Different effects of planktonic invertebrate predators and fish on the plankton community in experimental mesocosms
The impact of fish and cyclopoid copepod predation on zooplankton communities was evaluated using large-volume mesocosms. The overall strong effect of fish over cyclopoid predation suggests the main role of fish predation in the forming of zooplankton communities and in turn impacting phytoplankton biomass in mesocosms.
