The Structure and Composition of Biological Communities in the Pregolya River (Vistula Lagoon, the Baltic Sea)

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Terrestrial and Inland Water Environment of the Kaliningrad Region

Abstract

The analysis of composition, seasonal and interannual dynamics, and productivity of phytoplankton, zooplankton, and zoobenthos as well as detailed characteristic of aquatic flora of the Pregolya River are given. It is shown that the biota of anthropogenically transformed lower reach recovered partially during the 2000s.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Protocols of 44 phytoplankton samples, April–October 1996–1997, processed by S. N. Semenova.

  2. 2.

    In the studies of 1996–1997, chroococcal cyanobacteria were counted by colonies (slime + cells), which leads to an overestimation of the phytoplankton biomass. This mainly affected is the mouth of the river.
