Abstract

FONTURBEL RADA, Francisco. Algunos Criterios Biológicos sobre el proceso de Eutrofización a orillas de seis localidades del Lago Titikaka . Ecol. apl. [online]. 2003, vol.2, n.1, pp.75-79. ISSN 1726-2216.

Environmental conditions were evaluated for 6 study sites at Titikaka’s lake margins (La Paz, Bolivia), where I founded 4 different degrees of eutrophic processes. 4 fast-evaluation indicator parameters were used: floating and submerged macrophytes, phytoplankton and organoleptic properties, which were complemented with pH and micro-middle fauna analysis. Different affectations degrees of eutrophic process were founded in associated in part to human influence and contamination at the study sites. Indicator relevancy was analyzed for each particular case.

Keywords : Titikaka Lake; eutrophication; biologic indicators; phytoplankton.
