Abstract. The paper presents the first comprehensive survey of 58 Cladocera species and 38 Copepoda
taxa from 15 localities of various types of arms, temporary pools and oxbows of the Morava River inun-

Daphnia parvula Fordyce, 1901, D. ambigua Scourfield, 1946, Pleuroxus denticulatus Birge, 1879,
Moina weismanni Ishikawa, 1896 and the calanoid Eurytemora velox (Lilljeborg, 1853) are supposed to
be either invaders or introduced species.Cladocerans Bosmina longirostris (O. F. Müller, 1776), Moina
micrura Kurz, 1874, M. weismanni Ishikawa, 1896, the genus Daphnia and copepods of the genera Eudiaptomus and Acanthocyclops prevailed in relatively deep side arms situated in the inundation. Phytophilous assemblage of Daphnia curvirostris Eylman, 1887, Megafenestra aurita (Fischer, 1849), Mixodiaptomus kupelwieseri (Brehm, 1907), genera Simocephalus, Scapholeberis, and Acroperus dominated in
dation on the Slovakian territory. Among the species found, the cladocerans

waters of temporary character and shallow dead arms covered with macrovegetation.
