| Popis: | Annual changes in the quantitative characteristics and structure of zooplankton in the pelagic and littoral zones of Lake Sevan in October have been determined by a number of factors, among which the biomass of the main planktophage, whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus L., 1758), have the greatest effect. The richest communities form due to Cladocera upon a decreased biomass of whitefish, minimum increase in the water level, and high average monthly temperatures for the period of April–October. In the littoral zone, the zooplankton is affected by a number of unaccounted factors, and the influence of planktophagous fish, mainly inhabiting deepwater areas, is less pronounced. A significant increase in biomass of planktophagous fish in 2016–2017 leads to a reduction in the quantitative characteristics of zooplankton, resulting in decreased water clarity. |
