Abstract: | The icefish Neosalanx pseudotaihuensis Zhang is a small and commercially exploited zooplanktivorous fish in Xujiahe Reservoir (central China). Data of catch per unit effort (CPUE) from June 1995 to December 1997 show that the abundance of the icefish varied dramatically, which is reflected in the populations of the dominant cladocerans. The densities of Leptodora kindti, Daphnia galeata and Diaphanosoma dubia were the highest in 1997 when the abundance of the icefish was the lowest, and the reverse was the case for Boimina spp. These results document that the population of this annual fish is very variable and high biomass of the fish could exert a pronounced effect on the zooplankton community. |
