Depth distribution of zooplankton in relation to limnological gradients under different stratification and interannual regimes in a deep, tropical crater lake
Lake Bosumtwi showed distinct vertical structuring of the water column but seasonal variation was low. Chaoborus performed extensive diel vertical migration. Most species dwelt continuously in the epilimnion with no migratory activity. Strategies for coexistence were spatial overlap among competitors and spatial segregation with predators.
