A total of seventeen varieties of rotifers were recorded during the whole study period, of which Asplancha sp. and Brachionus sp. were the most common genera in the lake. While the density varied from 24 to 8530/m3 it was relatively higher during summer months. The highest diversity was recorded at sampling location 6
