| Abstract: | Foodchain relationships in water within a helophytic vegetation stand were experimentally investigated using the radioactive isotope 33P as a tracer. The results proved the importance of cladoceran zooplankton (mainly Bosmina longispina LEYDIG) in the control of phytoplankton and the importance of young fish in the control of Bosmina abundance in the littoral water. |
