In this study, it was aimed to determine the benthic macroinvertebrate fauna of Demre Stream in Antalya. Benthic macroinvertebrate samples were taken seasonally from 12 stations determined on Demre Stream between April 2015 and December 2015 and the obtained individuals belonging to Clitellata, Rhabditophora, Gastropoda, Insecta, and Arachnida groups Macroinvertebrate based clustering of stations was calculated by using UPGMA analysis. The lowest similarity was determined between the 3rd and 10th stations, and the highest similarity was between the 8th and 11th stations. Simpson and Shannon-Wiener diversity indices were applied to determine the diversity values of the stations. According to both diversity indices, the highest diversity value was reached at the 5th station, while the lowest diversity value was reached at the 3rd station. This study is the first study to determine the benthic fauna of the Demre Stream and therefore all the groups identified are the first records for the Demre Stream.

Nisan 2015 ile Aralık 2015 tarihleri arasında Demre Çayı üzerinde belirlenen 12 istasyondan bentik makroomurgasız örnekleri mevsimsel olarak alınmış ve Clitellata, Rhabditophora, Gastropoda, Insecta and Arachnida gruplarına ait bireyler elde edilmiştir. UPGMA analizi kullanılarak, istasyonların makroomurgasız temelli gruplandırılmaları yapılmıştır. En düşük benzerlik 3. ve 10. istasyonlar arasında, en yüksek benzerlik ise 8. ve 11. istasyonlar arasında belirlenmiştir. Yine istasyonlara ait çeşitlilik değerlerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla Simpson ve Shannon-Wiener çeşitlilik indeksleri uygulanmıştır. Her iki çeşitlilik indeksine göre de en yüksek çeşitlilik değerine 5. istasyonda ulaşılırken, en düşük çeşitlilik değerine 3. istasyonda ulaşılmıştır. Bu çalışma, Demre Çayı'nın bentik faunasının belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılan ilk çalışmadır ve bu sebeple belirlenen tüm gruplar Demre Çayı için ilk kayıttır.
