Abstract

We studied effects of a low-level industrial heating caused by heating-electric power station on changes in seasonal adaptations in cladocerans inhabiting the Kama River Reservoir (the Volga River tributary). The biological significance of low-level industrial heating was analyzed by comparison of two stations: one with natural temperatures and another one affected by cooling water from the Kama Heating-Electric Power Station. We found that even relatively low (less than 2°C) difference in seasonal temperature between these two stations resulted in changes of reproductive mode in the most abundant species of Cladocera (Bosmina longirostris (Muller, 1785), Daphnia longispina Muller, 1785, and Diaphanosoma brachyurum sensu lato). At station with low heating, all species of cladocerans had some negative changes in their seasonal life cycles (sex proportion, resting egg production etc) with following disturbances in their over-wintering adaptations. Our results on early appearance and increasing of male proportion in population structure caused by industrial heating can be used for assessment of negative consequences of low-level industrial heating and global climate changes. With help of modeling, these data can be used for creation a new methods of prognosis both in global and local scales. It was finally resumed that low-level industrial heating, similar in scale to those observed during last decades under climate changes, leads to significant declining in population density and productivity in dominant species of cladocerans.
