✦ Synopsis
Some information, based upon a ten years study, is given on the ecology of Rhinoglena fertiiensis, a cold stenothermic rotifer. The largest numbers were always found during winter months under ice. A remarkable increase in population density is recorded throughout the investigation and is explained by the good quality of the food supply and a parallel increase in its abundance. The dynamics of this species appear to be closely connected with water temperature gradients. The distribution of Rhinoglena fertiiensis is discussed in connection with water chemistry. 161 Hydrobiologia 73, 161-167 (1980).
