Notes
Of the rotifers inhabiting the shallow eutrophic Barther Bodden, the pelagic species feeding on fresh detritus comprising dead diatoms and green algae are of particular importance in terms of biological production. The submodel presented here refers only to this functional group (Filinia longiseta, Brachionus quadridentatus and Keratella cochlearis). The biological situation, the working hypotheses, the equation system, the measured values and coefficients used and the wiring diagram are given. The curves obtained with the model are shown in detail and tested against various criteria. Agreement between the model curves and the measured data is good.
