摘要: Two sets of samples from Lake Paijanne and one Ladoga were used to examine the relations between meiofauna environmental variables. The most obvious indicators an unpolluted environment were, in order importance, true meiofauna/total ratio, proportion Aeolosomatidae, Harpacticoida (excluding C. staphylinus), meiofauna/macrofauna biomass Naididae A. crassa + P. schmeili/true ratio. Conversely, clearest a polluted resting stages Cyclopinae, Nematoda/non-resting Copepoda proportions Tubificidae, Oligochaeta, Cladocera, staphylinus benthic Eucyclopinae. Oxygen saturation exercised highly significant effect on variables, next importance sedimentation, sediment chlorophenols originating chlorobleaching pulp, total phosphorus, COD phytoplankton biomass. dependence variables was somewhat more pronounced deepest areas than epiprofundal zone, largely similar two lakes.
