Abstract
Four series of samples were made during the hydrological cycle of 1992/1993 (October 1992, January, April, and July 1993) to establish the diversity of the planktonic Copepoda community in relation to the trophic state in seven floodplain lakes of the Upper Paraná River system. Sampling was carried out prior to the environmental disturbance caused by the formation of Porto Primavera Reservoir, when 250 km of the Upper Paraná River became standing water in 1998, with the consequent extinction of the original habitats. Nine planktonic species occurred in the Paraná River and floodplain lakes, seven diaptomids and two cyclopids. A trophic state gradient was established, indicating preferences of groups of copepod species for a set of limnological characteristics.
