Distributive Microzonality of Freshwater Ciliates in Two Reservoirs of Azerbaijan

Authors: I.Kh. ALEKPEROV

Abstract: The quantitative data are submitted for consideration on freshwater microdistributive ciliates of plankton and benthos in a scantly volume of water (1 m3) and ground surface (1 m2). It is noted that the common character of specific composition and fluctuation-of the density of free-living ciliates depend on a spatial heterogeneity of microbiotopes.

Keywords: Free-living ciliates, freshwater, plankton, benthos.
