     The Great Masurian Lakes are a complex of interconnected lakes (25 in the main stream and several dozen in the direct watershed) of postglacial origin situated in north-eastern Poland.
Based on data from this region more than 600 scientific papers covering various aspects of lake functioning (hydrology, hydrobiology, ornithology, fishery etc.) were published through the 1990s.
The program is generally intended to follow the long-term changes in lakes trophic status and covers such aspects as: water chemistry (nutrients), phytoplankton, zooplankton and littoral higher vegetation.

The aim of the study was to test the hypothesis that the size distribution of sand grains in lake beach should affect the species composition, densities and body-size structure of psammon communities of Rotifera.
Studies were carried out in hydro-, hygro- and euarenal zones of 38 beaches (5 to 50 m long and 1 to 10 m wide) in 16 lakes of different trophic status and morphometry (Masurian Lakeland, Poland).
Investigations carried out in five Masurian lakes differing in trophic state and mixis showed that in most lakes the role of small cladocerans, copepods, rotifers and protozoans in the consumption of algal food and nutrient regeneration was more important than the role of large daphnids.
