In this study, algal composition and some physical and chemical variablesof a shallow pond in the campus of Balikesir University, Balıkesir, Türkiye was studied between August 2023 and May 2024. Seasonal samples of epilithic, epiphytic, epipelic and planctonic algae were taken atthree stations (inlet, transition and deep zones). A total of 92 species were identified, 35 species belonged to the dominant Chlorophyta, 30 belonged to Heterokontophyta, 21 to Cyanobacteria, 2 to Charophyta, 2 to Euglenozoa, 1 to Miozoa and 1 to Cryptophyta groups. Chlorophyta made 38%, Heterocontophyta made 33%, Cyanobacteria made 23%, Charophyta made 2%, Euglenozoa made 2%, Miozoa made 1% and Cryptophyta made 1% of the total number of species. The results showed that Chlorophyta was the dominant and Heterocontophyta was the subdominant group. The most dominant species from Chlorophyta were Tetrabaena socialis (Dujardin) H.Nozaki & M.Itoh, in November 2023 and Ettlia pseudoalveolaris (T.R.Deason & H.C. Bold) J. Komárek in May 2024. The dominant species from the Heterocontophyta group were Cyclotella meneghiniana Kützing in May 2024, Gomphonema gracile Ehrenberg emend van Heurck in Januaray 2024 and Nitzschia palea (Kützing) W.Smith in May 2024. The purpose of this study was to investigate the seasonal distribution of algae and some physical and chemical variables of the shallow Çağış Pond (Balıkesir, Türkiye).

Öz

Bu çalışmada, Ağustos 2023 ile Mayıs 2024 tarihleri ​​arasında Balıkesir Üniversitesi, Türkiye kampüsünde bulunan sığ bir göletin alg bileşimi ve bazı fiziksel ve kimyasal değişkenleri incelendi. Üç istasyondan (giriş, geçiş ve derin bölgeler) epilitik, epifitik, epipelik ve planktik alglerin mevsimsel örnekleri alındı. Toplam 92 tür tespit edildi, 35 tür baskın Chlorophyta grubuna, 30 tür Heterokontophyta grubuna, 21 tür Cyanobacteria grubuna, 2 tür Charophyta grubuna, 2 tür Euglenozoa grubuna, 1 tür Miozoa grubuna ve 1 tür Cryptophyta grubuna aitti. Chlorophyta toplam tür sayısının %38'ini, Heterocontophyta %33'ünü, Cyanobacteria %23'ünü, Charophyta %2'sini, Euglenozoa %2'sini, Miozoa %1'ini ve Cryptophyta %1'ini oluşturuyordu. Sonuçlar Chlorophyta'nın baskın, Heterocontophyta'nın ise alt baskın grup olduğunu gösterdi. Chlorophyta'dan en baskın türler Kasım 2023'te Tetrabaena socialis (Dujardin) H.Nozaki&M.Itoh ve Mayıs 2024'te Ettlia pseudoalveolaris (T.R.Deason&H.C.Bold) J.Komárek oldu. Heterocontophyta grubundan baskın türler Mayıs 2024'te Cyclotella meneghiniana Kützing, Ocak 2024'te Gomphonema gracile Ehrenberg emend van Heurck ve Mayıs 2024'te Nitzschia palea (Kützing) W.Smith oldu. Bu çalışmanın amacı sığ Çağış Göleti'nin (Balıkesir, Türkiye) alglerinin mevsimsel dağılımını ve bazı fiziksel ve kimyasal değişkenlerini araştırmaktır.
