Abstract:

The paper is an introduction to the field studies on bioenergetics of a natural population of Asellus aquaticus L. It gives a general outline of seasonal and annual changes in occurrence of macrobenthos with special attention paid to the species examined. The changes in numbers, biomass, and calorific equivalent of invertebrate benthic animals (except Mollusca) are given as a background of the population dynamics. Age, sex and size structures of A. aquaticus have been studied. The A. aquaticus population, abundant in late spring, was found to decline during summer with a certain tendency to restore in autumn. Annual changes point to the long-term population decline.
