The Oligochaeta (Annelida) fauna of the inland waters in the Lake District (Turkey)

Göller Bölgesi içsularında dağılım gösteren Oligochaeta faunasının belirlenmesi amacıyla Haziran 1999-Kasım 2000 tarihleri arasında 75 istasyondan (30 kaynak, 21 göl, bir gölet,' 12 baraj gölü, 7 akarsu, 3 kanal, bir mağara) toplam 237 bentik örnek alınmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, 24'ü Tubificidae, 14'ü Naididae, 3'ü Enchytraeidae, 2'si Lumbriculidae, 1'i Lumbricidae, 1'i Haplotaxidae ve 1'i Glossoscolecidae familyalarına ait olmak üzere toplam 46 tür tespit edilmiştir. Tespit edilen türlerden, Henlea nasuta, Tubifex tubifex f. bergi, Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri f. parvus, llyodrilus frantzi ve Spirosperma nikolskyi Türkiye Oligochaeta Faunası için ilk kayıt niteliğindedir

Göller Bölgesi (Türkiye) içsularının Oligochaeta (Annelida) faunası

A total of 237 benthic samples was collected from 75 stations (30 springs, 21 lakes, one pond, 12 reservoirs, 7 flowing streams, 3 canals, one cave) between-June 1999 - November 2000 and evaluated in order to determine the distribution of oligochaete fauna in inland waters of Lake District, Turkey. As a result of the study, a total of 46 species was determined, comprising 2 species from Lumbriculidae, 1 species from Haplotaxidae, 3 species from Enchytraeidae, 24 species from Tubificidae, 14 species from Naididae, 1 species from Lumbricidae and 1 species from Glossoscolecidae. Among these, Henlea nasuta, Mesenchytraeus armatus, Tubifex tubifex f. bergi, Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri f. parvus, llyodrilus frantzi, Spirosperma nikolskyi are new records for the inland water fauna of Turkey.
