Description
The survey is part of the research project 7-20 “Rotifers in small coastal ponds”, funded by the Norwegian Biodiversity Information Center. We collected samples from 25 ponds. The selection of ponds followed the criteria that they had to be small, between 20 and 500 m2, situated below 50 m above sea level, isolated from other water catchments, and preferably within 1 km of nearest marine coastline.

Sampling
Study Extent: The study in Norway, Agder county, covered the areas of Arendal, Kristiansand, Lista, Mandal and Risør.
Sampling: Samples consisted of 250 ml of water collected with a plastic bottle directly from the shores, including floating detritus, vegetation, submerged moss and sediment. In addition, samples of dry mosses were collected above the waterline.
Quality Control: DNA data was extracted from a selected number of animals to confirm species identification.
Method Steps: Animals were sorted and isolated in the laboratory under a dissecting microscope. All isolated individuals were identified using a compound microscope to species level when possible, if not to genus level. The identification characters for bdelloids are only visible on active individuals and animals were processed immediately after collecting the samples. We identified the first 100 animals isolated from each sample.
