Spatial and temporal variations of zooplankton assemblage in Chiffa Wadi (North Algeria).

The spatial and temporal variations in the distribution, abundance, and assemblage structure of zooplankton were examined in the Chiffa Wadi River, north central Algeria. Samples were taken seasonally from autumn 2020 to summer 2022. Nine physical and chemical variables were recorded, and their relationship with the density of 39 zooplankton species was established using canonical correspondence analysis.

Study of the impact of metal and organic pollution on benthic macrofauna using multivariate analyses in coastal wetland of Reghaïa, Algeria.

In this study, we studied the impact of pollution, metallic, organic, and environmental parameters, on benthic macroinvertebrates of the Reghaïa wetland and coastal zone, which is a nature reserve located in northern Algeria and is one of the last heritage sites on the central coast of the country. To do this, multivariate methods are used. The results of the multivariate analyses clearly show the impact of metal and organic pollution on the macroinvertebrates of this wetland which is really striking; this pollution has destroyed and upset the biodiversity of the benthic macrofauna and it has led to the disappearance of several taxa.

Evaluation of the trophic status in three reservoirs in Algeria (north west) using physicochemical analysis and rotifers structure.

The aim of this study is to examine the trophic state of three reservoirs located in the northwest of Algeria based on the physicochemistry of water and the community of rotifers. The measurements of the physicochemical variables were carried out monthly over a 2-year period from December 2015 to November 2017. The rotifers were sampled simultaneously.

The relationship between zooplankton community and environmental factors of Ghrib Dam in Algeria.

The effect of environmental factors on zooplankton diversity, abundance, and distribution in the Ghrib Dam water body was investigated for 2 years from June 2013 to May 2015. A total of 61 species of zooplankton were recorded, including 45 rotifers, 13 cladocerans, and 3 copepods. The zooplankton abundance fluctuated between 4 and 3363 ind.

Correction to: Evaluation of the surface water quality in the Kebir-Rhumel catchment area (Northeast Algeria) using biotic indices and physico-chemical analyses.

The correct title is presented in this paper.

Evaluation of the surface water quality in the Kebir-Rhumel catchment area (northeast Algeria) using biotic indices and physico-chemical analyses.

Assessing the water quality of the Kebir-Rhumel watershed by the use of benthic macroinvertebrates and physico-chemical analysis is the aim of this work. Thirteen physicochemical parameters and macroinvertebrates fauna were collected monthly in 15 stations located along the catchment area in the two principal wadis: El Kebir and Rhumel. Canonical correspondence analysis was used to study the relationships between physico-chemical parameters and macroinvertebrates.

Dynamics and effects of Ligula intestinalis (L.) infection in the native fish Barbus callensis Valenciennes, 1842 in Algeria.

The dynamics of the emergence, duration, and decline phases in epizootic cycles are well known for humans and some crops, but they are poorly understood for host-parasite systems in the wild. Parasites may be particularly insidious as they are often introduced unintentionally, simultaneously with their hosts, and later transferred to species in the new location. Here we investigate the epizootic dynamics of the tapeworm Ligula intestinalis in the Hamiz reservoir, Algeria, and explore its effects on the cyprinid fish Barbus callensis.

[Impact of Ligula intestinalis (L.1758) (Cestode), on the growth of Barbus setivimensis (Cyprinidae) in a lake system in Algeria].

The Algerian freshwater fish fauna is mainly represented by the Cyprinidae family, in particular, the genus Barbus. This is represented only by natural populations of the subgenus Barbus. The systematic, based mainly on the methods of biometrics, is quite different from one author to another.

Distribution of zooplankton community in Mediterranean-climate lakes.

The sometimes sharp thermal variations and irregular precipitations and force concentrated over short periods characterize the Mediterranean climate. The structure of the zooplanktonic settlement was analyzed during one year in three Algerian reservoirs (lakes) with different geographical and climatic situation, in relation to abiotic factors (temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, suspended matter, carbonates, nitrogenized and phosphorated nutritive salts). A canonical correspondence analysis was used to estimate the influence of the abiotic factors on the temporal distribution.
