NEW DATA ON COMPOSITION AND TAXONOMIC STRUCTURE OF ZOOBENTHOS IN WATER BODIES OF TIGIREKSKY RESERVE
In the summer of 2016 nine water bodies of Tigireksky Reserve and its buffer zone carried out the sampling of zoobenthos. In the surveyed water bodies were detected representatives of eight classes of aquatic invertebrates. The highest abundance of zoobenthos observed in a shallow floodplain waters, and the greatest biomass in streams and small rivers. Taxonomic structure of zoobenthos as a whole is characteristic for mountain areas. In the surveyed watercourses were quantitatively dominated by larvae of amphibiotic insects of orders Diptera, Trichoptera, Ephemeroptera and Plecoptera, and the standing water bodies - small bivalves and crustaceans.
