Abstract:

In three lakes, intensively mixed and heated (due to a long-term discharging of heated waters), the following tendencies were found: a dominance of small forms (particularly rotifers), an increase in their relative production, and analogous changes in their predators (carnivorous cyclopoids), retreating and production decrease of filter-feeding cladocerans, reduction in individual body size of all crustaceans and an increase in fecundity of most zooplankton species. The possible causes of these changes (turbulence, entrainment mortality, fish pressure and detritus abundance) were discussed.
