Abstract
Samples of water, zooplankton and fish larvae were collected from ten stations in Lake Burollus monthly from April 2014 to March 2015. Physicochemical parameters, nutrients, organic matters and chlorophyll-a were determined. Also, the composition, abundance of zooplankton, feeding habits of dominant fish larvae and its relation to the surrounding conditions were studied. A total of 123 species were identified indicated high diversity of zooplankton in the lake, about of 23 of them are marine and 100 known as a freshwater species. The minimum species richness (6 species) was recorded at station II in February while the maximum (36 species) was recorded at station VI in June. The number of freshwater species was higher in the southern stations than the other stations due to the low salinity. Zooplankton standing crop may be grouping to holoplankton and meroplankton. Holoplankton in Lake Burollus represented 99% while meroplankton represented 1% of the total abundance of zooplankton. Larvae of five fish larval species were collected from two stations at Lake Burollus. Mugil cephalus were collected from the period of September to December. The fries collected in October were totally had empty stomachs. Seventeen zooplankton items were identified from their stomachs, ranged between 7 – 14 according their length and weight.
