Abstract:
      In this study, the recent 20 year monitoring data were collected to analyze the variations of population composition, dominant species and biodiversity index of macrozoobenthos in Dongting Lake. The RDA method was also employed to examine the relationships between macrozoobenthos and environmental factors. Results showed that(1)the average richness of macrozoobenthos was 53 species in 22 years, and the main species were aquatic insects(41.5%) and mollusk(39.6%).(2)Species number and density of aquatic insects overall showed a slowly declining trend, while the density of mollusks basically kept stable, and species of mollusks showed a slowly increasing trend.(3)After 2010, the dominant species shifted from clean water typed aquatic insect, mollusk and gammarid to clean water typed and pollution-tolerant oligochaetes and mollusk.(4)The macrozoobenthos species, density and biodiversity in Eastern Dongting Lake were lower than those in Western and Southern Dongting Lake.(5)TP, chl-a and transparency were main factors influencing the population composition of macrozoobenthos in Dongting Lake. The loss of water and sediment influx from upstream rivers and the variation of water level resulted from operation of the Three Gorges Project had negative effects on the population composition of macrozoobenthos.
