Abstrakt: The results of the study of the seasonal dynamics of the planktonic fauna of Lake Vashozero, South Karelia, and the feeding pattern of vendace introduced to this lake from Lake Onega are reported. Lake Vashozero is of β-mesotrophic–ά-eutrophic type, as indicated by the abundance of zooplankton. Analysis of the feeding of vendace shows that the various planktonic groups of Cladocera and Copepoda make up 95% of its food ration. In spite of a planktonic type of feeding, vendace demonstrates flexibility to the use of benthic organisms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
