✦ Synopsis
SeasonaI variation in population density, birth mtc, mortality and production of a daphnid WLS st,udied in a high, altitnde sub-tropical lake. A bimodal growth curve with maxima during summer and autumn was observed. A positive correlation was reported between fecundity and death rate, probably due to a difference in age specific death rate combined with a high relative frequency of juveniles in a growing population. The production of Daphnia longispina correlates better with temperature than with food. The P/B ratio was higher during summer and autumn months.
