Tne predation impact of Cyclops vicinus on rotifers was studied under near-natural con- ditions in small enclosures to evaluate whether copepod predation is responsible for the decline of rotifers in Lake Constance in spring. Cyclops vicinus fed selectively on Synchaela spp.; Keratella and Polyarthra spp. were not selected for. Predation rates increased with prey density up to a maximum of 37 Synchaela day1 at a density of 1.6 x 10 6 Synchaeta m~2, i.e. at -1200 Synchaeta I"1. Calculation of cropping rates suggests that Cyclops alone can control the abundance of Synchaeta in spring, i.e. that mainly Cyclops is responsible for the decline of Synchaeta species in Lake Constance in May.
