Abstract
32 ephemeral dune ponds were studied at the end of January 1990. 34 ro tifer species were identified. The distribution of only a few species was related to salinity, suspended matter, chlorophyll-a and total wat er protein concentrations. However, most of the species seem to be bet ter related to the colonization possibilities than to the environmenta l characteristics of the ponds.
