The long-term (2004, 2020-2024) results of studying the composition of the rotifer and crustacean fauna (Rotifera, Cladocera, Diaptomidae, and Cyclopoidae) in a unique natural vernal water body located in the Zapovednoe Pribaikalye Specially Protected Natural Area (SPNA) are presented for the first time. Twenty-five species are recorded here, 4 of which are crustaceans that have been newly identified in the hydrofauna of Pribaikalye. Data on the morphology and distribution of crustaceans Daphnia (D.) curvirostris, Scapholeberis rammneri, Simocephalus (S.) mixtus, Cyclops furcifer, and Neutrodiaptomus (N.) incongruens, which are typical of vernal or relatively small water bodies, are presented. The East Asian-American complex includes one species of crustacean, N. (N.) incongruens, which has not been recorded west of the Yenisei and its water bodies.
