Several species of non-indigenous planktonic invertebrates have historically been introduced to the Laurentian Great Lakes. Previous introductions of non-indigenous planktonic invertebrates to the Great Lakes have been crustacean zooplankton, specifically Cladocera and Copepoda. This report documents the first known occurrence of var. (Zernov, 1901) in Lake Erie and possibly the first detection of a non-indigenous rotifer species in the Laurentian Great Lakes. The specimen was collected from a U.S. EPA monitoring station in the western basin of Lake Erie on April 4, 2016.
历史上，有几种非本地的浮游无脊椎动物被引入了 Laurentian 五大湖。此前被引入五大湖的非本地浮游无脊椎动物是甲壳类浮游动物，特别是枝角类和桡足类。本报告记录了 var. （Zernov，1901）在伊利湖的首次已知出现，这可能也是在 Laurentian 五大湖首次检测到非本地轮虫物种。该标本于2016年4月4日从美国环境保护局在伊利湖西部流域的一个监测站采集。
