Abstract

In this research, zooplankton and some water quality parameters were investigated in Beytepe Pond (Ankara / Turkey). The material of the study consists of zoplankton samples taken from 3 stations (3 zones on the pond) and water quality parameters taken from 5 stations (3 zones on the pond and pond inlet and outlet zones) in the field study on 24.09.2018. When evaluated according to general chemical and physicochemical parameters of inland water resources; In terms of nitrate nitrogen and orthophosphate values, the pond is of 2nd class quality; According to the same criteria, it was found as 3rd quality in terms of total nitrogen and total phosphorus. A total of 13 zooplankton species were identified. Rotifera groups (85%) and Cladocera (15%) were detected in the pond. The maximum number of species was found at the 1st station (11 species), and the minimum number of species was determined at the 2nd and 3rd (5 species) stations. The dominant species were determined as Polyarthra dolichoptera, Keratella cochlearis and Trichocerca pusilla.

Beytepe Göleti’nin Zooplankton Faunası Üzerine Bir Ön Çalışma (Ankara/Turkey)

Abstract

Araştırmada Beytepe Göleti'nde (Ankara / Türkiye) zooplankton ve bazı su kalitesi parametreleri incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın materyalini oluşturan zooplankton örnekleri 3 istasyondan (Gölet de 3 bölge) ve su kalitesi parametreleri 5 istasyondan (Gölet’den 3 bölge, gölet giriş ve çıkış) 24.09.2018 tarihinde alınmıştır. İç su kaynaklarının genel kimyasal ve fizikokimyasal parametrelerine göre değerlendirildiğinde; Nitrat azot ve ortofosfat değerleri açısından gölet 2. sınıf kalitede; aynı kriterlere göre, toplam azot ve toplam fosfor açısından ise 3. kalite özellikte bulunmuştur. Toplam 13 zooplankton türü teşhis edilmiştir. Gölet de Rotifera grupları (% 85) ve Cladocera (% 15) olarak tespit edilmiştir. Maksimum tür sayısı 1. istasyonda (11 tür) bulunmuştur ve minimum tür sayısı 2. ve 3. (5 tür) istasyonda belirlenmiştir. Baskın türler Polyarthra dolichoptera, Keratella cochlearis ve Trichocerca pusilla olarak belirlenmiştir.
