“…The emphasis on variance distinguishes the trophic cascade hypothesis from otherwise similar ideas of Hairston et al (1960) Brocksen et al (1970 Oksanen et al (198 l), and Persson et al (1988). The temporal variability of lakes is the proving ground of the cascade hypothesis.…”

“…The mean body-length of crustacean species is significantly smaller in shallow lakes (Table 8). Persson et al (1988) questioned the use of a simple regression approach to analyse the interactions between different trophic levels of a food web. They argued that, although the biomass of the different trophic levels is significantly related to the nutrient loading, substantial variance remains unexplained.…”

“…Most of these studies dealt with the biomass and production of phytoplankton, in particular with the factors regulating the biomass of phytoplankton as measured by chlorophyll a concentrations (see Dillon & Rigler 1974 Moreover, variability in food-web structure and topdown control among lakes could have significant impact on the ecological processes and on the regulation of the different trophic levels (see Carpenter et al 1985, Persson et al 1988, Power 1992, Lacroix et al 1996. The relative importance of bottom-up control versus top-down control could partly depend upon lake morphometry and mixing regime.…”

“…The introduction of shrimp (Mysis relicta) into Iakes resulted in réductions in salmon with ultimately négative effects on bears and eagles (SPENCER et al, 1991). There is increasing évidence that fishes as predators indirectiy influence components of the lower food web via the direct effects of prédation transmitted through trophic cascades (CARPENTER, 1988 ;CARPENTER & KITCHELL, 1988 ;MCQUEEN et al, 1986 ;PARSONS, 1992 ;PERSSON et al, 1988 ;POWER, 1990 ;POWER et al, 1985). Even water quality may be influenced by fish predators at the top of aquatic food webs, although there is some debate about the generality of the phenomenon (DEMELO et al, 1992 ;KITCHELL et al, 1986).…”
