%X Macrobenthos is an important component of lake and reservoir ecosystems, and plays a key role in regulating the material cycle and energy flow of water ecosystems, as well as improving the benthic environment of water bodies. Macrobenthos is also a key taxon in the evaluation of the water ecological health of lakes and reservoirs because of its long survival period, weak migratory ability, and sensitivity to the living environment. The group conducted sampling surveys of macrobenthos in a total of eight lakes and reservoirs in the Yellow River Basin, including Zaling Lake, Eling Lake, Longyangxia Reservoir, Qinghai Lake, Daihai Lake, Wuliangsuhai Lake, Xiaolangdi Reservoir and Dongping Lake in 2021 and 2022, and formed this dataset after species identification, counting and species abundance calculation. The release of this dataset helps to systematically understand the distribution of macrobenthos in the important lakes and reservoirs in the Yellow River Basin, provides basic information for the assessment of the water ecological health of the Yellow River Basin, and contributes to the realization of the ecological protection and sustainable development of the Yellow River Basin.The Excel file of the dataset contains a total of 1 sheet, of which sheet 1 is the basic introduction of the dataset, which describes in detail the region to which each lake and reservoir belongs, the name of the lake and reservoir, the location of the survey point, the time of the survey, the number of taxonomic units, the Latin name of the species, the abundance, the number of times of sampling, the sampling tool, the area of the sampling, and the point of the longitude and latitude.
