Patterns in the response of the biota of Karelian lakes to changes in the ion composition under the impact of mining mill wastewaters // Transactions of Karelian Research Centre of Russian Academy of Science.

Wastewater discharges from the Kostamuksha mining and ore concentration mill caused different responses from aquatic communities. Phytoplankton was the most resistant, whereas the stenobiotic species of zooplankton and zoobenthos disappeared at a low level of pollution. Eurybiotic zooplankton species, which are tolerant of a wide range of environmental factors, proved to be highly tolerant also of the human impact. The adaptation of eurybiotic species to conditions in the temporary waterbody resulted in their high tolerance of the mineral pollution. The different responses of aquatic organisms to the influence of the wastewaters is confirmed by toxicological experiments.
