Examples of aquatic ecosystem include oceans, lakes and rivers. An aquatic ecosystem includes freshwater habitats like lakes, ponds, rivers, oceans and streams, wetlands, swamp, etc. and marine habitats include oceans, intertidal zone, reefs, seabed and so on. The aquatic ecosystem is the habitat for water-dependent living species including.

The present study reveals the correlation of zooplankton productivity of lotic and lentic water ecosystem. The biological rhythms are useful tool to determine the zooplankton production. Planktons enrich the trophic level of lentic and lotic ecosystems.

Lotic ecosystems can be contrasted with lentic ecosystems, which involve relatively still terrestrial waters such as lakes, ponds, and wetlands. Together, these two ecosystems form the more general study area of freshwater or aquatic ecology .

This review also indicates that much of our knowledge of recovery in lotic ecosystems is fragmented and uncoordinated. In addition to establishing the bounds of recovery time, our review identifies some research gaps that need to be filled. KW - Case studies. KW - Disturbance. KW - Lotic ecosystems. KW - Recovery.
