Total number of zoplankton taxa recorded varied from 7 to 35 among the lakes, and more densely vegetated lakes tended to harbor more number of taxa with rich cladcocerans. In a sand dune lake, L. Hiyamizu-numa, the zooplankton communities were richer in vegetated sites than in open water sites. Thus it is suggested that diversity of zooplankton communities depends on aquatic vegetation. Total density of zooplankton was significantly correlated with chlorophyll a concentration in the lake water. In many of the lakes, rotifers, especially Keratella cochlearis and Polyarthra spp. dominated in the open waters and densities of these two taxa were reversely correlated to each other, suggesting some competition between them. Comparing with past records, it is suggested that decrease of aquatic vegetation and increase of predation pressures by planktonivorous fish have changed from crustacean-dominated to rotifer-dominated zooplankton communities at least in some lakes., 弘前大学教育学部紀要. 101, 2009, p.41-53}, pages = {41--53}, title = {青森県・屏風山湖沼群における動物プランクトンの群集構造}, year = {2009} }
