assemblages was studied in a modified flow-through system. Ceriodaphnia strongly
selected subdominant Cryptomonas erosa rather than the dominant diatoms of comparable
size. Using Cryptomonas as the sole microalgae food, Ceriodaphnia demonstrated
significant somatic and population growth. Seasonal biomass maximum of Ceriodaphnia
and Cryptomonas coincidedin the pond. Although bacterial component cannot be excluded …
