Abstract
The objectives of this research were to determine mean and maximum tolerance ranges of Carassius auratus (Ca) and Cyprinus carpio (Cc) populations on various physico-chemical parameters and ecological indicator metrics. Little is known about chemical tolerance ranges of the two species, even though these species are widely distributed species in aquatic ecosystems. Maximum tolerance ranges of Ca-population to total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) were 20.3 mg L-1 and 2.0 mg L-1, respectively. Optimal ranges of TN and TP in the Ca-population were 1.7-5.0 mg L-1 and 0.06-0.30 mg L-1, respectively. Such nutrient regimes of the Ca-population were evaluated as hypereutrophy, indicating high tolerance limits. The Cc-population had similar ecological characteristics to Ca-population, but the mean tolerance ranges of TN, TP, BOD, and COD were significantly (p < 0.05) greater than the Ca-population. Ecological patterns of tro¬phic composition and tolerance guilds in the Ca-population were similar to those of the Cc-population. The model value of Index of Biological Integrity (IBI) of the habitat where C. auratus and C. carpio co-occurred averaged 15.0 ± 4.3 and 12.9±3.6, respectively. Based on the modified criteria of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (Klemm et al. 1993), it indicated poor ecological health of both species. These results suggest that both species are highly tolerant to chemical and physical habitat conditions of waterbodies, and that the chemical tolerance range of Cc-population was higher than Ca-population.
