Abstract
AbstractThe planktonic invertebrates found in Lake Volvi are presented. There are 26 species of Rotifera, 1 Bivalve (larva), 13 Cladocera, 5 Copepoda, 1 Branchiura and 1 Diptera (larva). Many of these are new for the Greek fauna, though they are common in Europe. The discovery of some other species extends the knwown bounds of their geographical distribution in Greece.The lack of large‐sized forms is considered to be due to strong predation by Alosa macedonica. (Pisces, Clupeidae). A comparison is given to the planktonic invertebrates of other Balkan lakes. There is a remarkable similarity with the fauna of Lake Doïrani.
