| English abstract | A system of polishing ponds, as a post-treatment unit of a UASB + submerged aerated biofilter effluent (domestic wastewater) in Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Brazil, was analyzed with regard to the dynamics of the water quality, and the phytoplankton and zooplankton communities. The study included different geometric and hydraulic configurations of the pond system. Chlorella and Euglena were the dominant phytoplankton genera, whereas rotifers, cladocerans and copepods prevailed in the zooplankton community. In both cases, the gender dominance was associated with the position of the pond in the series and its water quality. The phytoplankton and zooplankton populations were inversely related, indicating grazing pressure of zooplankton on phytoplankton |
