[The role of carnivorous zooplankton in dynamics of trophic interaction of fish and plankton].
A conceptual (minimal) model of the aquatic community is proposed, which includes phytoplankton, zooplankton, fish and fish larvae. It is shown that carnivorous zooplankton increases the system stability when the fish predation changes. As a result, the system collapse followed by algal bloom becomes less probable.
