Ain-Zayanah, Lagoon, Libya
Abstract
The taxonomical study of macroinvertebrates in Ain Zayana lagoon showed four phyla: Nematoda, Annelida, Mollusca, and Arthropoda; 28 families; and 36 genera. Nematoda represents one species and three species of Annelida. Mollusca include eighteen species; three of them belong to Bivalvia and fifteen species to Gastropoda. Arthropoda, which include thirteen families, six species of Insecta, and eight species of Crustacea.
