FEEDING OF VENDACE IN LAKE MIEDWIE (NW POLAND)
Kazimierz Więski
ABSTRACT
The Lake Miedwie vendace feeding was studied in summer 2000. The vendace food was found to contain 7 zooplankton species, Leptodora kindtii being a clear dominant in terms of weight, abundance, and frequency. The L. kindtii domination was maintained throughout the period of study. In late summer, stomachs of females contained less food than those of males did. The observations are discussed against a backdrop provided by results of an earlier zooplankton study.
Key words: vendace, food composition, feeding, zooplankton, Leptodora kindtii..
