Impact ID8379
Impact TypeEnvironmental Water Quality
Study TypeObservational
Study LocationField
Impact DescriptionBased on findings in the Baltic Sea and Gulf of Finland, it has been predicted that increased predation pressure on zooplankton caused by increases in Cercopagis pengoi (fishhook flea) abundance could lead to an increase in phytoplankton abundance and an eventual shift in the energy fluxes and eutrophication rates in an ecosystem.
