To explore the current situation of the macrozoobenthic communities and related environmental factors in lakes of the Lixia River Area, investigations on the macrozoobenthic communities in four classic shallow lakes were carried out in April 2013, and the related environmental factors were measured and analyzed. The redundancy analysis was conducted between the macrozoobenthic communities and environmental factors to find out the environmental factors which had more influence on the macrozoobenthic communities. Results show that lakes in the area are in eutrophication state, the distribution of macrozoobenthic community trends to be simplified, Bellamya aeruginosa and Limnodrilus hoffmeistteri are dominant species in the area. In the sort of redundancy analysis, the eigenvalues of the first two axes are larger, which are 0. 168 and 0. 115, summing to 0. 283, and they explain 42. 6% and 31. 8% of the species-environment variation. PO^3-₄-P, Chl-a, and DO were the main environmental factors influencing the density of macrozoobenthic.
