Abstract

    In this study, a total of 35 stations including troughs, ponds and streams were sampled between November 2017 and July 2018 in order to determine the Cladocera and Copepoda (Crustacea) fauna of Balya. As a result, a total of 37 species were determined, 21 from Cladocera and 16 from Copepoda. Based on the previous studies, it has been determined that 34 species are recorded for the first time from study area besides 13 species are also determined as new records for Balıkesir fauna.

We would like to thank Eray ERSOY (MSc) for his help in sampling. This study was part of an MSc thesis supervised by Dr. Alp ALPER.

Balya İlçesinin (Balıkesir/Türkiye) Cladocera ve Copepoda (Crustacea) Faunası

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Balya'nın Cladocera ve Copepoda (Crustacea) faunasını belirlemek için yalak, gölet ve akarsuların içinde olduğu toplam 35 istasyon Kasım 2017 ile Temmuz 2018 tarihleri arasında örneklendi. Sonuç olarak 21'i Cladocera'dan, 16'sı Copepoda'dan olmak üzere toplam 37 tür belirlendi. Önceki çalışmalara incelendiğinde 34 türün çalışma alanından ilk kez kaydedildiği, üstelik 13 türün de Balıkesir faunası için yeni kayıt olduğu tespit edildi.
