Background. Investigation of aquatic organisms of different water bodies is important for understanding biodiversity in an area as well as for estimating the ecological situation in an ecosystem. The aim of the study is to describe the zooplankton and the zoobentos communities of the Arkhangelsky Pond (Kamenka district,
Penza Region).
Materials and methods. To study structural parameters of the zooplankton and zoobenthos the authors used methods generally accepted in hydrobiology.
Results. The species composition of hydrobionts in the Arkhangelsky Pond was studied. The article discusses the features of the communities of hydrobionts (zooplankton and zoobenthos) and their tracer role.
Conclusions. By structural parameters and various indexes the water in the pond has been estimated as «moderately polluted» and «dirty».
