APPENDIX 



In mis appendix some tables are presented which list the fauna 

 occurring in the following anaerobic habitats: sapropelic habitat, 

 sewage tanks and anaerobic zone of lakes. Only the faunas described 

 in some representative papers have been included in the tables. The 

 faunas occurring In other anaerobic or near-anaerobic habitats have 

 been omitted, partly because it would be premature to establish a list 

 (as for the oxygen-minimum layer in the sea), partly because not 

 enough is known to decide whether many animals found in near- 

 anaerobic habitats (e. g., some parasitic habitats) really lead a pre- 

 dominantly anaerobic life.
