“…Furthermore, temperature and food in the epilimnion are useful for the zooplankton in this region, but the highest fish predation is seen at this layer, as well. Trade-offs exist between feeding and predator avoidance (Burns and Mitchell, 1980;Masson et al, 2001;Andersen et al, 2004;Ignoffo et al, 2005). The composition and dynamics of the zooplankton community are affected by interspecies competition and selective predation pressures.…”
