โœฆ Synopsis


The energy transfer a t different trophic levels in a temperate lake ecasysteni locally called Sar (lake) has been investigated. Total phytoplankton production in terms of energy fixation has been estimated at 3.2 x 106 cal m-2 y-', out of which the fish harvest amounts t o 2640 cal m-2y-l. The conversion efficiency from phytoplankton t o fish has been est'imated a t 0.082 O , ' , , . Apart from other ecological parameters discussed in the paper, suggestions for the efficient use of other available energy from the system has been highlighted.

A comprehensive study of phyto-and zooplankton and macrozoobenthic components in Lake Xainital showed that species richness was high for plankton and low for macrozoobenthos. The algal biomass was dominated by greens (54 O/") and blue-greens (31 4"), the zooplankton population by copepods (84 O/o),
