Impact DescriptionHymenomonas roseola can reach high abundances in ponds, small lakes, and the backwaters of polluted rivers, particularly in eutrophic conditions. In instances of high abundance, the impact of Hymenomonas roseola on predator-prey relationships is unknown. The impact on predator-prey relationships is less likely in the Great Lakes because Hymenomonas roseola is known to occur primarily in the littoral region of larger lakes and does not reach high abundances in large bodies of water.
