Description
Daphnia (Daphnia) galeata Sars, 1863.
Common planktonic species, found in all large lakes, except Lake Tou, and in smaller water bodies, not abundant in November, very abundant and usually dominant in January and March. Few males and ephippial females were present in some November samples; January and March samples contained only parthenogenetic females.
