Technoecosystem of the cooling pond of the South Ukrainian Nuclear Power Plant: group dynamics and transformation
The results of long-term complex hydrobiological studies of the cooling pond of the South Ukrainian Nuclear Power Plant (SU NPP) are presented. The abundance of zoo- and phytoplankton increased until 1984–1985, and then in the summer of 1986, against a background of extremely high temperatures in th...

The results of long-term complex hydrobiological studies of the cooling pond of the South Ukrainian Nuclear Power Plant (SU NPP) are presented. The abundance of zoo- and phytoplankton increased until 1984–1985, and then in the summer of 1986, against a background of extremely high temperatures in the reservoir, there was a significant (32-fold) drop in the mean biomass of phytoplankton, coinciding with the minimum abundance of zooplankton. In subsequent years, the abundance of these groups recovered, but has not reached previous levels. At present, the zooplankton contains a considerable amount of thermophilic species. Research in recent years indicates that the zooperiphyton is dominated by the invasive gastropods Melanoides tuberculata (Müller, 1774) and Terebia granifera (Lamarck, 1822). In the epiliton, the number of LDT (lowest determined taxa) and groups of invertebrate was more than double that in the epiphyton (17 and 7, respectively). At the first stages of the development of the pond ecosystem, the periphyton communities were dominated by zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha Pall.
