Abstract
The spatial distribution of chironomid
communities in the littoral zone (0-20 m) of the
western coast of the southern Baikal basin is
investigated. The fauna is composed of 16 species
and forms of chironomid larvae, comprising 10
communities. It has been found that the
communities are characterized by rather poor
species diversity; Shannon’s index varies from
0.7 to 2.1 bit. Their distribution is affected by
hydro-lithodynamic conditions, type of bottom
sediments and macrophyte development. The
peak of maximal biomass of chironomid larvae
on the facies of non-rounded rock debris near
Berezovy Cape is recorded in spring.
