The modern state and functioning of the zooplankton community of Lake Munozero has been assessed. The species composition and dominant zooplankton complex of Lake Munozero has not changed since the 1950s. The Shannon-Weaver index in terms of biomass corresponds to the oligo- and mesotrophic type of lakes in the northwestern and southern areas of the lake, respectively. Saprobity indicators refer to the p-mesosaprobic zone (moderately polluted water). Seasonal changes in the zooplankton community correspond to the dynamics common for the lakes of Karelia. Zooplankton community of the southern area of Lake Munozero is under anthropogenic load, this is expressed in noticeable differences in the species composition, Shannon-Weaver index, saprobity index, and in quantitative and functional characteristics.

Introduction
Lake Munozero is located in the southern Karelia, Russia. The reservoir stands out among other lakes of the region. The lake water is weakly colored (8 mg PtL-1 scale, 8 points), it contains a small amount of humic organic substances and are relatively highly mineralized (97.8 mgL-1) in comparison with other water bodies of the Republic of Karelia. The mineralization of most Karelian lakes lies in the range of 15-40 mgL-1, on average, 25 mgL-1 (Filatov and Kukharev, 2013). The lake is stretched along north-southwards axis and has a complex two-bladed shape. The lake reaches have different depths and vary in level of anthropogenic load. The Spasskaya Guba village locates on the southern shore of the lake; in addition, the southern region of the lake is affected by the sewage of the Dvortsy and Marcialnye Vody health resorts. The northern shore of the lake belongs to the protected area of the Kivach State Nature Reserve. According to A.V. Sabylina and
O.I. Ikko (Sabylina and Ikko, 2019), the north-western reach of Lake Munozero has low BOD5 values (0.580.75 mgL-1); in the southern part of the reservoir, these values are higher twofold (0.69-2.12 mg L-1). The content of suspended solids in the lake waters is low and varies from 0.6 to 2.0 mgL-1. The concentration of total phosphorus also varies significantly between regions. In the north-western part of the lake, it averages 8 ^g-L-1, in the southern part, 12 ^g-L-1. The concentration of total nitrogen in the north-western reach is 0.01-0.17 mgL-1, in the southern, 0.010.24 mgL-1. In general, the north-western region of Lake Munozero corresponds to the oligotrophic type; in the southern region, the development of eutrophication processes is noted. Since the 1990s, the large-scale overgrowth of the littoral of the southern reaches of the lake is observed; therefore, in this part of the lake, the enrichment with organic matter and nutrients occurs not only due to the discharge of domestic wastewater,
but also due to the process of decomposition of higher aquatic vegetation.
In recent decades, in Karelia, an increase in average annual air temperature, as well as in the annual amount of atmospheric precipitation have been observed (Nazarova, 2014), accompanied by a predominance of mild winters, weak freezing of the soil, and by an increase in runoff from wetlands in winter time (Kalinkina et al., 2019). Such environmental changes affect the functioning of aquatic communities. Thus, an increase in water color leads to a decrease in the productivity of lake phytoplankton (Jones, 1992), shrinkage of the body size of crustacean plankton (Soranno et al., 1993), and a decrease in the fish growth rate (Rask et al., 2000). A change in the temperature regime leads to a redistribution of certain groups and species of zooplankton (Izmest'eva et al., 2016; Lazareva and Sokolova, 2013), as well as to the shifts in their life cycles (Adrian et al., 2006). Therefore, the study of functioning of the zooplankton community has to be performed throughout the growing season, taking into account the seasonality of the processes.
The study aims to assess the current state and functioning of the zooplankton community of Lake Munozero.
Materials and methods
Lake Munozero belongs to the basin of the Shuya River and the watershed area of the Baltic Sea. The total area of the lake is 13.2 km2, the maximum depth is 55.0 m, the average depth is 14.4 m, the water volume is 0.19 km3 (Filatov and Kukharev, 2013).
The studies were conducted in May, July, and September 2018 at the stations located in the north-western (depth 39.5 m) and southern (depth 19.0 m) reaches of the lake. The samples were taken and processed using standard methods (Vinberg and Lavrentyeva, 1984). The zooplankton sampling has been performed by Juday net (opening diameter of 18 cm, mesh size of 100 ^m) in the water layers of 0-5 m, 5-10 m, and 10 m-bottom. The counting of organisms was carried out taking into account the size-sex-age groups. Taxonomic identification of species was performed according to the "Key to Zooplankton and Zoobenthos of the Fresh Waters of the European Part of Russia. Volume 1" (Alekseev and Tsalolikhin, 2010). The biomass was calculated according to the body size-body weight ratios for the studied groups of hydrobionts (Balushkina and Vinberg, 1979). The calculations were performed for each size-sex-age group of each species, then the obtained values were summarized by samples, and the weighted average has been calculated for particular station.
Production and functional characteristics were calculated by the physiological method using coefficients generally accepted for zooplankton (Vinberg
and Lavrentyeva, 1984). The lower limit of dominance was set as 10% of the total abundance. The Shannon-Weaver diversity index was calculated for each station by season using the weighted average of the species biomass in the water column. The sap-robity index was calculated taking into account the saprobic characteristics of species adjusted for the water bodies of Karelia (Kulikova, 1983).
Results and discussion
During the study period, 35 species and taxonomic groups with a rank below the genus (Copepoda -
8 species, Cladocera - 15 species, and Rotifera - 12 species) have been registered in the pelagic zone of Lake Munozero (Table 1).
The number of species varied seasonally from 18-19 in the spring up to 25-28 in the summer. The crustaceans Thermocyclops oithonoides, Daphnia (D.) cristata, Bosmina (E.) cf. coregoni, and rotifers of the genus Asplanchna formed the basis of the summer plankton community of the entire lake. In all seasons, a large relic crustacean Limnocalanus ma-crurus was registered. Due to more favorable thermal and trophic conditions, a greater number of species were recorded in the southern reach (35 versus 27); they were mainly presented by cladocerans Limno-sida frontosa, Sida crystallina, Daphnia (D.) galeata, Daphnia (D.) longispina, and Alonella nana. In addition, copepod Eurytemora lacustris and rotifer Laci-nularia ismailoviensis were noted in the southern areas of the lake. Therefore, the zooplankton of Lake Munozero was represented by the species, which were usual for the deep lakes of Karelia. The species composition and dominant zooplankton complex of Lake Munozero has not changed since the 1950s, when comparing our results with the data obtained in previous years (Gordeeva-Pertseva, 1957; Il'mast et al. 2015; Kulikova, 2004;). The number of identifiable species (30-40) depended on the methodological peculiarities and study area.
The Shannon-Weaver index in terms of biomass ranged as 2.52-2.88 from season to season in the northwestern reaches of the lake, in the southern reaches, from 2.18 to 2.81. According to I.N. Andro-nikova (1996), this range of index values corresponds to the oligo- and mesotrophic lake types.
The saprobity indices have been changing little: from 1.60 (spring) to 1.70 (summer - autumn) in the northwestern region of the lake, in the southern region, from 1.70 (spring and autumn) to 1.74 (summer). Saprobity indices correspond to the p-mesosaprobic zone, or moderately polluted water (Derevenskaya, 2015). In both lake areas, the share of mesotrophic indicator species ranged from 55% to 70% of the species list.
During the studied growing season, the abundance of zooplankton in the northwestern reach changed by
9 times, biomass, by 43 times; in the southern reach,

their values varied by 14 and 63 times, respectively (Table 2). The lowest values of quantitative parameters were observed in May, when zooplankton had not yet begun its active development. The maximum values in the northern reach were recorded in the summer, in the southern reach, in the autumn.
Such a difference may be explained by the time shift of the summer maximum of zooplankton in the reaches. Probably, a later start of the decline of the parameters in the southern area in autumn has been caused by more favorable thermal conditions.
Summer quantitative indicators of the lake zooplankton were comparable to those obtained in 2005 (Il'mast et al., 2015). According to the scale suggested by S.P. Kitaev (Kitaev, 2007), the summer biomass of zooplankton of the northwestern reach of the lake reflected the oligotrophic status of the plankton community; in the area of the southern
reach, the a-mesotrophic level in the summer and р-mesotrophic status in the autumn were observed, which indicated an increase in the food supply in this area. Probably, the high quantitative indicators registered in September 2018 were a consequence of the temperature regime of the certain year, but not the long-term characteristic of the lake.
Seasonal changes of the structure of zooplankton community of Lake Munozero are natural for the lakes of Karelia. Usually, the copepods form the basis of the zooplankton community in early spring and autumn (Table 3). When the water is warmed up in late spring, the role of rotifers increases; in the warm summer period, the number of cladocerans does do. The changes of the structure of zooplankton communities were not synchronous in the studied areas; during the survey period, they were at different phases of seasonal development. Regard must be paid to the

dominating of cladocerans in the southern reach in the summer, which indicates a higher level of trophy than that observed in the northern reach.
The vertical distribution of zooplankton in the north-western and the southern areas was somewhat different. In spring, rotifers and copepods constituted the main part of the zooplankton community by abundance at all depths due to the dominance of Kellicottia longispina and Conochilus unicornis (Rotifera) and to the development of Thermocyclops oithonoides and nauplii of Cyclopida (Copepoda). More than a half (6070%) of the zooplankton community of the north-western and southern reaches were concentrated in the upper 5-m water layer (Fig. 1). In the spring, favorable temperature and trophic conditions evolve in the surface layers for the plankton development.
In summer, cladocerans and copepods dominated in the 0-10-m water layer. The main role belonged to Daphnia (D.) cristata, Bosmina (E.) cf. coregoni,
and Thermocyclops oithonoides. In the southern part, the dominants were also Bosmina (E.) cf. longispina and Mesocyclops leuckarti. At the end of July, with heating of the water masses, the main part of the zooplankton kept in the 5-10-m water layer in both the north-western and the southern areas. In the north-western reach, rotifers Kellicottia longispina and Asplanchna sp. played the leading role. In the southern reach, three groups of zooplankton had an approximately equal share due to Bosmina (E.) cf. longispina, Daphnia (D.) cristata, species of the genus Asplanchna and nauplii of Cyclopoida in the water layer of 10-20 m.
In autumn, Eudiaptomus gracilis, Mesocyclops leuckarti, Thermocyclops oithonoides, and Daphnia (D.) cristata prevailed at all depths. In the north-western reach, Kellicottia longispina was also the dominant species; in the southern reach, they were Bosmina (E.) cf. coregoni and the species of the genus

Asplanchna. The maximum zooplankton abundance in the north-western part of the lake was noted in the surface layer, similar to that in spring; in the southern part, in a water layer of 10-20 m. In the southern reach, the share of cladocerans and the copepod Eudiaptomus gracilis was almost twofold higher than that in the north-western reach; this explained the difference in the vertical distribution of the zooplankton.
The functional characteristics of zooplankton reflect our ideas about the matter and energy fluxes in the studied community. The flux depends on the zooplankton biomass, the community structure, and ambient temperature. Daily production and other characteristics of the community were minimal in the spring, at low temperatures and when slowly growing copepods dominated. The maximum rates of consumption, destruction, and production of zooplankton in the north-western area were observed in the summer and then decreased markedly by autumn. The daily functional values for the zooplankton in the southern reach in July and September were approximately equal; most likely, their maxima occurred in August (between the sampling in July and September) (Table 4).
In general, the functioning of the zooplankton community in the southern part of the lake is more intense, which is ensured by better food availability for the filter-feeding species due to an increase in the lake trophicity (Sabylina and Ikko, 2019).
It is believed that the flow of matter and energy passing through the community of pelagic zooplankton is commensurate with the ration of non-predator filterfeeders (Table 5). A part of the matter and energy
is lost during assimilation, a part is spent for the respiration, the rest forms secondary production and is used for the biomass increase (growth).
In Lake Munozero, the P/B coefficient, reflecting the intensity of production per unit of biomass, corresponded to oligotrophic type planktonic systems. The zooplankton productivity in the north-western part of Lake Munozero was almost three times less than that in the southern part (Table 5).
Conclusions
The species composition and dominant zooplankton complex of Lake Munozero has not changed since the 1950s. The Shannon-Weaver index in terms of biomass corresponds to the oligo-and mesotrophic type of lakes in the northwestern and southern areas of the lake, respectively. Saprobity indicators refer to the р-mesosaprobic zone (moderately polluted water). Seasonal changes in the zooplankton community correspond to the dynamics common for the lakes of Karelia.
Zooplankton community of the southern reach of Lake Munozero is under anthropogenic load, which leads to noticeable differences in species composition, Shannon-Weaver index, saprobity index, and in quantitative and functional characteristics.
