We examined the excretion of phosphorus and nitrogen of seven common zooplankton species in South China,Brachionus calyciflorus,Asplawchna priodonta,Bosminopsis deitersi,Moina micrura,Daphnia similoides sinensis,Mesocyclops therrnocyclopoides and Phyllodiaptomus tunguidus under different temperature (15-30℃C).The nitrogen and phosphorus content of the seven species were also analyzed to test the hypothesis that variation in nutrient excretion rate is related to body P and N content.Body P and N content were 4.9-24.2 μg/mg dry weight (DW) and 51.2-153.5 μg/mg(DW) respectively,and their atom ratio was 11.5-43.0.Body P content was significantly related to body dry weight.However,both body N content and N ∶P ratio were not significantly related to body dry weight.The mass-specific excretion rate of dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) was 0.31-2.05 μg/(mg(DW) · h),negatively related to body dry weight,and positively to temperature and body N ∶P ratio.The mass-specific excretion rate of total dissolved nitrogen (TDN) was 24-256 μg/(mg(DW) ·h),negatively related to body dry weight and positively to temperature.Atom ratio of TDN to DIP excretion was 112-352,positively related to temperature,and negatively to body dry weight and N ∶P ratio.Our results indicated that zooplankton fed on food with high N ∶P ratio tend to excrete nutrients with a high nitrogen excretion rate and high ratio of TDN ∶ DIP in South China,and interspecific difference of P excretion and TDN ∶ DIP ratio of the excretion would be ascribed partly to body dry weight and N ∶P ratio.%比较分析了我国南亚热带湖库7种常见浮游动物,萼花臂尾轮虫(Brachionus calyciflorus)、前节晶囊轮虫(Asplanchna priodonta)、颈沟基合潘(Bosminopsis deitersi)、微型裸腹涵(Moina micrura)、中华拟同型溞(Daphnia similoides sinensis、温中剑水蚤(Mesocyclops thermocyclopoides)和舌状叶镖水蚤(Phyllodiaptomus tunguidus)在温度15~ 30℃范围内的氮、磷排泄率以及氮、磷含量.氮、磷含量分别为4.9~24.2 μg/mg(DW)和51.2~ 153.5 μg/mg(DW);氮磷原子比为11.5~43.0.磷含量与个体干重呈显著正相关关系,但氮含量和氮磷比与个体干重相关性不显著.溶解态无机磷(DIP)排泄率为0.31~2.05 μg/(mg(DW)·h),与个体干重呈显著负相关,与温度和个体氮磷含量比值均呈显著正相关.总溶解态氮(TDN)排泄率为24~256 μg/(mg(DW)·h),与温度和个体干重均呈显著相关,但与个体氮磷含量比值相关性不显著.排泄的TDN:DIP原子比为112~352,与温度呈显著正相关,与个体干重和氮磷含量比值均呈显著负相关.结果表明,在高氮磷比的食物条件下,7种浮游动物营养盐排泄均呈现高的氮磷比特征,磷排泄率和排泄的氮磷比的种间差异受个体干重和个体氮磷比影响.
