Asynchronous vertical migrations of zooplankton in stratified lakes

  • Published:
Contemporary Problems of Ecology Aims and scope

Abstract

Asynchronous vertical migrations of calanoid copepods Arctodiaptomus salinus were studied in two stratified lakes in the south of Siberia using the method of two-section enclosures. It was found that the presence of a pronounced thermocline and a depth maximum of phytoplankton (Lake Shira) contributes to the appearance of intensive individual migrations of copepods between areas of the epi- and hypolimnion.
