Description:
Distribution, abundance and life history characteristics of Mysis relicta were studied in the Feldberg Lake District (Lake Breiter Luzin, Lake Schmaler Luzin, Lake Zansen) located in northeastern Germany. Between July 2001 and November 2002 mysids were collected by vertical net hauls. In order to determine the impact of the current trophic conditions on the distribution of mysids in these lakes, oxygen concentration, total phosphorus, chlorophyll a and water transparency were also measured. All investigated lakes are mesotrophic at present. Lake Breiter Luzin exhibited great seasonal and spatial variations in mysid abundance. Density of adults and juveniles had a mean of 44.9 +/- 57.1 and 68.7 +/- 99.6 m^-^2, respectively. Highest abundance of adults was 110.4 +/- 76.5 m^-^2 in summer, lowest abundances of 2.0 +/- 4.0 m^-^2 occurred in spring. For juveniles, highest density of 218.4 +/- 174.6 m^-^2 was detected in summer and lowest of 0.8 +/- 1.8 m^-^2 in winter. No mysids were caught in any of the daytime hauls, but they were widely distributed throughout the water column at night. Size frequency distribution of mysids suggested that reproduction occurred year-round, the most consistent influx of juveniles occurred in early summer and a smaller second cohort in autumn. Highest mysid abundance was 189.2 +/- 318.6 adults and 127.0 +/- 66.3 juveniles m^-^2 in Lake Schmaler Luzin, and 59.6 +/- 5.6 adults and 79.4 +/- 11.2 juveniles m^-^2 in Lake Zansen. There were great spatial differences in abundance in both lakes.
