This species has superior exploitation competitive ability for commonly consumed algal prey in emerging low food niches. However, this advantage wanes with increasing food abundance.

Field
|
Cyclops kolensis has the potential to reduce the abundance of its prey. As a consequence of their population growth, Cyclops kolensis reduced the abundance of their preferred prey, Epischura. It is possible that Cyclops kolensis may compete with other organisms that feed on Epischura.

In Baikal Lake, Cyclops kolensis was abundant years 1946 and 1950 and reached 80–90% of the total zooplankton biomass. C. kolensis, through predation, reduced the abundance and biomass of Epischura.
