Salinity tolerance of copepods Calanipeda aquaedulcis and Arctodiaptomus sali-nus collected from saline lakes of the Eastern Crimea has been studied. The main part of C. aquaedulcis females can reproduce within the salinity range of 0 – 50 ‰. About 20 % of adults of this species survive at 60 ‰ during 40 days. Salinity tolerance range of A. salinus amounts to 0 – 40 ‰. More than 50 % of C. aquaedulcis individuals are able to undergo 30 ‰ gradual salinity change during 8 h whilst A. salinus can t
