We studied mesozooplankton dynamics in the Tristeza arm of lake Nahuel Huapi. Mesozooplankton biomass, size and vertical distribution showed marked seasonal fluctuations. Mesozooplankton was represented by seven species. We document for the first time the existence of Daphnia cf. pulex in this lake.
