Studies on organisms living in the specific conditions of brackish waters provide a basis for understanding biological structures and the functioning dynamics of these biocoenoses. In addition, as a key link in the food chain, zooplankton are responsible for maintaining good water quality by controlling the growth of phytoplankton (Paturej and Kruk, 2011). Zooplankton research on Vistula Lagoon began in...
