Abstract A species list of zooplankton from the littoral zone of Lake Ladoga is presented, with notes on population densities and distribution. The list, totalling 141 taxa of Rotifera, Cladocera and Copepoda, includes 36 taxa reported for the first time in Lake Ladoga. An inverse relationship has been observed between the values of Shannon-Weaver index of species diversity and mean individual body mass of zooplankton organisms in the communities associated with macrophytes.
