The littoral fauna of Llyn Celyn, North Wales

Abstract
Water level fluctuations of up to 5.5 m in the newly constructed reservoir, Llyn Celyn, were shown to result in a uniformly barren littoral zone in which Lumbriculidae, Pisidium sp. and Chironomidae were the only animals to occur in significant numbers throughout the year. Other groups of animals were unable to survive the big fluctuations in water level and this in turn affected the food and growth of trout in the environment.
