✦ Synopsis

Using samples taken from the River Niger before and after impoundment and from the River Swashi, changes in numbers and species composition are analysed . Lake Kainji showed much greater development of zooplankton than in the rivers . The cladoceran Moina micrura and the rotifers Brachionusfalcatus and B. caudatus were relatively more abundant in the rivers than in the lake, whilst the reverse was true of Bosmina spp . and Tropodiaptomus banforanus.
