Phytoplankton, zooplankton, and macrozoobenthos of some small lakes (Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia)

Zhdanova S.M. , Pryanichnikova E.G.  , Semenova A.S., Sidelev S.I., Belyakov E.A. , Sokolova A.S.

In total, 92 taxa of cyanobacteria and phytoplankton algae, 76 zooplankton species, and 26 lower definable taxa of macrozoobenthos were registered during hydrobiological studies at four small lakes of the Yaroslavl Oblast in 2013–2015 and 2018. According to indicators of phytoplankton and zooplankton, Lake Ryumnikovo had the lowest trophic status (mesotrophic), but both the maximum diversity and abundance of macrozoobenthos. Lakes Vashutinskoe, Chashnitskoe and Zaozer'e were eutrophic, the macrozoobenthos diversity and abundance there were low, partly due to the water bloom effect and hydrogen sulfide accumulation.
