DEVELOPMENT OF LITTORAL ZOOPLANKTON AND ITS ROLE IN FISH-PRODUCTIVITY OF DNIEPR RESERVOIR

Zooplankton production in littoral biotopes of Dnieprovskoe reservoir has been researched. The greatest level of zooplankton production per cubic meter has been found out in sites filled with submerged plants, the site localization along the reservoir played the secondary role. In the conditions of the anthropogenic pressure the main part of zooplankton production is created by Copepoda.
