Summer algal communities of wetlands situated near Floreşti village, Cluj County
Journal Title: Aquaculture, Aquarium, Conservation & Legislation - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2008, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The investigations aimed to establish the qualitative composition of summer algal communities of the ponds which are the strategic drinking water reserves for the city of Cluj-Napoca. They are located on the right bank of the Someşu Mic River, between the Floreşti village and the city Cluj-Napoca. There have been identified 201 algal taxa, 152 of them in the plankton and 143 in the benthos, with 105 taxa occurring in both plankton and benthos samples. The algal flora is characterized by a large number of ubiquitous, cosmopolitan elements, together with several algae having well defined ecological preferences (basiphilous), or indicators of the trophic status and saprobic level of the water. The estimation of water trophicity level was performed based on phytoplankton indices. The floristic affinity of the investigated communities was tested by Jaccard’s similarity index. Together with autochthonous algae there have been found some alien ones, washed into the ponds from the Someşu Mic River drainage basin.
