[Component parasite communities in the minnow Phoxinus phoxinus (L.) from ecologically safe and polluted reservoirs]
Abstract:
A comparative analysis of the structure of component parasite communities in the minnow from ecologically safe or polluted to variable extent reservoirs was made. The analysis showed that the increase of the reservoir pollution by everyday drains, washings of fertilizers from the fields around and the dacha sections causes the change of dominant parasite species in the minnow, alteration of the sum of errors in the regression equation characterizing the spread of values of biomasses of the species forming the parasite community, and change of the "graphic" structure of the community. It is proved, that the high concentration of biogens has a destructive effect on natural systems, and at the same time causes the process of self-organizing, leading to the alteration of the community structure. As soon as even a small part of biogens is stopped to come into the reservoir, and the quality of environment is restored, the community restores its structure.
