Using the number of Cladocera-species as an indicator, certain regions seem to be either favoured or unfavoured with respect to the climate in inland-waters. The Varanger Peninsula can be reckoned as a favoured region. ... : Supplement to: Meijering, Meertinus P D (1988): Zur Verbreitung von Cladoceren in Tümpeln der Varanger-Halbinsel und anderer waldfreier Landschaften in verschiedenen geographischen Breiten.
