Freshwater fauna
Freshwater fauna refers to the diverse array of animal species that inhabit bodies of water with low salt concentration, such as lakes, rivers, streams, and ponds. This includes fish, amphibians, insects, crustaceans, mollusks, and other aquatic organisms that have adapted to thrive in freshwater environments. These organisms play important roles in the ecosystem, contributing to nutrient cycles, food chains, and overall biodiversity of freshwater habitats.
