Abstract
The analysis of literature devoted to the study of enhanced growth of colonies of the cyanobacterium
Microcystis aeruginosa Kutz em. Elenk. after their passage through the digestive tracts of filter feeding aquatic animals (planktivorous fish, daphnia, bivalves) was done. The main proposed mechanisms of this effect and its role in the functioning of eutrophic reservoirs were discussed. The prospects and the need for further study of the effect of such enhanced growth were shown to develop a complete theory of aquatic ecosystems’ functioning.
