Seasonal Dynamics of Lipids in Freshwater Benthic Invertebrates

  • Chapter
Lipids in Freshwater Ecosystems

Abstract

Although there is a wealth of information on lipids in marine organisms, especially zooplankton (Kattner and Hagen, 1995; Tande and Henderson, 1988;Clarke et al., 1987; Lee, 1975; Lee and Hirota, 1973), relatively little information is available on freshwater benthic organisms. The benthos of large temperate lakes often experience a seasonal variation in food supply that is similar to the high to midlatitudes of the ocean (Lee, 1975). For instance, in temperate large lakes the diatom bloom that eventually settles to the profundal zone of the lake may be the main source of high-quality food for the benthos during the year (Fitzgerald and Gardner, 1993; Johnson and Wiederholm, 1992;Gardner et al., 1990; Fahnenstiel and Scavia, 1987).
