Abstract

This study was conducted seasonally in 2022 and 2023 in Reyhanlı Dam Lake (Hatay, Türkiye), which was established in 2020. Zooplankton fauna and main water quality characteristics were investigated. The average values of the water quality parameters (temperature, dissolved oxygen, conductivity and pH) measured in the dam lake were determined to be of first class water quality. A total of 67 species were identified, of which fifty-four (54) species were Rotifera (80.60 %), 7 species were Copepoda (10.45 %) and 6 species were Cladocera (8.95 %). Brachionidae was the most abundant with 14 species, Chydoridae represented by two species and Cyclopidae were represented by 3 species. According to the frequency index, 3 species (F ≥ 76%) were classified as constant and 11 species (75% > F ≥ 51%) were classified as common. Of the 67 species recorded, only 29 species were very abundant (●) and abundant (○) in the different seasons. The highest species richness was recorded in the summer, with 54 species.

Reyhanlı Baraj Gölü Zooplankton Faunasının Mevsimsel Analizi

Abstract

Bu çalışma, 2020 yılında inşaası tamamlanan Reyhanlı Baraj Gölü'nde 2022 ve 2023 yıllarında mevsimsel olarak yürütülmüştür. Bazı su kalitesi özellikleri ve zooplankton faunası araştırılmıştır. Su kalitesi parametrelerinin ortalama değerleri; Su sıcaklığı 19,89±5,80°C, çözünmüş oksijen 8,75±0,59 mgL-1, iletkenlik 187±43,23 μS cm-1 ve pH 8,18±0,51 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Elli dört (54) türün Rotifera (%80,60), 7 türün Kopepoda (%10,45) ve 6 türün Kladosera (%8,95) olmak üzere toplam 67 tür tespit edilmiştir. Brachionidae 14 türle en fazla bulunan tür olurken, Chydoridae iki türle, Cyclopidae ise 3 türle temsil edildi. Kaydedilen 67 türden yalnızca 29 türün farklı mevsimlerde çok bol (+++) ve bol (++) olduğu, diğer türlerin ise sayıca daha az olduğu görüldü. Zooplankton türlerinin çoğu yaz aylarında 54 türle kaydedilmiştir.
