Abstract
Grazing of C. quadrangula from a Siberian forest pond on natural phytoplankton assemblages was studied in a modified flow-through system. Ceriodaphniastrongly selected subdominant Cryptomonas erosarather 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, it was concluded that Cryptomonaswas the principal algal food source for Ceriodaphnia.
