Water quality parameters and zooplankton fauna of
Kılavuzlu Dam Lake were determined. It was found that among water quality
parameters, sechi depth, temperature, silica, Ca and CaCO₃ amounts
were higher in the first (referans) station; while conductivity, dissolved
oxygen, pH, chlorophyll a, nitrate
and phosphate values were higher in second (cage) station.

A total of 57 taxa were identified in the study. Of
these taxa, 33 belonged to Rotifera, 14 belonged to Cladocera and 10 belonged
to Copepoda.  It was found that Keratella cochlearis, Daphnia longispina, Cyclops vicinus, Acanthodiaptomus
denticornis were the most common throughout the year, while Ascomorpha ovalis, Dicranophorus epicharis, Keratella
tecta, Notholca acuminata, Testudinella patina, T.
mucronata, Trichotria pocillum, Disparalona rostrata, Scapholeberis kingi, Leydigia leydigi, Alona guttata, Eucyclops speratus, Paracyclops
chiltoni were the least species.

Monommata
longiseta, Trichocerca
porcellus, Diaphanasoma birgei, Eurycercus
lamellatus were only found in the first station, while Ascomorpha ovalis, Notholca acuminata, Rotaria neptunia, Trichotria pocillum, Disparalona rostrata and Eucyclops speratus were only found in the second
station.

Rotifera was represented with higher number of species
in first station for 5 months but Copepoda was represented with higher number
of species in second station for 5 months.

The abundance of groups according to months and
stations revealed that Rotifera and Copepoda were abundant quantitatively in
first station for 7 months; while Cladocera was abundant in first station for 8
months. On the other hand, amount of all zooplankton species were found to be
more abundant in cage station in April (6605 ±4597.35 individual m^-3)
and more abundant in first station in September (1635 ±2384.852 individual m^-3)
(P > 0.05).
