Monthly sampling in the Grosnica water reservoir near Kragujevac, Serbia (Yugoslavia), was carried out in the period October 1996 - September 1998. Comparison of the results with those obtained in 1950-1952 revealed changes in the qualitative and the quantitative composition of zooplankton. The presence of a considerably greater number of species was recorded, including some that were registered for the first time in this reservoir and which represent a very significant component in the dynamics of its zooplankton. A multi-fold increase of zooplankton production was also observed. The number of recorded species fluctuated from 26 in the winter to 59 in the summer. Average total abundance of zooplankton ranged from 100.7 ind./l (late spring to 2508.6 ind./l (summer). The results indicate an intensive process of eutrophication in the Grosnica water reservoir, the oldest artificial lake in the this part of Yugoslavia.
