“…Apart from the above-mentioned factors, toxic cyanobacteria might also affect herbivore zooplankton either directly or indirectly. Difference in tolerance of zooplankton species against toxic Microcystis was considered to be one of the reasons for zooplankton succession with Microcystis blooms (Guo and Xie, 2006). In Dianchi Lake, MC-containing and MC-free strains usually coexisted, but largesized Microcystis (over 100 m) accounting for approximately 80% of the total biomass (unpublished data) could account for the potentially high concentration of MCs (Wang et al, 2013).…”

“…In Meiliang Bay of Lake Taihu, Yang et al (2006) reported that the intracellular microcystins concentration increased from 0.22 lg l -1 to 0.83 lg l -1 during our study period. Guo et al (2006) reported that small-sized cladocerans may develop stronger tolerance against toxic Microcystis than large-sized ones. In general, phytoplankton diversity is thought to be one of the main factors determining the seasonal succession of crustacean zooplankton .…”

“…Body growth, reproduction, and age-specific tolerance (GST activity towards a special substrate as a marker) always differ if energy strategies are compared in different cladoceran species (Fulton and Paerl 1987b). Small-bodied zooplankton, such as Ceriodaphnia and Bosmina, always exhibit more flexible responses to changing food conditions and stronger resistance to toxic Cyanobacteria, which cause great mortality in large-bodied zooplankton species such as D. carinata (Guo and Xie 2006). These small-bodied zooplankters may have high GST activity in animals exposed to PNBC, so that Daphnia spp.…”
