Abstract: Abstract Trophic equilibrium has been traditionally viewed as a balance of causes influencing the growth rate of populations. It has been recently proposed to view it as a balance of causes influencing the acceleration of the population size (Ginzburg, 1986). Arguments in favor of the proposed view are presented. Date from population growth experiments with brown and green hydra as well as some literature data support the arguments.
