Abstract
Preliminary investigations on the occurrence of molluscs and waterfowl at the man-made Lake Zegrzyńskie were begun in 1986.
The numbers, biomass and dominance structure of molluscs were analysed at different stations in the Lake. Some mollusc species were observed in huge numbers. Waterfowl, especially benthivorous species, were found in big flocks all the year round, but reached highest numbers in autumn. The possible effects of predation pressure from waterfowl on mollusc communities were analysed.
