In the Brazilian semi-arid areas this problem takes even greater proportions due to characteristical water scarcity of the region. It is extremely important to the predictive eutrophication models development and to the reservoirs management in the semi-arid region, studies that promotes understanding of the mechanisms responsible for the expansion and control of algae blooms, essential for improving the water quality of these environments. The present study had as its main aims, evaluate the temporal pattern of trophic state, considering the influence of nutrients (N and P) and the light availability in the water column in the development of phytoplankton biomass, and perform the mathematical modelling of changes in phosphorus and chlorophyll a concentrations in the Cruzeta man-made lake located on Serid?, a typical semi-arid region of Rio Grande do Norte. To this, a fortnightly monitoring was performed in the reservoir in 05 stations over the months of March 2007 to May 2008. Were measured the concentrations of total phosphorus, total organic nitrogen, chlorophyll a, total, fixed and volatile suspended solids, as well as the measure of transparency (Secchi) and the profiles of photosynthetic active radiation (PAR), temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen and electrical conductivity in the water column. Measurements of vertical profiles have shown some periods of chemical and thermal stratification, especially in the rainy season, due to increased water column depth, however, the reservoir can be classified as warm polimitic. During the study period the reservoir was characterized as eutrophic considering the concentrations of phosphorus and most of the time as mesotrophic, based on the concentrations of chlorophyll a, according to the Thornton & Rast (1993) classification. The N:P relations suggest N limitation, conversely, significant linear relationship between the algae biomass and nutrients (N and P) were not observed in our study. However, a relevant event was the negative and significant correlation presented by Kt and chlorophyll a (r ? = 0.83) at the end of the drought of 2007 and the rainy season of 2008, and the algal biomass collapse observed at the end of the drought season (Dec/07). The equation used to simulate the change in the total phosphorus was not satisfactory, being necessary inclusion of parameters able to increase the power of the model prediction. The chlorophyll a simulation presented a good adjustment trend, however there is a need to check the calibrated model parameters and subsequent equation validation / A eutrofiza??o tem se apresentado como um dos principais problemas de polui??o aqu?tica a n?vel global. No semi-?rido brasileiro este problema toma propor??es ainda maiores devido a escassez de ?gua caracter?stica da regi?o. Torna-se extremamente relevante para o desenvolvimento do modelos preditivos de eutrofiza??o e para a gest?o dos reservat?rios da regi?o semi-?rida, a realiza??o de estudos que propiciem a compreens?o dos mecanismos respons?veis pela expans?o e controle de flora??es de algas, fundamentais para a melhoria da qualidade da ?gua desses ambientes. Diante disso, o presente estudo teve como objetivos principais, avaliar o padr?o temporal do estado tr?fico, considerando a influ?ncia dos nutrientes (N e P) e a disponibilidade de luz na coluna d ?gua no desenvolvimento da biomassa fitoplanct?nica, e realizar a modelagem matem?tica da varia??o das concentra??es de f?sforo e clorofila a no a?ude Cruzeta localizado na regi?o do Serid?, regi?o t?pica do semi-?rido do Rio Grande do Norte. Para tanto, foi realizado o monitoramento do reservat?rio com amostragens de ?gua quinzenais em 05 pontos de coleta ao longo dos meses de mar?o de 2007 a maio de 2008, sendo determinadas as concentra??es de f?sforo total, nitrog?nio org?nico total, clorofila a, e s?lidos suspensos totais, fixos e vol?teis, al?m da medida de transpar?ncia (Secchi) e dos perfis de radia??o fotossinteticamente ativa (RFA), temperatura, pH, oxig?nio dissolvido e condutividade el?trica na coluna d ?gua. As medi??es dos perfis verticais realizados evidenciaram alguns per?odos de estratifica??o t?rmica e qu?mica, notadamente no per?odo chuvoso, devido a maior profundidade da coluna d ?gua, no entanto o reservat?rio pode ser classificado como pol?mitico quente. Durante o per?odo estudado o reservat?rio caracterizou-se como eutr?fico considerando-se as concentra??es de f?sforo e mesotr?fico na maior parte do tempo, com base nas concentra??es de clorofila a, segundo a classifica??o de Thornton & Rast (1993). As raz?es N:P observadas sugerem limita??o por N, opostamente, rela??es lineares significativas entre a biomassa de algas e os nutrientes (N e P) n?o foram observadas no nosso estudo. Entretanto, chamou aten??o a rela??o negativa e significativa apresentada pelo Kt e clorofila a (r?=0.83) no final do per?odo de estiagem de 2007 e per?odo chuvoso de 2008, e do colapso da biomassa algal observado no final do per?odo de estiagem (dez/07). A equa??o utilizada para simular a varia??o do f?sforo total n?o apresentou ajuste satisfat?rio, sendo necess?rio portanto, inser??o de par?metros capazes de elevar o poder de predi??o do modelo. A simula??o para clorofila a apresentou uma boa tend?ncia de ajuste, entretanto h? necessidade de verifica??o dos par?metros calibrados no modelo e posterior valida??o da equa??o

No. of bitstreams: 1 PATRICIA SILVA CRUZ.pdf: 1593611 bytes, checksum: 0f8a78fbf3dc477b6c807ba2aa086c1c (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-02-25 / The high population growth around watershed areas, mainly from supply, has led aquatic ecosystems to show high contamination levels, mainly because the increasing of nitrogen and phosphorus availability. This study aims to elucidate how the impact of nutrients addition (phosphorus and nitrogen), from the pisciculture contribution, has interfered in the composition and in the dynamic of the functional phytoplankton groups and fish respiratory and digestive system. In this context, the functional groups applicability as descriptors of shallow eutrophic ecosystems with pisciculture activity is approached. The study was carried out from January to May 2010, with samplings carried out in fortnightly intervals at the subsurface. The abiotic variables which were obtained: temperature, water transparency, euphotic zone, electric conductivity, dissolved oxygen, pH, n-ammoniacal, nitrate, nitrite, total phosphorus, soluble reactive phosphorus. The functional groups have been grouped based in the ecological/adaptive features. In general, the variation of light availability has been one of the main attributes related to changes in the planktonic algae composition in the different used treatments. The phytoplankton associations which have been identified were typical from eutrophic shallow environments and the strategies CRS have registered a predominance of R strategists, generally associated to environments with light limitation. As a response to the alterations which have occurred at the mesoenvironments, it has been evidenced in the fish intestine and gills the presence of parasites, which were favored by the storage and decay in the water quality, killing some fish copies by asphyxia and also by the hepatocytes massive death (hepatic failure), due to high contribution of N and P from fertilizations, feeding, from the fish metabolism and from its release in the water column because the organic matter degradation of the dead organisms, including algae. / O elevado crescimento populacional em torno de áreas de mananciais, principalmente de abastecimento, têm levado os ecossistemas aquáticos a apresentar altos níveis de contaminação, principalmente pelo aumento da disponibilidade de nitrogênio e fósforo. O presente estudo teve como objetivo, elucidar como o impacto da adição de nutrientes (fósforo e nitrogênio), proveniente do aporte da piscicultura, interfere na composição e dinâmica dos grupos funcionais fitoplanctônicos e sistema digestório e respiratório dos peixes. Neste contexto, a aplicabilidade dos grupos funcionais como descritores de ecossistemas rasos eutrofizados com atividade de piscicultura é abordado. O estudo foi realizado no período de janeiro a maio de 2010, com amostragens realizadas em intervalos quinzenais na subsuperfície. As variáveis abióticas obtidas foram: temperatura, transparência da água, zona eufótica, condutividade elétrica, oxigênio dissolvido, pH, n-amoniacal, nitrato, nitrito, fósforo total, fósforo reativo solúvel. Os grupos funcionais foram agrupadas com base nas características ecológicas/adaptativas. Em geral, a variação na disponibilidade de luz foi um dos principais atributos relacionados à mudança na composição das algas planctônicas nos diferentes tratamentos. As associações fitoplanctônicas identificadas foram típicas de ambientes rasos eutróficos e as estratégias CRS registraram predominância de R estrategistas, geralmente associados a ambientes com limitação por luz. Como resposta as alterações ocorridas nos mesoambientes, foram evidenciados no intestino e brânquias dos peixes a presença de parasitas, favorecidos pela estocagem e a deterioração na qualidade da água, provocando a morte de alguns exemplares por asfixia e também pela morte massiva hepatocitária (insuficiência hepática), decorrente do elevado aporte de N e P advindo das fertilizações, arraçoamento, do metabolismo dos peixes e da sua liberação na coluna d‟ água em conseqüência da degradação da matèria orgânica dos organismos mortos, incluindo as algas.
