Abstract—

Information on the distribution of three genera of rotifers, Anuraeopsis, Brachionus, and Notholca of the family Brachionidae in the Ural region is summarized based on the author’s research and the analysis of published sources. Data on their localities, biology, and quantitative development in water bodies of the Ural region are presented.
