Despite a high diversity of the indices of its numbers, biomass, and dimensional structure the studied population was found to be stable. It is likely that a stable state of D. polymorpha population in the system of the Konin lakes was conditioned by the increase in its biotic diversity related to a wide variety of the environmental conditions, in particular to a great diversity of biotopes. %8 2003-06-01
