摘要
A Hexarthra bulgarica population was studied over one summer in a high-elevation lake of the southern Andes. A brief description of specimens is included. The zooplankton is composed of this species and the calanoid copepod Pseudoboeckella gibbosa. The lake lacks vertebrate predators. Analysis of Pseudoboeckella guts showed that its omnivorous diet included Hexarthra. A biogeographical comparison is made between this and other American high-elevation lakes. It is concluded that the Hexarthra population is controlled by predation and by extreme abiotic conditions.
