Abstract
Studies of invertebrates inhabiting the stones of the shoal of a cooler reservoir demonstrated predominance of Oligochaeta from Naididae family in number, and Plumatella emarginаta in biomass. With the biomass of zooperiрhyton exceeding 100 g/m2, the substrate roughness and brightness were found to affect the number and biomass; a correlation between the biomass of Plumatella emarginаta and the number of Oligochaeta was revealed.
