| dc.description.abstract | Physico-chemical parameters, Zooplankton and Benthos of Makwaye (Ahmadu Bello University Farm) Lake Samaru, Zaria were studied for a period of 12 months from May 1987 to April, 1988. Three groups of zooplankton and four groups of benthos with 15 and 8 genera respectively were recorded. With the exception of temperature and B.O.D. all the biota and physico-chemical parameters exhibited a significant seasonal variation (P< O.05). The concentrations of Magnesium and Sodium in both the surface water and the sediment exhibited a significant seasonal variation (P< O.05). There was a significant correlation of temperature, pH, Zn, and Co with Copepoda and Mollusca with Co, K and Ca. Low transparency, high PO4 -P and NO3-N concentration were recorded throughout the study period. | en_US |
