Abstract

The present study aimed to contribute to the algal flora of Türkiye by Bacillariophyta (diatom) as new records for the Turkish freshwater. Phytobenthos and phytoplankton were sampled three times (spring, summer, and autumn) a year between 2017 and 2019. Samples of the phytoplankton were collected with a water sampler from three depths, and samples of diatoms were obtained as epiphytic in the littoral zone of the lakes. However, if macrophytes were absent, epilithic or epipelic diatoms were sampled in lakes. Also, samples of phytobenthos were preferred as epilithic in rivers. However, if stones were absent, epiphytic or epipelic diatoms were sampled. During the studied period, a total of 895 diatom taxa were determined as planktonic (378 taxa) and benthic (860 taxa) in lakes and rivers of 25 river basins of Türkiye, and a total of 39 new records were identified. The highest diatom taxa were determined in the Fırat-Dicle, Konya, Antalya, and Büyük Menderes basins with 11, 11, 10, and 6 taxa, respectively. On the other hand, new records were not detected in 10 basins.

Türkiye'deki 25 Nehir Havzasından Türkiye Tatlı Su Alg Florası İçin Yeni Kayıtlar, Bölüm I: Bacillariophyta

Abstract

Bu çalışma, Türkiye'nin tatlı su alg florası için Bacillariophyta (diatom) ait yeni kayıt olarak katkıda bulunmayı amaçlanmıştır. Fitobentoz ve fitoplankton örneklemeleri, 2017 ve 2019 yılları arasında yılda üç kez (ilkbahar, yaz ve sonbahar) yapıldı. Göllerdeki Fitoplanktonun örneklemesi, üç derinlikten su örnekleyici ile toplanırken, diatom örnekleri göllerin littoral bölgesinde epifitik olarak elde edildi. Bununla birlikte, makrofitin bulunmadığı göllerde diatom örneklemeleri epilitik ve epipelik olarak yapıldı. Ayrıca, nehirlerdeki fitobentoz örneklemesi epilitik olarak yapılırken, taşın bulunmadığı nehirlerde epifitik veya epipelik olarak örneklenmiştir. Çalışma süresince, Türkiye’nin 25 nehir havzasına ait göl ve nehirlerde planktonik (378 takson) ve bentik (860 takson) olmak üzere toplam 895 belirlenmiş ve toplam 39 yeni kayıt teşhis edilmiştir. En yüksek diatom taksonlarının sırasıyla 11, 11, 10 ve 6 taksonla; Fırat-Dicle, Konya, Antalya ve Büyük Menderes havzalarında belirlenmiştir. Bununla birlikte, 10 havzada yeni kayıta rastlanılmamıştır.
