The Effect of Sediment on Trophic Level of Sakaryabaşı West Pond

Abstract

This investigation was carried out in West Pond from which water was supplied to the Sakaryaba şı Fish Culture and Research Station. Water and sediment samples were taken from the station determined in the West Pond in 2000 july, october , 2001 january, april . Total filtrable phosphorus TFP , total filtrable orhtophosphate TFO , iron concentrations and pH values were measured in pond water, overlying water which was sampled from just over sediment and porewater obtained from sediment samples. Also, water content % , organic content % , total phosphorus and total iron concentrations and pH values were determined in sediment. During the period of this study, it was found that overlying water TFP:38,12-107,21 pg/L; TF0:31,45-62,81pg/L and porewater TFP: 65,09- 157,66pg/L;TF0:41,87-123,95pg/L phosphorus fractions were higher than those pond water phosphorus fractions TFP:13,92-41,76pg/L;TF0:15,24-27,15pg/L , this indicates the influence of sediment on pond's trophic level. In porewater when the ratio of iron to phosphorus in molar is found to be lower than 1,8 this indicates that iron never effects the release of phosphorus from sediment. Also considering observed pH values, pH does not have a role on the release of phosphorus from sediment.
