title: [Deterministic analysis as a tool to investigate the contingency of various components of biocenosis].
abstract: Specific application of deterministic analysis to investigate the contingencies of various components of natural biocenosis was illustrated by the example of fish production and biomass of phyto- and zooplankton. Deterministic analysis confirms the theoretic assumptions on food preferences of herbivorous fish: both silver and bighead carps avoided feeding on cyanobacteria. Being a facultative phytoplankton feeder, silver carp preferred microalgae to zooplankton. Deterministic analysis allowed us to demonstrate the contingency of the mean biomass of phyto- and zooplankton during both the whole fish production cycle and the individual periods.
