Abstract

This study was
completed with periodical surveys in Tohma Stream between April 2013- May 2014
period seasonally. During the study, a total of 32 species (22 belong to genus
Rotifera, 8 to Cladocera and 2 Cope­poda) were identified in Tohma Stream. During
the study period, Keratella cochlearis
(Rotifera), was found in every station in all seasons. Also, it was
found that the most common family in the study was Brachionidae (8 species)
from Rotifera. All of the zo­oplanktonic species have been detected for the
first time in Tohma Stream.
