On the basis of the review of references advantages are discussed with use of the original data, problems and use prospects sub-fossil Cladocera in palaeoecological researches, palaeoreconstrucrions past environmental conditions. The described examples show value Cladocera as indicators of changes of influence various abiotic and biotic factors of environment influencing a condition of lakes, such as changes of the trophic status, acidity, depth, lake-level changes, ionic structure of water etc. The investigation of cladoceran assemblages in lakes has demonstrated the potential of this group of hydrobionts as an indicator of the changes caused by climate change occurring in the ecosystem.
