Abstract

This paper presents the results of a malacological survey of the largest Croatian lake – Vrana Lake and its surroundings in Vrana Lake Nature Park. Altogether 21 species of aquatic non-marine molluscs (15 gastropods, 6 bivalves) have been recorded. Out of all recorded species, only 10 were documented in Vrana Lake, probably due to the higher salinity of water in the lake. A population of the endangered gastropod Anisus vorticulus was found in Benča Lake.
