The answer of the free nematode populations to the physico - chemical state of “ lake ” south Tunis has been studied in autumn 96 from 10 sampling sites. Their very weak specific diversity (Hermi, 2001) and the non selective détritivorous proliferation (1B) bound to the strong contents in recorded organic matter (Hermi, 2001) revealed the sensitivity of nematodes to the eutrophication and nutritionnal pollution. According to several interrelationships calculations, the waters saturation in oxygen, their contents in abeyance matter and in nitrogen as well as the sediments granulometry and their contents in certain heavy metals, appeared the most lagoonar determining parameters. Otherwise, the answer of nematofaunistic communities living in South lake was... |
