英文摘要	Zooplankton play a crucial role in aquatic food chains and contain many species, which could be bioindicators of water quality and ecosystem health. The ecological impacts of eutrophication on zooplankton composition in freshwater lakes have recently gained wide interest. Geographic location and water-body size influence zooplankton diversity in freshwaters; meanwhile, less is known about the composition and dynamic of the zooplankton community and their relationship with the trophic status in artificial water in semi-arid areas. The present study aimed to assess the physical-chemical parameters and to document the seasonal distribution of zooplankton species and their relationship with environmental factors and trophic state in the artificial freshwater lake JUST, in a semi-arid area. The high concentrations of nutrients and the trophic level index (TLI) classified the lake as eutrophic-hypertrophic. The zooplankton in the JUST lake were composed of twenty-six species, with eleven Rotifera, ten Copepoda, and five Cladocera. Copepoda was numerically the most abundant taxon, accounting for 64% of the total zooplankton abundance, in both seasons. However, the second most abundant taxon in summer was Rotifera (28.26%) while in winter it was Cladocera (25.88%). The community structure seemed to be influenced, most likely, by trophic state, phytoplankton abundance, water temperature, dissolved oxygen, and nutrient loading. The zooplankton were largely dominated by bioindicator species of high trophic levels. Zooplankton could be used as a tool to monitor the trophic state of the lake. For sustainable development, the introduction of phytoplanktivorous, aquaculture species, such as carp and koi, will strengthen the top-down control of the phytoplankton concentration, leading to a reduced trophic state.
