Grazing impacts of rotifer zooplankton on a cyanobacteria bloom in a shallow temperate lake (Vancouver Lake, WA, USA)

Grazing by microzooplankton has been shown to significantly impact freshwater cyanobacteria blooms; however, the contribution of rotifers to the overall effect of microzooplankton grazing is not well understood. We conducted monthly microzooplankton community grazing (dilution) experiments June–Octo...

Zusammenfassung:Grazing by microzooplankton has been shown to significantly impact freshwater cyanobacteria blooms; however, the contribution of rotifers to the overall effect of microzooplankton grazing is not well understood. We conducted monthly microzooplankton community grazing (dilution) experiments June–October 2019, concurrent with incubations of field-collected rotifers feeding upon the natural assemblage of microplankton prey  1000% d −1 ), yet the impact by rotifers was low (
