Zooplankton Fauna of Abant Lake: Past and Present

Abstract

Observing the changes of zooplanktonic organisms over the years can give us consistent information about the limnological conditions of the present and future. Our aim in this study was to determine current conditions of zooplankton fauna of Abant Lake, which was studied seasonally, and could provide resources for future studies. The samples of zooplankton were collected horizontally and vertically from Abant Lake seasonally, between 2015 -2016 from seven stations. At the end of the study, a total of forty-nine zooplankton species were identified. Of these, 33 belonged to Rotifera, 14 to Cladocera and 2 to Copepoda. In addition, twelve species of Rotifera, and six species of Cladocera were found as new records for the Abant Lake.

Abant Gölü Zooplankton Faunası: Geçmiş ve Bugün

Abstract

Zooplanktonik organizmaların yıllar içerisindeki değişimlerini izlemek, gölün bugünkü ve gelecekteki limnolojik durumu hakkında tutarlı bilgiler verebilir. Bu çalışmada ki amacımız, Abant Gölü’nün zooplankton faunasının güncel durumunu belirlemek ve gelecekteki çalışmalara katkı sağlamaktır. Zooplankton örnekleri, Abant Gölü’nden 2015-2016 yılları arasında mevsimsel olarak, farklı habitatlarda ki yedi istasyondan yatay ve dikey olarak alınmıştır. Çalışmanın sonunda 33 tür ile Rotifera, 14 tür ile Cladocera ve 2 tür ile Copepoda grubuna ait toplam kırk dokuz zooplankton türü tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışma ile birlikte, 12 Rotifera türü ile 6 Cladocera türü Abant Gölü zooplankton faunası için yeni kayıt olarak bulunmuştur.
