Resumen:
We collected the three dominant cladoceran species from Valle de Bravo, a 1,730 ha drinking water reservoir in tropical Mexico and found a direct positive relation between carapace length (Y in ?m) and the dry weight (X in ?g) for all the three species. For Daphnia laevis, the relationship was ln Y = -2.51 + 0.86 ln X; for Chydorus sphaericus, ln Y = -21.00 + 4.16 ln X; and for Bosmina longirostris, ln Y = -8.16 + 1.85 ln X.
