Zooplankton and trophic status of Peipsi-Pihkva Lake

Cherevichko A.V.  

Long-term studies of the zooplankton of Chudsko-Pskovskoe (Peipsi-Pihkva) Lake have shown that the species composition and structure of the community correspond to those of eutrophic waters. Intensification of the eutrophication of the lake in the period from the beginning of the 1990s to the early 2000s has been revealed. The dynamics of zooplankton biomass in recent decades indicates a slowdown in the process of eutrophication. The main characteristics of zooplankton indicate a higher trophic level in Lake Pskov, which is smaller in area and shallower than Lake Peipsi.
