82 NATURA SOMOGYIENSIS Checklist of the Crustacea fauna of Somogy county (Crustacea) SÁNDOR KÖRMENDI & JENŐ PONYI Different water bodies of Somogy county were analized and 207 taxons were determined in them. The species of Cladocera, Podocopida and Cyclopoida were found in the largest number.. Till now 61 taxa of cladocerans, 36 taxa of copepods and 26 taxa of ostracodans could be identified in Lake Balaton. Among them five species (Latona setifera, Ilicryptus sordidus v. halatonicus, Pleuroxus uncinatus v. halatonicus, Nannopus palustris, Physocypria fadeewi) have been described only from Lake Balaton. Other water bodies of Somogy county were much less researched in many respects. Only a few articles have been published since the turn of the century. Qualitative and quantitative plankton and benthos samples were collected from various water bodies (Lead arms, gravel pit lakes, canals, ponds, small temporary pools) in the Dráva region of the Duna-Dráva National Park and in different fishponds. Based on the results of studies over 125 crustacean species were recorded from Somogy county, that's why the microcrustaceans fauna of the region is very rich in species. In addition to three Ostracoda species (Candonopsis scourfieldi, Notodromas persica, Cypridopsis elongata) new to the Hungarian fauna, several rare microcrustaceans (e.g. Bunops senicaudata, Paracyclops poppei) were found. Much less can be found species in fishponds in this respect. The number of dominant species were estimated at about 8-12 only. The number of species can be increased by research of different habitats and the result of research will provide us with more information on the changes of water quality of different water bodies as well.
