Abstract:
Abundance of autotrophic picoplankton(APP), heterotrophic picoplankton (heterotrophic bacteria,BACT,0.2~2.0 μm) and the COD concentration were investigated in April 28 and July 12, 2015 at 12 stations in the lower reaches of Nanxi branch of Jiulong River. Higher abundance of autotrophic picoplankton, heterotrophic bacteria and the concentration of COD was detected in April than in July. Abundance of autotrophic picoplankton and heterotrophic bacteria was significant positively correlated with COD. Abundance of autotrophic picoplankton was significant positively correlated with abundance of heterotrophic bacteria. Results reveal that the discharge of shrimp sewage has raised the trophic status of water and increased COD concentration and the number of heterotrophic bacteria.
