Studies in five productive humic lakes of low fish pressure indicated that taxonomic groups of zooplankton are determined by a different set of environmental variables, which explains very low species richness of zooplankton. Due to sharp thermal gradient in the lakes biomass of herbivores is reduced which promotes development of phytoplankton.
