Ciliategrazing on picoplankton in a eutrophic reservoir during the summer phytoplankton maximum: A study at the species and community level

In late summer 1993 an intensive study was carried out on protozoan grazing in the epilimnion and metalimnion of the eutrophic Rímov Reservoir in south Bohemia. On average, ∼ 70% of bacterial production was consumed by heterotrophic flagellates and 20% by ciliates. Ciliate numbers increased from 5 t... View More
