Abstract
A species list of zooplankton from the littoral zone of Lake Ladoga is presented, with notes on population densities and distribution. The l ist, totalling 141 taxa of Rotifera, Cladocera and Copepoda, includes 36 taxa reported for the first time in Lake Ladoga. An inverse relatio nship has been observed between the values of Shannon-Weaver index of species diversity and mean individual body mass of zooplankton organis ms in the communities associated with macrophytes.
