Abstract |
Objectives were to determine the rotifer, copepod, and cladoceran fauna of Flathead Lake and to describe the diel and temporal variations of density and spatial distribution as influenced by physical and chemical features of the lake. Another objective was the recovery of records, notes, and collections of previous investigators, such that irregularities in the published literature might be corrected or confirmed. Because few collections of any sort remain in Biological Station or University of Montana Museums, an attempt was made to locate museums, universities, and individuals who may have or may know the location of Flathead Lake zooplankton collections. |
