Abstract: The species composition was studied at the water-sediment interface in various water bodies in the vicinity of Arctowski Station. The highest density of fauna was noted in moss banks, of which 75 % were Bdelloidea, whereas the lowest was observed in running waters. Monogononta species occu...

Summary: | Abstract: The species composition was studied at the water-sediment interface in various water bodies in the vicinity of Arctowski Station. The highest density of fauna was noted in moss banks, of which 75 % were Bdelloidea, whereas the lowest was observed in running waters. Monogononta species occurred in nearshore ponds with a large number of taxa and comparably high density. Amongst rotifers, Bdelloidea and Notholca salina of Monogononta were most abundant. 1. |
