The peculiarities of zooplankton communities of the reservoirs of the small Polissya mixed forest ecosystems have been analysed. The different indices were given for investigations: number of species, quantity, biomass, trophic characteristics, index of Pantle-Buck, index of Shennon, index of predomination. It is given that species composition of zooplankton are characterized more plastic features. The sanitary condition of investigation reservoirs depends on the level of antropogenic pressure and the type of water-sypplies. The very important role for a function of zooplankton plays less numerous species besides of great numerous species.


Keywords: population, reservoirs, zooplankton, ecosystems.
