Résumé :	Based on the published data, approximately 90 stygobiotic species are known from aquatic subterranean environment of the Lake Skadar Basin. Crustacea are the most diverse faunistic group with 54 species, followed by Gastropoda and Acari with 22 and 12 species, respectively. Turbellaria are represented by two species, while Annelida are represented by one Hirudinea species. The highest number of stygobionts was stated for cave Obodska pećina. The largest number of stygobiotic species has been reported from cave waters, followed by springs and interstitial waters, while a lower number was found in wells. Crustacean Copepoda and Amphipoda are the most diverse in cave waters, while Hydrachnidia is the most diverse group in interstitial waters.
