Hydrobiological characteristics of water bodies in the Kaliningrad Region

Abstract

This chapter summarizes the research on zooplankton and zoobenthos in 81 water bodies in the Kaliningrad region from 2006 to 2014. A complete list of identified zooplankton and mezo-zoobenthos organisms from the current period is provided. The structure and quantitative development of these organisms in different water bodies, as well as their indicative properties, are discussed. Water quality was determined using the saprobiological method of Pantle and Buck with the Sladochek modification.
