 Morphometrics
and physicochaemical characteristics of the brine ponds at Carmen
Island were evaluated during both dry and wet seasons. |
|
After sampling collections using plankton-nets, the following
parameters were obtained: population composition, biomass
and natural production, fecundity, reproductive type, biometrics
of eggs, larvae and adults.
The proper conditions for the eclosion of brine-shrimp eggs
were set at the laboratory. Field and lab results were compared
to each other by means of basic statistical analysis and discriminant
analysis.
