Annotation	Predation by cyclopoid copepods (Cyclops vicinus Uljanin, 1857, Acanthocyclops robustus (G. O. Sars, 1863), C. strenuus, Fischer, 1851) was measured in field experiments in the pond Velký Pálenec (SW Bohemia, Czech Republic) during two consecutive years. The cyclopoid copepods fed on all common species of rotifers and also on the young larvae of copepods and in some periods also on Daphnia spp. and other cladocerans. The predatory impact of cyclopoid copepod feeding may influence considerably the populations of other zooplankters.
