| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In Lake Sanaru, dominant phytoplankton in summer was cyanobacterial genus Synechococcus, and that in winter was dinoflagellate genus Katodinium which is an edible prey for meso-zooplankton. Density of zooplankton was usually low relative to that in previous studies, especially in winter. 53 to 175% of Synechococcus abundance was consumed by grazing, and flagellates were probably the most important grazers. Hence, it is likely that the food web dynamics in Lake Sanaru is driven by microbial food web between Synechococcus and flagellates. Herbivorous food chain between eukaryotic phytoplankton and meso-zooplankton is less important, even if there is the plenty of edible preys for meso-zooplankton.
