Abstract
Proliferation of epiphytic Rotifers and thermal pollution in the river Loire. Near confluence of the rivers Vienne and Loire, an heated effluent from nuclear-power industry raise the water temperature to 20-28 °C This rising temperature and abundant food supply (Diatoms algae) induces a seasonal intensive reproduction of a thermophilic Rotifer species : Lacinularia flosculosa. This epiphytic Rotifer proliferate — a density of 4250 females / cm2 was observed — and colonize ail submerged substrates : aquatic plants, roots, stones, somestimes over several kilometers down streamThis publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
