Evaluation of non-predatory mortality of two Daphnia species in a Siberian reservoir

Evaluation of non-predatory mortality of two Daphnia species in a Siberian reservoir

A new method of estimating non-predatory mortality of zooplankton based on live/dead sorting and sediment trap measurement is described. Preliminary results on Daphnia cucullata and Daphnia longispina are given. Estimations of average non-predatory mortality demonstrated a significant contribution o...

Zusammenfassung:A new method of estimating non-predatory mortality of zooplankton based on live/dead sorting and sediment trap measurement is described. Preliminary results on Daphnia cucullata and Daphnia longispina are given. Estimations of average non-predatory mortality demonstrated a significant contribution of this kind of mortality to total mortality.
