- Abstract
This paper presents results on zooplankton studies of Lake Kotokel which is located in the immediate vicinity of Lake Baikal. The authors studied taxonomic composition, biodiversity, structure, seasonal and spatial dynamics of zooplankton during ice and free-ice periods. Data on species composition and quantitative parameters of zooplankton were compared with those obtained for 1966, 1979 and 1986 (Antipova, Pomazkova, 1971; Sorokina, 1982; Dzyumenko, 1988). Results of zooplankton research (diversity, a number of species-indicators of trophic level, a number of species in the structure-forming complex, biomass diversity, maximal and average abundance and biomass, and a curve of seasonal dynamics) confirm that Lake Kotokel is of a mesotrophic type.
