Abstract: Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri Claparède, a dominant species of zoobenthos, is widely distributed in shallow lakes of the middle and lower basin of the Yangtze River, and it plays an important role in the energy flow and biogeochemistry cycling of the lake ecosystem. To understand population dynamics, life history and production of L.hoffmesteri in the large shallow lake, field investigation were conducted in Lake Taihu during January to December, 2015. The annual average density and biomass of this worm were 3 273.75 ind./m2 (0-13 800 ind./m2) and 4.70 g/m2 (0-29.15 g/m2), respectively, all of which peaked in winter. The highest population density and biomass of L.hoffmeisteri were found in Meiliang Bay, Zhushan Bay and western river-mouth, while the other place of the lake had very lower worm density. According to the annual dynamics of the frequency distributions of body length, the species had three generations one year and reproduced in March,July and November. The annual P/B ratio was 14.17, which was due to high generations one year. The corresponding annual production of the animal calculated by size-frequency method was 480.21 g·m-2·yr-1 in wet weight, and was highest in studies reported, which is significant for potential fishery capacity in Lake Taihu.

Key words: Limnodrilus hoffmesteri Claparède, secondary production, life history, population dynamics, Lake Taihu
