The distribution and population dynamics of Ostracoda and their response to environmental factors have been analyzed in Crimean hypersaline lakes based on data from a long-term monitoring study (2005–2016). Only one representative of this class, Eucypris mareotica (Fischer, 1855), occurs in these lakes. The species was recorded in the Crimean lakes at a maximum salinity of 300 g/L. The frequency of occurrence of this species correlated negatively with salinity. This species reached high abundanc
