Abstract

The species composition of plankton invertebrates was studied in the middle Vychegda River (the main tributary of the Northern Dvina River) in 2003–2005. A list of planktonic rotifers and lower crustaceans was made. The dominating complexes of zooplankton organisms were found. The quantitative characteristics of plankton communities in the river were described.
