Abstract Studies of zooplankton and ichthyoplankton in the littoral zone of different types of water bodies downstream the Desna River (a tributary of the Dnipro) showed significant differences in the communities of aquatic plants thickets and adjacent areas of open water. The complex structure of the environment created by aquatic vegetation ensured greater taxonomic richness, abundance, and biomass of zooplankton communities compa-
red to open shallow water, even during the period of greatest ichthyoplankton development at the beginning of summer. The largest quantitative parameters of zooplankton were in multispecies thickets of floodplain waterbodies, especially in lentic conditions, in contrast to small monospecies thickets of the Desna river, the development of which was limited by high current velocity. Ichthyoplankton also preferred thickets of aquatic
plants. Its greatest species richness, quantitative development, and representation of size-age groups were observed in thickets of a semi-flowing floodplain water body hydraulically connected to the river.
