This book aims to bridge the gap between ecotoxicology and limnology. It provides an ecotoxicological perspective on lake management and describes eutrophication of shallow, temperate lakes. It surveys the influence of toxic substances (eg. agricultural pesticides) on the aquatic ecosystem, especially the relation between algae and daphnids.
