The paper provides overview of changes in the species composition of free-living invertebrate fauna of the Aral Sea occurred in the second half of the XX century and the beginning of the XXI century. These changes were the result of introduction of new species of fish and invertebrates and changes in the hydrological regime of this saline inland lake. Changes caused by salinization occurred not linearly through crisis periods associated with the transition critical salinity followed by periods of relative stability.
