Effects of cage culture of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss on phytoplankton and zooplankton communities (Case study: Golestan Reservoir 1, Gorgan, Iran)

The environmental effects of fish cage culture have poorly been studied in reservoirs. Since this activity is increasingly practiced, investigations on the impacts of cage culture on physicochemical parameters and biodiversity of the reservoir is imperative. The aim of this study was to study the effects of rainbow trout cage culture on water quality, as well as plankton population structure and communities in a reservoir (Golestan Reservoir 1,...
