The study was carried out on Sürgü Stream, located in Malatya Province (Turkey), and aimed to determine the diversity and species composition of macrobenthic invertebrates. Six stations were determined on the stream and macrobenthic invertebrates were taken seasonally. As a result, 34 taxa belonging to five classes were detected; one of which belongs to Hirudinea, one of which belong to Arachnida, three to Gastropoda, five to Malacostraca and 24 to Insecta classes. Insecta was the most dominant group among the determined taxa. The Shannon Weaver Diversity Index and the Simpson Index showed that the lowest species diversity was observed at the third station while the highest species diversity was found at the second station. Also, UPGMA algorithm was used to show possible clustering relationships among the seven stations based on organisms. According to UPGMA analysis, the highest similarity value was observed between the first and second stations (87%), while the lowest similarity value was found between the second and fourth stations (13%). To date, there is no study on the determination of macrobenthic invertebrate fauna of Sürgü Stream. Therefore, all the identified taxa have been recorded for the first time for the study area.

Bu çalışmada Malatyaİli’nde (Türkiye) yer alan Sürgü Çayı’nın makrobentik omurgasızlarının türkompozisyonunun ve çeşitliliğinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Altı istasyonbelirlenmiş ve örnekler mevsimsel olarak alınmıştır. Sonuç olarak beş sınıfa ait;Hirudinea ve Arachnida sınıflarından bir, Gastropoda’dan üç, Malacostraca’danbeş ve Insecta sınıflarından 24 olmak üzere; 34 takson tespit edilmiştir.Belirlenen taksonlar arasında en baskın grup Insecta olmuştur. Shannon Weaverçeşitlilik indeksi ve Simpson indeksine göre en düşük çeşitlilik üçüncüistasyonda, en yüksek çeşitlilik değeri ikinci istasyonda bulunmuştur. Ayrıca,organizmalara dayalı olarak yedi istasyon arasındaki kümeleme ilişkilerinigöstermek için UPGMA algoritması kullanılmış,buna göre, en yüksek benzerlik değeri birinci ve ikinci istasyonlararasında (% 87), en düşük benzerlik değeri ise ikinci ve dördüncü istasyonlararasında (%13) bulunmuştur. Bugüne kadar Sürgü Çayı’nın makrobentik omurgasızfaunasının belirlenmesine yönelik bir çalışma yoktur. Bu nedenle, belirlenentüm taksonlar çalışma alanı için ilk kez kaydedilmiştir.
