Abstract

The present study evaluated the influence of water level fluctuations and the system type on the structure of planktonic microcrustacean assemblage, in different lagoons on the Upper Paraná River floodplain. Sampling was performed in pelagic region from 15 lagoons associated with three rivers, during flood (February 1999) and dry (October 1999) periods. Forty nine cladoceran species and sixteen copepods species were identified. Null model ANOVA results did not show significant differences in microcrustacean densities among systems. Only B. hagmanni, B. deitersi and Calanoid nauplii densities were significantly different between periods. Differences between periods in each system and among systems in each hydrological period were not significant either. Thus, spatial differences were not superior in microcrustacean structuring. However, some temporal differences were observed for bosminids and Calanoid nauplii
