Preliminary systematic investigation of the zooplankton fauna in the streams of Gürün District (Sivas, Türkiye)

Abstract

A total of 34 species were detected over 5 locations in 4 distinct water bodies within the Gürün (Sivas) and Elbistan (Kahramanmaraş) districts, comprising 21 species of Rotifera, 9 species of Cladocera, and 4 species of Copepoda. Fifteen families were found, comprising ten families of Rotifera, three families of Cladocera, and two families of Copepoda. The Lecanidae and Lepadellidae families are the most diverse, each comprising five species. Colurella adriatica was detected at all sampling locations, whereas Lecane closterocerca, Lecane lunaris, and Lepadella patella were discovered at four sampling sites. In addition, in the locality where no zooplankton studies have previously been conducted, four species were classified as constant (F≥50%), six species as common (50%>F≥25%), and twenty-four species as rare (F<25%) according to Soyer's frequency index (%F).

Gürün (Sivas) İlçesi Akarsularındaki Zooplankton Faunasının Ön Sistematik Araştırması

Öz

Gürün (Sivas) ve Elbistan (Kahramanmaraş) ilçeleri sınırları içerisinde 4 ayrı su kütlesinde 5 lokasyonda toplam 34 tür tespit edilmiştir. Bunlardan 21'i Rotifera, 9'u Cladocera ve 4'ü Copepoda türüdür. 10'u Rotifera, 3'ü Cladocera ve 2'si Copepoda olmak üzere toplam 15 familya tespit edilmiştir. Lecanidae ve Lepadellidae familyaları en çeşitli familyalar olup her biri beş türe sahiptir. Colurella adriatica tüm örnekleme lokasyonlarında tespit edilirken, Lecane closterocerca, Lecane lunaris ve Lepadella patella dört örnekleme lokasyonunda bulunmuştur. Ayrıca, Soyer'in frekans indeksine (%F) göre dört tür sabit (F≥50%), altı tür yaygın (50%>F≥25%) ve yirmi dört tür nadir (F<25%) olarak sınıflandırılmıştır.
