A taxonomic study on the phytoplankton in the littoral zone of Karagöl Lake (Borçka-Artvin/Turkey)

The composition of phytoplankton community of Karagöl Lake was studied between April-October 2001 and April- October 2002. Thirty-two taxa (21 belonging to Bacillariophyta, 8 to Chlorophyta, 1 to Cyanophyta, 1 to Chrysophyta and 1 to Euglenophyta) were determined. Some physical factors, such as ice, light and temperature affected development of the phytoplankton community. In addition, wind and water current caused mixing between phytoplankton and benthic algae.
