Abstract

The development of a fouling community at the surface of an artificial substrate in the littoral zone of Lake Baikal was studied. This epibenthic community was composed of 23 diatom species and 57 invertebrate species. The core community consisted of molluscs and caddisflies feeding mostly on diatoms. In Lake Baikal a fouling community develops in a sequence similar to marine environments.
