Abstract

In this study it was aimed to determine the Trichoptera fauna and water quality of Ulupınar Stream which is an important tourism destination of Antalya, based on physicochemical parameters. In recent years, this stream was adversely affected by intensive agriculture, farming and domestic wastes and was exposed to various pollutants. Seasonal analyses of physicochemical parameters and sampling of organisms belonging to the order Trichoptera were carried out from six stations selected between November 2015 and June 2016. 6 families, 10 genera and 21 species belonging to order Trichoptera were identified. Similarities between the sampling points were clustered by using Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean. As a result of the Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean. analysis, the 4th and 6th sampling point (85%) were the most similar to each other. The Principal Component Analysis was used to determine the factors caused the pollution. The Principal Component Analysis was applied to only physicochemical data sets resulted in three principal components accounting for a cumulative variance of 80.9% of for Ulupınar Stream.
