During the study we recorded narrow margins between zooplankton distribution and the ecological characteristics of water in Bokakotorska Bay (Adriatic sea, Montenegro). Various species show different vulnerability to environment quality. Some are defined as indicators, with low tolerance for the ecological variation of environment, and their distribution is limited to the particular type of water masses within the sea. The limiting factors are different for various species, and their indicator status is determined by their distribution. The indicator type, based on monitoring of particular species, may define a biotope, with the help of statistical analyses that identify the main time and spacial behavior patterns of a species, and my allow future ecosystem changes to be anticipated. In this paper we paid particular attention to the indicator species Oithona nana (Giesbrecht).
