The Chironomidae (Diptera-insecta) fauna of Yuvarlakçay Stream (Köyceğiz-Muğla-Turkey)

Türkiye’nin güneybatısında Köyceğiz-Dalyan özel koruma bölgesinde bulunan Yuvarlakçay’ın Chironomidae faunasını belirlemek amacıyla, Mayıs 2001-Nisan 2002 tarihleri arasında aylık olarak 8 istasyondan örnekleme yapılmıştır. Örnekler 180 μ ve 500 μ göz açıklığına sahip el kepçeleri ve 7. ve 8. istasyonlarda da Ekman-Birge grab kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda Chironominae’den 18 takson, Orthocladiinae’den 12 takson ve Tanypodinae’den 5 takson olmak üzere toplam 35 takson tespit edilmiştir.

Yuvarlakçay’ın (Köyceğiz-Muğla-Türkiye) Chironomidae (Diptera-insecta) faunası.

To detect the distribution of Chironomidae fauna of Yuvarlakçay Stream in the Köyceğiz-Dalyan protected area in South-Western Turkey, monthly samplings were made from 8 stations from May 2001 to April 2002.The samples were collected by using 180 μ and 500 μ mesh size hand nets and an Ekman-Birge Grab in 7th and 8th stations. As a result of the study, totally 35 taxa comprised of 18 taxa from Chironominae, 12 taxa from Orthocladiinae and 5 taxa from Tanypodinae were determined.
