The Marapendi lagoon is an eutrophic lagoon of the Jacarepaguá lagoon system, Rio de Janeiro. As a result of the constant and accelerated process of eutrophication in effect, there was a change in the structure of its phytoplankton community, whitc may have an important meaning for the various components of the ecosystem, as well as preclude different uses. The present study aimed to recognize the temporal and spatial patterns of phytoplankton, identifying the controlling and directioning factors of the community, by comparing the approaches of taxonomic groups and functional groups. Monthly samples were collected at 4 points along the lagoon during the 2008 year. The floristic analysis revealed the presence of 45 taxa belonging to Cyanophyceae, Cryptophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Bacillariophyceae and Dinophyceae classes. These were allocated into 10 functional groups (GF) sensu Reynolds (H1, K, M, S1, X1, X2, J, C, MP and Y) and in 6 morphology based functional groups (MBFG). The biomass data for all approaches tested were compared with the abiotic variables trough multivariate redundancy analysis (RDA). The GF approach proved to be richer in detail, showing different adaptive strategies of cyanobacteria ecological groups. However, in eutrophic and shallow environments with few species, like the Marapendi lagoon, the use of MBFG approach proves to be more suitable due to its use simplicity combined with the good ability to explain the phytoplankton dynamics.
