Pig farming plays an important role in the Brazilian economy, but it may trigger environmental issues, especially regarding the contamination of water resources. In this study, we evaluated the effects of the deposition of effluents from a pig farm on the phytoplankton assemblage composition and limnological parameters at different spots of the Divisa River - Fazenda São Luís, Aparecida de Minas/MG, Brazil. Over six months, we analyzed several variables at three different sampling sites on the surface of a coastal zone. We registered seventy-four phytoplankton genera, with Chlorophyceae and Cyanophyceae representing the most abundant classes, and Cryptophyceae and Cyanophyceae displaying the highest densities. The PERMANOVA analysis revealed dissimilarity between sampling sites P1 x P3 and P2 x P3, and the SIMPER analysis showed that Cryptophyceae and Cyanophyceae contributed to the observed dissimilarity. The correspondence canonical analysis (CCA) allowed the organization of sampled sites in three groups, in which the phytoplankton composition was distinguished according to trophic gradients. We concluded that pig farming effluents discharged without previous treatment into water bodies exert influences in both the phytoplankton community and the dynamics of its assemblage, by increasing total phosphorus and contributing for increased abundances of Cryptophyceae and Cyanophyceae in the last evaluated site (P3).

La cría de cerdos juega un papel importante en la economía brasileña, pero puede desencadenar problemas ambientales, especialmente con respecto a la contaminación de los recursos hídricos. Este estudio evaluó los efectos de la deposición de efluentes de una granja porcina sobre la composición del ensamblaje de fitoplancton y parámetros limnológicos en diferentes puntos del río Divisa - Hacienda São Luís, Aparecida de Minas / MG, Brasil. Se analizaron varias variables durante seis meses en tres sitios de muestreo diferentes, en la superficie de una zona costera. Se registraron 74 géneros de fitoplancton, con Chlorophyceae y Cyanophyceae representando las clases más abundantes, y Cryptophyceae y Cyanophyceae teniendo las densidades más altas. Un análisis PERMANOVA reveló diferencias entre los sitios de muestreo P1 x P3 y P2 x P3, y un análisis SIMPER mostró que Cryptophyceae y Cyanophyceae contribuyeron a la diferencia observada. Un análisis de correspondencia canónica permitió la organización de los sitios muestreados en tres grupos, en los que se diferenciaba la composición del fitoplancton según gradientes tróficos. Concluimos que los efluentes porcinos liberados sin tratamiento previo a los cuerpos de agua influyen tanto en la comunidad de fitoplancton como en la dinámica de su ensamblaje, aumentando el fósforo total y contribuyendo al aumento de la abundancia de Cryptophyceae y Cyanophyceae en el último sitio evaluado (P3).
