Population Density of Potamon potamios (Olivier 1804) in Gölbaşı (Fish) Lake (Gölbaşı Village/Kırıkhan/Hatay)

Abstract

To determine the population density of the Potamon potamios (Olivier, 1804) species in Gölbaşı (Fish) Lake (Gölbaşı Village - Kırıkhan - Hatay), samples were collected in July 2020 and 2021. Once a week during the period of 3 weeks, a total of 6 times. Wire cages with one-sided doors that could open inwards were used to capture the fish samples. Fish remains as bait was placed in the cages. To avoid recounting the same individuals, individuals were marked after each count with a water-resistant pen that can be seen in purple light. Collected samples were examined live at the sampling point. During the examination of the samples, male and female individuals were counted and recorded. Enumerated individuals were released back into their habitats after marking. At the end of the census, it was observed that there was a decrease in the population in 2021 with the effect of low rainfall and drought. While the total number of samples detected in 2020 was 196, 84 individuals were detected in 2021. It is thought that the reason for the sudden decrease in the number of individuals is the decrease in the groundwater level due to low precipitation and the withdrawal in the lake level.
