Resumo

MasterFoods wetlands exhibit phytoplankton communities, yet no zooplankton to consume them. Macrophytes were planted to improve the water quality. However a lack of oxygen, methane production and highly soluble salts in the wetland water potentially disrupted osmoregulation mechanisms in both colonising zooplankton and submerged macrophytes, thereby inhibiting their survival.
