- Abstract
The goal of this paper was to study the distribution of zooplankton communities in the Lower Prut, a tributary of the Danube river. In this paper, data from the period of 2014-2015 were analysed, for both Prut and Danube rivers ecosystems. The complex expeditions were carried out on the Lower Prut ecosystems (Goteşti - Giurgiuleşti) and the Lower Danube area (Galaţi - Vilcovo). The value of the similarity coefficient of the zooplankton communities in Prut and Danube rivers was 0.40 (2014) and 0.33 (2015), the taxonomic difference being related to the different hydrological conditions. Although more than 85% of the identified taxa were recorded relatively rarely, considering their role in ecosystems, the Prut river deserves an important attention for the maintenance of zooplankton communities.
