The hydrological features were found to be correlated with algal biomass distribution. Consequently, the best representor of the hydrological trait, Residence Time, is suggested to be a key parameter controlling algal dynamics. %K Kinneret %K Phytoplankton %K Residence Time %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=96127
