THE success of future water quality standards and management programmes depends on an accurate assessment of factors determining the relative abundances of algal species. Physical and chemical factors are often considered1; biological controls are less commonly assessed although their potential importance is recognized2–4. Planktonic crustacea exhibit selective feeding behaviour ranging from passive size selection inDaphnia5to raptorial feeding in cyclopoid copepods6. Some algae are actively rejected7,8and others are poorly digested8–11by grazers.
