`In summary, this book should be of interest to many researchers. Even though most contributions have a fundamental science background, it could be of use to water managers, and others working in the applied end of the scientific spectrum as well.' Archiv für Hydrobiologie, 145:2 (1999) `... the present book offers a valuable contribution to our understanding of planktonic ecology, and can be recommended for both the student and the `expert'. The four introductory chapters offer the general insight, and among the remaining case-studies and experiments there is something of interest for any scientist and manager in the field.'
