One field experiment was performed during five weeks in twenty enclosures (8m3) to where four treatments were randomly allocated: with tilapia addition (T), with nutrients addition (NP), with tilapia and nutrients addition (T+NP) and a control treatment with no tilapia or nutrients addition (C). A two-way repeated measures ANOVA was done to test for time (t), tilapia (T) and nutrient (NP) effects and their interaction on water transparency, total phosphorus, total nitrogen, phytoplankton and zooplankton. The results show that there was no effect of nutrient addition on these variables but significant fish effects on the biomass of total zooplankton, nauplii, rotifers, cladocerans and calanoid copepods, on the biovolume of Bacillariophyta, Zygnemaphyceae and large algae (GALD ? 50 ?m) and on Secchi depth. In addition, we found significant interaction effects between tilapia and nutrients on Secchi depth and rotifers. Overall, tilapia decreased the biomass of most zooplankton taxa and large algae (diatoms) and decreased the water transparency while nutrient enrichment increased the biomass of zooplankton (rotifers) but only in the absence of tilapia. In conclusion, the influence of fish on the reservoir plankton community and water transparency was greater than that of nutrient loading. This finding suggests that biomanipulation should be a greater priority in the restoration of eutrophic reservoirs in tropical semi-arid regions / ?O principal objetivo deste estudo foi testar a hip?tese de que a introdu??o da til?pia do Nilo (Oreochromis niloticus) e o enriquecimento por nutrientes (N e P) interagem sinergicamente ocasionando mudan?as na estrutura da comunidade planct?nica atrav?s do aumento da biomassa fitoplanct?nica e diminui??o da transpar?ncia da ?gua em um reservat?rio tropical do semi-?rido. Um experimento de campo foi realizado durante cinco semanas em vinte mesocosmos (8m3) nos quais quatro tratamentos foram alocados aleatoriamente: com adi??o de til?pia (T), com adi??o de nutrientes (NP), com adi??o de til?pia e nutrientes (T+NP) e um tratamento controle sem adi??o de til?pia ou nutrientes (C). Uma ANOVA bifatorial com medidas repetidas foi realizada para testar os efeitos do tempo, da til?pia (T) e dos nutrientes (NP) e seus efeitos de intera??o sobre a transpar?ncia da ?gua, f?sforo total, fitopl?ncton e zoopl?ncton. Os resultados mostraram que n?o houve efeito da adi??o de nutrientes sobre essas vari?veis mas houve um efeito significativo dos peixes sobre a biomassa do zoopl?ncton total, n?uplios, rot?feros, clad?ceros e cop?podos calan?ides, sobre o biovolume de Bacillariophyta, Zygnemaphyceae e algas de grande porte (GALD ? 50?m) e sobre a profundidade do disco de Secchi. Al?m disso, foi encontrado um efeito significativo da intera??o entre as til?pias e nutrientes sobre a profundidade do disco de Secchi e tamb?m sobre a biomassa de rot?feros. As til?pias diminu?ram a biomassa da maioria dos taxa zooplanct?nicos, das algas de grande porte e diminu?ram a transpar?ncia da ?gua, enquanto que o enriquecimento por nutrientes aumentou a biomassa do zoopl?ncton (rotiferos) mas somente na aus?ncia das til?pias. Portanto podemos concluir que a influ?ncia dos peixes sobre a comunidade planct?nica do reservat?rio e a transpar?ncia da ?gua foi maior do que o aporte por nutrientes, sugerindo assim que a biomanipula??o deve ter maior prioridade na restaura??o de reservat?rios eutrofizados em regi?es semi-?ridas tropicais
