Abstract
An attempt to assess the potential for food web manipulation as a means of improving water quality. It is intended to convey a novel and polythetic view of a lake ecosystem which would complement the traditional limnological approach.

The phytoplankton that commonly occur in Lake Mendota are the central focus of the food web research detailed in this volume, and the effects of herbivory are more variable and complicated.

This chapter describes the zooplankton of the Lake Mendota and, building on results from the preceding chapter on phytoplankon, evaluates patterns of herbivory in Lake MendOTA.

When this study began, relatively little was known about Lake Mendota’s piscivore community, including abundance, reproductive success, growth rates, diet, and distribution, so fundamental questions needed to be addressed before the course of the biomanipulation experiment could be predicted.

Historical records of the fish community indicate that species richness, species composition, and the abundance of individual taxa have changed dramatically in Lake Mendota from 1900 to 1989, yet most of the species present in 1900 continued to be present or abundant in the 1980s.

To effect the biomanipulation, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has undertaken an intensive walleye stocking program for Lake Mendota since 1987, and stocking is expected to continue through 1993, at which time theLake Mendota stocking program will be terminated.
