Rotifers are one of the most important components of Egyptian
inland zooplankton especially in organically polluted waters. The
present survey yielded thirty species from the various localities
investigated. The distribution, the relative abundance and the
morphological features are given for each species. The cammon species
in Egyptian inland waters are also common in the lake sources of the
River Nile.
