Abstract
The distribution of meroplanktonic inverlabrate larvae in Lake Qaroun (EL-Fayoum - Egypt) was studied along a whole year. Monthly collection was carried out at five stations for 12 months, starting in January!996. Numerous larvae of three benthic invertebrate groups; namely Annelida, Crustacea, and Mollusca were obtained. The most dominant larvae were those of Polychaeta followed by Crustacea (mostly Cirripedia). The maximum counts of the larvae were encountered during the hot months.
