Spatial Structure of Zooplankton inside Lakes

Abstract

This paper describes spatial distribution of zooplankton inside lakes based on observational results. Lake A partially has vegetated bank, while Pond B is characterized by two different parts, an artificial shore and a naturally vagetated basin. Zooplankton was sampled at several points including near the vegetated bank and non-vegetated bank, together with phytoplankton concentration and other water quality parameters. It was found that the zooplankton concentration has a close relationship with vegetation and phytoplankton concetration.
