3.4. Taxa abundance
At the lower salinity level in all sediment
samples, mean zooplankton abundance increased
after day 7 and continued to increase until day 21.
In the 5000mg dm-3 treatment for Willalooka and
KC-Road microcosms, the abundance peaked at day
14 and slightly decreased there after (Fig. 4). The
composition of zooplankton of all treatments on each
sampling occasion based on rank of abundance is
presented in Table V.
