Comparison of Limnological Characteristics and Distribution and Abundance of Littoral Macroinvertebrates and Zooplankton in Fish-bearing and Fishless Lakes of Lassen Volcanic National Park
Parker M. 2008. Comparison of Limnological Characteristics and Distribution and Abundance of Littoral Macroinvertebrates and Zooplankton in Fish-bearing and Fishless Lakes of Lassen Volcanic National Park.

The Stocking of non-native fishes into lakes of Lassen Volcanic National Park (LVPN) was discontinued in the late 1970s and many lakes have sice returned to a fishless condition. Due to a lack of comprehensive surveys, however, present fish distributions were largley unknown as were impacts of fish predation on native biota. Here we present results of a study examining the distribution of introduces fishes and their ongoing effects on littoral macroinvertebrates and zooplankton assemblages among larger (>2m deep), natural alkes and ponds likely to have been stocked in the past.
