South lake of Tunis: hydrobiology and pollutionAbstract
Cette etude specifique au lac sud de Tunis vise a connaitre l'evolution des parametres hydrobiologiques en fonction de la maree, a determiner la periode d'effondrement de l'oxygene et a estimer le niveau de contamination des sediments superficiels et de mulets(Mugil cephalus et M. labrosus) par certains metaux lourds. Les resultats obtenus confirment que le lac sud de Tunis est en train de perdre sa vocation en tant qu'un ecosysteme vital pour la faune et la flore, qui s'y trouvent. Cette situation est la resultante de plusieurs facteurs, dont notamment les effluents rejetes dans le lac sans le moindre pretraitement, les problemes d'eutrophisation et de pollution organique et enfin la tres faible circulation de l'eau entre le lac et la mer.The purposes of this work on the Tunis south lake are to study the evolution of hydrobiological parameters in term of the tide, to determinate the time of oxygen breaking down and to estimate pollution level caused by some heavy metals in sediments and fish (Mugil cephalus and M. labrosus). The obtained results show that the Tunis south lake is loosing its vocation as being a vital ecosystem for faun and flora which live inside. This situation is the consequence of the coexistence of many factors, principally the industrial sewages, the eutrophication, the organic pollution and the very low water circulation between the lake and the sea.
