Abstract
The inland sodic waters provide nesting, resting and feeding habitats for aquatic birds and these one are good assembling habitats for migrating birds, too. During special, mesohalin aquatic conditions, there are special zooplancton and bentic assemblages in the water. The invertebrates provide very good, potential food resource for different aquatic bird quilds. The aim of this project is to estimate the key assemblages of zooplankton and benthos. Connect parallel these investigations, we will convert the quantitative data into mass and energy. The wild aquatic birds’ daily and seasonal activity will be registrated. The whole data, the direct and indirect effects of aquatic birds will be discussed together the zooplankton and entomological results.
