Abstract

Lake Qarun is an inland closed saline basin, used as a reservoir for agriculture drainage water. The Zooplank – Phytoplankton- interface was studied through 3 in situ experiments.The major conclusion that can be drawn from this study is that zooplankton play a major role in regulation of phytoplaukton biomass in lake Qarun during Summer. The grazing pressure of zoopiankton was mainly on the nano & pico phytoplanktonic fraction. Brachionus plicatilis was reported to ‘feed exclusively on Niizschia sigtna and N. frustulum var. perpnsilla.
