ZOOPLANKTON OF THE MINGACEVIR RESERVOIR (AZERBAİJAN)

Öz

The article provides information on the biodiversity of multicellular zooplankton communities (metazooplankton) distribution by biotopes, development dynamics, abundance and biomass by seasons in the Mingachevir Reservoir in the current period (2021-2023). As a result of the study 36 species of zooplankton were found belonging to 3 taxonomic groups (13 species of rotifers, 12 species of cladocerans, 11 species of copepods). Cosmopolitan and phytophiles-littoral species are more common in the reservoir. The total abundance of zooplankton varied between 4136-46410 ind./m3, biomass 986.46-10013.98 mg/m3.
