Abstract
Nonsynchronous vertical migrations of copepods Arctodiaptomus salinus were studied in two stratified lakes in the south of Siberia using the method of two-sectional assigned volumes. It was discovered that the presence of pronounced thermocline and the depth maximum of phytoplankton (Lake Shira) promotes intense individual migrations of zooplankton between the zones of epi- and hypolimnion.
