microscopia eletrônica de varredura. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que Chlorophyceae foi o principal item alimentar ingerido por Daphnia laevis (80,5%). As espécies mais freqüentes no trato digestivo foram: Eutetramorus fottii, Coelastrum pseudomicroporum e Oocystis lacustris, que corresponderam às mais abundantes no reservatório. Euglenophyta também representou importante item alimentar (15%), especialmente Trachelomonas volvocina e Euglena oxyuris, embora tenham apresentado abundância reduzida no ambiente (< 10% do fitoplâncton total). Cyanophyceae esteve praticamente ausente no trato digestivo, tendo sido encontrada apenas pequena quantidade de colônias não digeridas de Microcystis aeruginosa. Os resultados obtidos na microscopia eletrônica de varredura mostraram, além do fitoplâncton, a presença de material abiogênico. A participação desse material inorgânico no tubo digestivo aumentou consideravelmente (de 15% para 75% de preenchimento do trato digestivo) quando um pico de D. laevis foi observado no reservatório. Os resultados obtidos sugerem que a ingestão de material abiogênico parece ser uma estratégia na captação de recursos alimentares adicionais.
