ABSTRACT
The relationship between heavy
metal and trophic properties in polymictic lake at Sembrong Lake,
Peninsular Malaysia was assessed. Sixteen parameters, including
heavy metals and trophic parameters were monitored. pH, temperature,
dissolved oxygen and heavy metals level changes significantly influenced
by the dynamic of polymictic mixing pattern. The mean concentrations
of heavy metals in the reservoir decreased in the following order:
Fe > Mn > Zn > Cu > As > Pb. The result showed that
this polymictic lake is being threatened by cultural eutrophication
with TSI value range from 72.40 to
80.41 and classified as a hypereutrophic lake. The levels of heavy
metal pollution in the reservoir range from slightly polluted to
polluted. Factor analysis was performed to determine the relationship
between heavy metals and trophic parameters. Five factors were responsible
for data structure and explained the 83% of total variance. These
factors differentiate each group of parameters according to their
common characteristics. Photosynthesis, respiration and redox processes
were main factors contributing to the variability of both properties.

ABSTRAK
Hubungan antara logam berat
dan sifat trofik di tasik polimik di Tasik Sembrong, Semenanjung
Malaysia telah dinilai. Enam belas parameter, termasuk logam berat
dan parameter trofik telah dipantau. pH, suhu, oksigen terlarut
dan tahap perubahan logam berat ketara dipengaruhi secara dinamik
oleh corak pergaulan polimik. Min kepekatan logam berat dalam takungan
menurun dalam susunan yang berikut: Fe> Mn> Zn> Cu>
As> Pb. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa tasik polimik ini sedang
diancam oleh eutrofikasi budaya dengan TSI julat
nilai 72.40-80.41 dan dikelaskan sebagai tasik hipereutrofik. Tahap
pencemaran logam berat dalam pelbagai takungan daripada sedikit
tercemar kepada tercemar. Analisis faktor telah dijalankan untuk
menentukan hubungan antara logam berat dan parameter trofik. Lima
faktor bertanggungjawab untuk struktur data dan menjelaskan 83% daripada jumlah
varians. Faktor-faktor ini membezakan setiap kumpulan parameter
mengikut ciri-ciri yang biasa mereka. Proses fotosintesis, pernafasan
dan redoks merupakan faktor utama yang menyumbang kepada kepelbagaian
kedua-dua sifat.
Kata kunci: Analisis faktor; eutrofikasi budaya; fotosintesis; hipereutrofik;
