Seasonal Variation of Cladocera Fauna of Sultan Marshes and Its Environment (Central Anatolia, Türkiye)
Abstract
Abstract: In this study, eight water bodies located in Sultan Marshes
and its environment (Zamantı River, Homurlu Stream, Ağcaşar Dam Lake,
Soysallı Pond, Çayırözü Pond, Lake Söbe, Lake Camız and Sultan Marshes
centre) were analyzed in order to determine Cladocera fauna collected
from seasonal samples in 2007; and totally thirteen species of Cladocera
were identified. In terms of species richness of each water body, 7
species were identified in Lake Söbe besides 5 species in Zamantı River,
Ağcaşar Dam Lake and Çayırözü Pond respectively; in addition to these, 3
species were determined in Lake Camız, 2 species in Homurlu Stream,
Soysallı Pond and Sultan Marshes center. Detailed results of seasonal
variation belonging to the aquatic regions were being given in the text.
