計畫資料
This work was part of research and monitoring studies done in predetermined sites and localities of Lake Victoria and Nabugabo. The results generally indicated zooplankton community comprised of majorly three broad taxa groups; Copepoda, Cladocera and Rotifera (Mwebaza-Ndawula et al., 2004). The data presented provide useful basis for tracking community changes in comparison with observations form earlier studies (Rzoska (1957; Stuhlmann, 1888), Weltner, 1897; Mrazek, 1895; Daday, 1907; Verestchagin, 1915; Delachaux, 1917; Worthington, 1931). These earlier works provided the first quantitative account of the zooplankton on Lake Victoria. The current data show changes from the bigger Calanoida and Cladocera to the smaller cyclopoid copepods (Mwebaza-Ndawula, 1994) attributed to the changes in limnological conditions during the present century, which seem to be driven primarily by changes in nutrient input and regional climate (Waya & Mwambugu, 2004).
| 計畫名稱 | Zooplankton occurrences and community structure in Lakes Victoria and Nabugabo |

| 研究區域描述 | The study area was mainly the Northern part of Lake Victoria (Ugandan portion) with very few sites on the Tanzanian portion and Lake Nabugabo. |
| 研究設計描述 | The lake wide Northern portion of Lake Victoria was investigated between 1992 and 2012. Study areas represent a wider habitat based on the depth profile and distances from shoreline. |

取樣方法
Zooplankton samples were collected with a conical plankton net (Nansen type; mesh size 60 µm; mouth diameter 0.25 m), towed vertically through the water column, as described by Mwebaza-Ndawula (1994). Each sample was washed with tap water in the laboratory over a 53 µm sieve to remove the preservative and then diluted to a suitable volume, depending on the concentration of organisms in each sample. Sub-samples of 2, 2, 5 and 10 mL were taken with a wide bore automatic pipette from a well agitated sample. The sub-sample series were performed to consider the more abundant organisms in 2, 2 mL series, and the rarer organisms in 2, 2, 5, 10 mL series. Each sub-sample was put into a counting chamber and examined under inverted microscope (Hund, Wetzlar, Germany) at X100 magnification for taxonomic determination, and X40 for counting and organism body measurements.
| 研究範圍 | Sampling was conducted from 1992-98, 2000-06, 2008 and 2012 and was done majorly in northern Lake Victoria, including some parts of southern portion (Tanzania) and Lake Nabugabo. |
|---|---|
| 品質控管 | Some zooplankton were able to be identified to species level using published taxonomic keys (Sars 1895; Pennak 1953; Brooks 1957; Rutner-Kolisko 1974; Koste 1978; Boxshall & Braide 1991; Korinek 1999). Taxonomic names were cross-checked using the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). Volume densities of organisms were calculated from the counts data, with reference to the sample net mouth diameter and water column depth at each sampling site (Mwebaza-Ndawula, 1998). |
方法步驟描述:
- Collection of the zooplankton In the field, a conical plankton net (Nansen type; mesh size 60 µm; mouth diameter 0.25 m), towed vertically through the water column to have an integrated sample was used to collect the zooplankton. Three hauls were taken per site and were combined to make a composite sample.
- Preserving the samples The composite sample was preserved with sugar-formalin mixture. The sugar was to stop the ballooning of cladocerans for easy identification.
- Identification of zooplankton taxa In the laboratory, samples were washed using a sieve of 53 µm to remove the fixatives. Organisms were identified to the smallest taxonomic level possible using taxonomic keys (Sars, 1895, Pennak, 1953, Brooks, 1957, Rutner-Kolisko, 1974, Koste, 1978, Boxshall and Braide, 1991, Korinek, 1999). Density of organisms were calculated from the counts data, with reference to the sample net mouth diameter and water column depth at each sampling site (Mwebaza-Ndawula, 1998)
