Abstract: | Based on 388 parallel data of phytoplankton biomass and chlorophyll-a of two shallow lakes and two ponds, the following results were obtained: - Relative chlorophyll-a content of phytoplankton biomass varied between 0.08–1.88%; chlorophyll-a concentration showed great differences among lakes.
- Significant correlations (r = 0.68–0.92) were established between phytoplankton biomass and chlorophyll-a concentration. The regression in the artificial ponds was non-linear.
- In parallel with the increase of average cell volume, a decrease in relative chlorophyll-a content was observed. A significant correlation (r = + 0.83) between the two variables was found. Relative chlorophyll-a content of phytoplankton is a log-function of average cell volume.
