Abstract

 

 

The Rezve stream originates from the Istranca Mountains and flows into the Black Sea. The stream borders Turkey and Bulgaria and is under military defense. Beyond that very little is actually known about this stream. It is very hard to study in this area because the region is fraught with geographic irregularities and covered with dense forests. Also there isn't any study about Ostracoda fauna in the Rezve stream. The present paper reports the Ostracoda assemblages of Rezve stream for the first time from Turkey.
