Comparative vertical structure of populations of two relict copepod species in lakes of Belarus
Abstract
The paper presents results of studies daily vertical distribution of two relict copepod species in the lakes of Belarus — Limnocalanus macrurus (Sars, 1863) and Eurytemora lacustris (Poppe, 1887). These species live in the hypolimnion in summer and belong to the cold-loving fauna, but their distribution has specific features. E. lacustris has two density peaks due to its structure of different ages and is located higher relative to the bottom than L. macrurus, which is characterized by a single bottom population growth.
