Two groups of relict species are defined in the aquatic fauna of the Jordan Valley. The first group consists of a number of endemic Crustaceans found in springs. The zoogeographical connections of these Crustaceans suggest that their origin must be related to the transgressive Pliocene Mediterranean. The second group, found in Lake Tiberias, belongs to the preglacial fresh-water fauna known only from a few other tectonic lakes like Lake Baikal, Tanganyika, Ochrid, etc.
