Zooplankton of the lake part of the Mingachevir Reservoir and its Khanabad Gulf (Azerbaijan)
This paper presents the results of zooplankton studies, conducted in the lake part of the Mingachevir Reservoir and in the Khanabad Gulf (Azerbaijan) in 2021. The taxonomic composition of the zooplankton community has been investigated, and 25 species and one subspecies have been identified. It has been found that all of them are typical species for the inland freshwater bodies of Azerbaijan, occurring both in mixohaline (brackish) and fresh waters. Ecological and zoogeographical characterization of the identified species is given, as well as their saprobity, and the seasonal dynamics of the community development is presented. The core of the community in terms of abundance and biomass was formed by cladocerans and copepods. In the lake part of the reservoir, the highest abundance was recorded in March and the highest biomass was recorded in June. In the Khanabad Gulf, the highest values of abundance and biomass were recorded in June. The Khanabad Gulf was characterized by the highest zooplankton productivity.
