A preliminary study on zooplankton fauna of Iskenderun Technical University campus pond and first record of Pleuroxus wittsteini Studer, 1878 (Anomopoda, Chydoridae) for Turkish inland waters

Abstract

A total of 22 species, 16 Rotifera, 4 Cladocera and 2 Copepoda, were identified in the study carried out in the pool located in the Iskenderun Technical University campus. The most species were found in Lecanidae family with 5 species. Pleuroxus wittsteini detected in this study is a new record for inland waters of Turkey.
