Abstract: The effect of fish larvae on the diel vertical migration of the zooplankton community was investigated in two tropical lakes, Finado Raimundo and Pintado lakes, Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil. Nocturnal and diurnal samplings were conducted in the limnetic region of each lake for 10 consecutive months from April 2008 to January 2009. The zooplankton community presented a wide range of responses to the predation pressure exerted by fish larvae in both environments, while fish larvae showed a typical pattern of… Show more

“…There is broad consensus that for several fish genera the decline in light during dusk stimulates ascension, whereas increasing light of dawn induces descend to hypolimnion (Scheuerell & Schindler, 2003;Busch & Mehner, 2009;Probst & Eckmann, 2009;Picapedra et al, 2015). However, some species do not show clear daily variations, but can form aggregations during the day and disperse at night (Jensen et al, 2003).…”

“…Only a few studies on the interaction of fish and zooplankton have been carried out in Brazilian floodplains (e.g., Picapedra et al, 2015). In the field of fish-environment interactions stand out the studies by Zaret (1984) and Previatelli & Santos-Silva (2011), which assessed zooplankton consumed by fish in terms of composition, distribution, and density in floodplain lakes.…”

“…This includes light-dark or day-night cycles, which are bright or dark periods separated by brief crepuscular periods (dusk, dawn) when light changes rapidly, and the decrease of light during the nightfall that stimulates the migration of larvae toward surface layers, while the increase of illumination in the morning induces the movement to deeper layers (Donner and Eckmann, 2011;Mehner, 2012;Picapedra et al, 2015). During crepuscular periods, light levels minimize the risk of predation and allow the visualization of food in the surface layers (Scheuerell and Schindler, 2003).…”

“…Stratified waterbodies therefore offer greater scope of discrete depth-habitats for diverse zooplankton to inhabit (Bini et al, 2001). The observed distribution patterns are the outcome of active movement of organisms in response to shifts in habitat quality (Mendonça et al, 2015;Picapedra et al, 2015) or passive vertical transport generated by mixing events (Kramer et al, 1997).…”
