We examined the hypothesis that toxic effects ofMicrocystis aeruginosato population dynamics, ephippial production, and resting egg formation ofDaphniawere restricted by food quality levels. Four unicellular, toxicM. aeruginosastrains with contrasting concentration of microcystin and twoDaphniaspecies were used in this study. The number of offspring at first reproduction, population densities, and maximum population growth rate of twoDaphniaspecies were lower at the highest toxicM. aeruginosa7820 treatment compared with other treatments under two concentrations ofScenedesmus obliquus. The maximum number of offspring at first reproduction of twoDaphniaspecies appeared in the higher toxicM. aeruginosa526 strain at the high concentration ofS. obliquus. The effects ofM. aeruginosastrains,S. obliquus, and their combination on the number of offspring at first reproduction and the maximum population growth rate of twoDaphniaspecies were significant (P< 0.001). TwoDaphniaspecies could not reproduce in the highest toxic M7820 treatment under two concentrations ofS. obliquus. They had lower population size and maximum population growth rate in the higher toxic M526 treatment at the low concentration ofS. obliquus, but they were higher at the high concentration ofS. obliquus. This result suggests that highS. obliquusconcentration could relieve the toxicity ofM. aeruginosatoDaphnia, andDaphniacould utilize the lower toxicMicrocystisas food. The cumulative ephippia numbers of twoDaphniaspecies were more at the high concentration ofS. obliquusthan those at the low concentration. The percentage of ephippia containing no resting eggs of twoDaphniaspecies was evidently higher at the low concentration ofS. obliquusbut was lower at the high concentration ofS. obliquus. Our results indicated that the cumulative ephippia numbers ofDaphniawere population density dependent at the high-level food, and the productions of ephippia inDaphniawere significantly controlled by microcystin concentration at the low-level food.
