What is Zooplankton associations in the swamps of southern Sudan about?

Samples from the main Nile channel yield a poor zooplankton, deficient in species and heavily laden with organic debris . Samples from side arms and floodplain lakes yield a richer zooplankton, often containing 15-20 species of rotifers and ten or more species of Crustacea . When the floodplain lakes are heavily vegetated the number of species increases . For the Crustacea the index of diversity (a) normally varies between 0 .6 and 2 .4, but in a side arm of the Bahr el Zeraf it reaches 6 .1 and in Lake Ambadi on the Bahr el Ghazal it reaches 8 .4 . The diversity of the rotifers is somewhat higher, normally ranging between 2 and 4 .5, but reaching 23 in Lake Ambadi . The zooplankton of Lake Ambadi is the most distinctive and contains several species not found at other stations . The reasons for the peculiar zooplankton of Lake Ambadi are discussed .
