Iv. Telesh, SPECIES COMPOSITION OF PLANKTONIC ROTIFERA, CLADOCERA AND COPEPODA INTHE LITTORAL-ZONE OF LAKE-LADOGA, Hydrobiologia, 322(1-3), 1996, pp. 181-185
A species list of zooplankton from the littoral zone of Lake Ladoga is
presented, with notes on population densities and distribution. The l
ist, totalling 141 taxa of Rotifera, Cladocera and Copepoda, includes
36 taxa reported for the first time in Lake Ladoga. An inverse relatio
nship has been observed between the values of Shannon-Weaver index of
species diversity and mean individual body mass of zooplankton organis
ms in the communities associated with macrophytes.
