Adult pelagic crustacean taxa were rare and this was attributed to predation by kokanee salmon which had been stocked in 1961. In a survey of park lakes in 1988, Mowich Lake was the only one that did not contain at least one planktonic crustacean species. This study documents the taxonomic structure of the zooplankton assemblages in the lake from 1988 through 1999 and attempts to answer what the taxonomic composition of the pelagic crustacean zooplankton assemblage in Mowich Lake was prior to the stocking of kokanee salmon. The assemblages were consistent with those in 1966 and 1967. Populations of various crustacean species could have existed prior to the introduction of kokanee salmon.
