| | INTRODUCTION |
 | | In the first summer, a mass mortality of fish caused changes in the phytoplankton, which switched from the dominance of Cyanophyceae to Chlorophyceae and other groups. |
 | | Other correlations between number of eggs and some factors, such as temperature, salinity, Chlorophyceae, Cyanophyceae, and between B. plicatilis density and Cyanophyceae, Chlorophyceae and temperature, were not statistically significant. |
 | | Species of the latter, as well as Cyanophyceae in general, are considered a low-quality food, deficient in essential highly unsaturated fatty acids (DeMott and Müller-Navarra 1997, Gulati and DeMott 1997). |
