Seasonal Variation in Phytoplanktonic Organisms and Its Relationships with Certain Physicochemical Parameters of Şahin Stream (Ida Mountain, Balıkesir)

Abstract

In 2012 phytoplankton samples collected seasonally from Şahin Stream at a station near Balıkesir-Çanakkale highway. A Total of 33 species were identified and the highest density. Bacillariophyta members were dominant throughout the year and they reached 816 individuals M-3 in the spring, 504 individuals M-3 in the winter, 450 individuals M-3 in the fall and 422 individuals M-3 in the summer. Chlorophyta reached 43 individuals M-3v in the spring, 21 individuals M-3 in the winter fall and 17 individuals M-3 in the summer. Cyanobacteria reached 37 in the spring, 14 individuals M-3 in the summer, 12 individuals M-3 in the fall and 2 individuals M-3 in the winter. Euglenophyta membes reached 13 individuals M-3 in the summer and 3 individuals M-3 in the spring The species of Bacillariophyta that were dominant throughout the year, Luticola cohnii, Nitzschia palea, Cymbella affinis, Stauroneis phoenicenteron and Scenedesmus quadrispina from Chlorophyta showed high correlation with total nitrogen (TN), Parlibellus cruciculus ve Epithemia sorex correlated to conductivity, Nitzschia recta, Nitzschia acicularis and Pinnularia major showed high correlation with silica (Si) and dissolved oxygen. The other dominant species did not show significant correlation with any measured physicochemical parameters.

Şahin Deresi (Kazdağı, Balıkesir) Fitoplanktonik Organizmalarının Mevsimsel Değişimi ve Bazı Fizikokimyasal Parametrelerle İlişkileri

Abstract

2012 yıllında Şahin Deresi Çanakkale Balıkesir Karayoluna yakın bir noktadan mevsimsel olarak fitoplankton örnekleri alındı. Toplamda 45 tür tespit edilip fitoplankton yoğunluğu ilkbahar mevsiminde en yüksek seviyede (596 birey M-3) ölçüldü. Bacillariophyta (diyatome) üyeleri yıl boyunca baskınlık gösterip toplam yoğunluğun %94’ünü kışın, %87’sini sonbaharda, %86’sını ilkbaharda ve %84’ünü yazın oluşturdu. Chlorophyta toplam yoğunluğun %7’sini ilkbaharda ve sonbaharda oluşturdu. Cyanobacteria sonbahar döneminde toplam yoğunluğun %6’sını yaz ve ilkbahar dönemlerinde ise %5’ini oluşturdu. Bacillariophytadan yıl boyu baskınlık gösteren türlerden Luticola cohnii, Nitzschia palea, Cymbella affinis, Stauroneis phoenicenteron ve Chlorophytadan Scenedesmus quadrispina toplam azot (TN) ile, Parlibellus cruciculus ve Epithemia sorex iletkenlik ile, Nitzschia recta, Nitzschia acicularis ve Pinnularia major silisyum (Si) ve çözünmüş oksijen ile yüksek korelasyon gösterdiler. Diğer baskın türler ölçülen herhangi bir parametre ile önemli derecede korelasyon Göstermedi.
