Using Zooplankton Indicators to Assess the Ecological Condition of a Lake

Article Preview

Abstract:

Nowadays zooplankton is widely used as an indicator of ecological conditions of waterbodies. This article shows the result of the research in zooplankton community of Kamenik Lake. Diversity of zooplankton community, species composition, indicating species, quantitative characteristics, trophic status and saprobity are being evaluated. Hydrochemical data is provided and a development forecast is made.
