The zooplankton of some mountain lakes in the Taurus Range (Turkey)

Abstract The zooplankton of 16 mountain lakes in the Taurus Range was studied during 1996 and 1997, and a total of 116 zooplankton taxa, comprising 69 rotifers, 33 cladocerans, 12 copepods, one anostracan, and one chonchostracan was identified. Four rotifers (Brachionus polyacanthus, Asplanchnopus hyalinus, Lecane haliclysta, Dissotrocha aculeata medio-aculeata) and one copepod (Arctodiaptomus (Rh.) alpinus) are new for Turkish inland waters, and they are illustrated.

Adıgüzel Baraj Gölü (Denizli, Türkiye)’nün Rotifer Kompozisyonu

Buyuk Menderes Nehir sistemi uzerinde yer alan Adiguzel Baraj Golu’nun rotifer faunasini belirlemek amaciyla, Ocak-Aralik 2007 tarihleri arasinda, secilen 4 istasyondan aylik periyotlarla orneklemeler yapilmistir. Horizontal cekimlerle gerceklestirilen orneklemelerde 55 μm goz acikligindaki Hydrobios marka plankton kepcesi kullanilmis olup, toplanan ornekler %4’luk formolde tespit edilmistir. Orneklerin kalitatif degerlendirilmesi sonucunda rotiferlerden 25 takson saptanmistir. Saptanan rotifer turleri Adiguzel Baraj Golu’nden ilk kez bildirilmekte olup trofik seviyenin belirlenmesinde kullanilan Q Brachionus/Trichocerca indeksine gore (Q = 3) baraj golunun otrofik oldugu tespit edilmistir.

A preliminary study on the zooplankton composition of some lakes in the Western Black Sea Region (Turkey)

Bati Karadeniz Bolgesi’nde bulunan on uc golun (Poyrazlar Golu, Kucuk Akgol, Taskisigi Golu, Buyuk Akgol, Acarlar Golu, Melen Golu, Yenicaga Golu, Abant Golu, Golcuk Golu, Karamurat Golu, Suluklu Gol, Cubuk Golu, Sunnet Golu) zooplankton faunasi incelenmistir. Her golde 2002 ve 2003 yazinda iki plankton orneklemesi yapilmistir. Calisma sonucunda rotiferlerden 69, kladoserlerden 25 ve kopepodlardan 13 olmak uzere toplam 107 takson saptanmistir.

Rotifer fauna of Lake Yayla (Denizli-Turkey)

The rotifer fauna of Lake Yayla was studied seasonally between 2000- 2002. The rotifer samples were collected by using plankton net with the mesh size of 55 µm horizontally and preserved in 4 % formaldehyde. As a result, 64 taxa in 17 families were identified and reported firstly from Lake Yayla. Besides, Colurella uncinata deflexa , Lepadella (H.) heterostyla and Lepadella (L.) patella oblonga are new species for the Turkish inland waters fauna.
