Abstract:	The abundance and biomass of autotrophic picophytoplankton (APP) were studied in the Cybina River above and below the shallow Antoninek Reservoir (western Poland). APP was studied after restoration of the reservoir, which was carried out in 2002-2003, to compare the results with the period preceding human interference. APP included picochlorophytes (EPP = eukaryotic picoplankton) and picocyanobacteria (PPP = prokaryotic picoplankton), and the eukaryotic component dominated over the prokaryotic component, accounting on average for approx. 80% of the APP abundance and biomass. No significant change in APP size structure was noted between the two sampling stations. In contrast, before the restoration of the reservoir, APP numbers and biomass decreased by 64% between the sampling stations.
