Baikal is one of the cleanest lakes in the world. Due to the lack of a large amount of organic matter and special microorganisms, the water in it remains transparent to a depth of 40 meters. Such transparency is achieved thanks to small endemic crustaceans called epishura, which act as living filters: they pass water through themselves and absorb microscopic algae. In addition, the water has a very low content of mineral salts, which also affects transparency.
