N2  - Five saline lakes near Marchagee. with salinities ranging from 10-71&#8240;, were sampled every two months between March and September 1979. The lakes contained faunal assemblages of 6-13 invertebrate species; only two species were common to all lakes. Fish (Pseudogobius olorum) were found in one salt lake. Austrochiltonia subtenuis was recorded at a salinity of 71&#8240; twice the salinity it was previously thought to tolerate. Pseudogobius olorum was collected at a salinity of 55&#8240; and is the second species of fish to be collected from highly saline Australian lakes. Mytilocypris mytiloides was collected at a total dissolved solids concentration of 45&#8240; a much higher level of salinity than it tolerates in eastern Australia. Necterosoma pensillatus was found at a salinity of 10.5&#8240; the lowest yet recorded for the species.
