Evaluation of Possible Causes of Non-Predatory Mortality of Crustacean Zooplankton in a Small Siberian Reservoir
O. P. DUBOVSKAYA
Abstract
Non-predatory specific mortality (NPSM) of two dominant zooplankton species - Daphnia longispina (in one year Daphnia cucullata) and Cyclops vicinus was estimated in 1997-2000 sampling seasons with the help of a new direct method - live/dead sorting and sediment trap measurements. Simultaneously measured ecological factors such as water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, biomass of cyanobacteria, diatoms, green algae and euglen
