✦ Synopsis

Based on 388 parallel data of phytoplankton biomass and chlorophyll-a of two shallow lakes and two ponds, the following results were obtained : 1) Relative chlorophyll-a content of phytoplankton biomass varied between 0 .08-1 .88% ; chlorophyll-a concentration showed great differences among lakes . 2) Significant correlations (r = 0 .68-0 .92) were established between phytoplankton biomass and chlorophyll-a concentration . The regression in the artificial ponds was non-linear . 3) In parallel with the increase of average cell volume, a decrease in relative chlorophyll-a content was observed . A significant correlation (r = + 0 .83) between the two variables was found . Relative chlorophyll-a content of phytoplankton is a log-function of average cell volume .
