Abstract/Summary:
Our results suggest that water clarity is decisive for the habitat choice of large-bodied zooplankton and that introduction of APB as a restoration measure to enhance zooplankton survival is only a useful tool when water clarity increases following loading reduction. Our results indicate that dense APB will be the most efficient.
