In the Venice lagoon, ostracods from 99 recent samples were studied. The biocoenosis is more abun- dant in the inner margin, near some little channels. The microfaunal analysis delimited three estuarine associa- tions, with numerous valves of Cyprideis torosa, and one marine association (Pontocythere turbida). Salinity, hydro- dynamics, nutrients and substrate are the main factors which control the distribution of these microorganisms. This distribution is very similar in other recent lagoons of Italy.

Abstract
In the Venice lagoon, ostracods from 99 recent samples were studied. The biocoenosis is more abun- dant in the inner margin, near some little channels. The microfaunal analysis delimited three estuarine associa- tions, with numerous valves of Cyprideis torosa, and one marine association (Pontocythere turbida). Salinity, hydro- dynamics, nutrients and substrate are the main factors which control the distribution of these microorganisms. This distribution is very similar in other recent lagoons of Italy.
