The ecosystems of hypersaline waters are characterized by the simplified trophic webs with the ‘loss’ of predators. In the absence of predators, their role can be effectively performed by omnivorous as Gammaridae species. In Lake Moynaki, a small hypersaline lake, Gammarus aequicauda is one of the most abundant animal species along with chironomid larvae Baeotendipes noctivagus. Both these species are promising objects to use in polyaquaculture, and this adds an importance to know their trophic
