Abstract

Zoobenthos of the main biotopes in the drainаge zone of the Novosibirsk water reservoir was studied for the first time. Composition and quantitative characteristics on dry sections was determined depending on soil composition, drainаge duration, distance from the permanently flooded zone, and the position above the minimal level of the reservoir. It was shown that the major destruction of the zoobenthos occurs during reservoir filling periods.
