Abstract

A study on the species and density of sessile and planktonic rotifers in the inland waters of Songkhla Rajabhat University, along with an analysis of the relationship between water environmental factors and rotifer species composition, was conducted. Rotifer samples and water environmental parameters were collected in May and July 2022. The results revealed at least 77 rotifer species, belonging to 28 genera and 14 families. Of these, 10 species, 8 genera, and 2 families of sessile rotifers were identified, with common species including Limnias ceratophylli, Lacinularia flosculosa, and Sinantherina socialis. Regarding planktonic rotifers, at least 67 species, belonging to 20 genera and 12 families, were recorded, with high-density species including Anuraeopsis fissa, Lecane bulla, L. leontina, and Plationus patulus. In addition, water temperature was the most influential factor affecting rotifer density, followed by total dissolved solids and water turbidity, respectively. Rotifer species with high density at elevated water temperatures and conductivity included Colurella obtusa, Keratella tropica, L. leontina and P. patulus. Species with high density at increased levels of total dissolved solids and turbidity included Anuraeopsis coelata, A. fissa, Brachionus calyciflorus, and B. caudatus. Species that had high density when dissolved oxygen and pH levels were low included L. pyriformis, L. lateralis, B. quadridentatus, and M. ventralis.
