The chemistry of 53 lakes at various stages of acidification and inhabited (at the presence and/or in the past) by pelagic Crustacea was studied in September 1984. Ten of these lakes were investigated in detail biannually (July and October 1987-1990). The July results reflect the influence of snowme

✦ Synopsis
Concentrations of total phosphorus (TP) and chlorophyll a (CHLA) were measured in 28 lakes in the High Tatra Mountains (Slovakia) from 1983 to 1990. The relationship between log CHLA and log TP in the Tatra lakes is similar to relationships developed for lakes in other regions, but variation is higher. A part of this variation is caused by acidification of the lakes. In the lakes with pH between 4.9 and 6.3 the CHLA concentrations are often extremely low while TP concentrations decreased, but not as drastically.
