The most extended and deepest belt of macrophytic vegetation, the belt which almost without exceptions define the lower limit of littoral region of Lake Ohrid, consists algae from the family Characeae. Permanent presence of sunlight, well oxygen saturation, their density which decreases the waves action, together with the facts that these algae are food and shelter for the numerous endemorelic species from the very rich fauna of macro invertebrates, make the stonworts the most attractive life habitat in Lake Ohrid. Our results are found on researching of three types facies from four different localities in Lake Ohrid: sandy-muddy facies without of stoneworts, facies covered by stoneworts and facies covered by Gastropod and Bivalvia shells, also without of stoneworts. Without exceptions, in all four localities we approved the mentioned affirmation about the great importance of the stoneworms as life habitats, both by the number of present taxa and the density of the macro invertebrate communities.
