In this study which is the first attempt to systematically identify algae
of eighteen freshwater high mountain glacier lakes ecosystems were
investigated. Samples were gathered from the lakes between August 2011 and
October 2012. Secondly, some parameters of physical and chemical water quality
(such as temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, and electricity conductivity) were
measured with the field and laboratory studies, so as to determine the water
qualities of lakes. Physical, chemical and biological data were examined with
cluster analysis, in order to categorize different characteristics of the lakes.
According to data, 58 Bacillariophyta, 17 Chlorophyta, 15 Cyanobacteria, 2
Euglenophyta, 2 Pyrrophyta, and 2 Cryptophyta species were classified in total
with the planktonic and benthic samples from the investigation of eighteen
freshwater lakes.
