Indicator Algae species of Adrasan Stream (Antalya)-Turkey

Abstract

The economic importance of pollution indicator species of algae is investigated in Adrasan Stream, which runs in the nature of Tahtalı Mountains of Beydağları National Park and pours into the Adrasan Bay. The aim of the study is to determine the indicator algae in the stream and to make comparisons with those of the resource region. Two different stations are chosen in the Adrasan Streams and the estuary. Samples are collected from different habitats of the two stations (Epilithic, Epiphytic, Epipelic, and Plankton). In the study, a total of 116 algal taxa are identified.   It is observed that Bacillariophyta division with 50.86%, is the most represented group, while Chlorphyta 25.86%, Cyanobacteria 17.24%, Euglenophyta 3.44% and Dinophyta 2.58% are also recorded, respectively. Cladophora fracta, Pediastrum boryanum, Pediastrum dubium, Scenedesmus accuminatus, Scenedesmus sp., Ulotrix sp., Oscilatoria princeps, Oscilatoria splendida, Oscilatoria sp., Phormidium tenium and Euglena sp., are identified as indicator species.
