Evaluation visuelle des peuplements et populations de poissons: méthodes et problèmes. (The underwater observation of fish communities and fish populations. Methods and problems)
Following the symposium held in June 1984 at Port Cros, the methods of underwater observation of fish communities and populations are critically reviewed. Particular emphasis is laid upon the possible causes of bias, and the ways of circumventing
Commonly accepted theories of zooplankton species distribution hold that: 1. large-bodied zooplankton species are excluded by fish predation and so are found only in lakes and ponds without fish| and 2. because small-bodied species are unable
to compete successfully against large ones and also are preyed upon heavily by invertebrate predators, they exist primarily in lakes with fish. This pattern is not followed in a group of lakes and ponds in arctic Alaska. Some of these lakes were found
to support both large and small zooplankton species along with populations of facultative planktivorous fish. Other lakes that had no fish had a small-bodied zooplankton species co-existing with a more typical large-bodied community. Close analysis
