The application of diatom indices in the Upper Porsuk Creek Kütahya - Turkey

Bu çalışmada, Yukarı Porsuk Çayı’nın su kalitesinin belirlenmesi amacıyla epilitik diyatome örnekler Aralık 2004 ile Ağustos 2005 tarihleri arasında aylık olarak incelenmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda, toplam 57 diyatome türü tespit edilmiş ve Porsuk Çay’nın su kalitesi bu türlere göre SLA- Sládecěk İndeksi, EPI-D-Ötrofikasyon-Kirlilik İndeksi, TDI-Trofik Diyatome İndeksi and DESCY-Descy İndeksi kullanılarak tespit edilmiştir. İndeks değerlerine göre, üç istasyon arasında belirgin farklılıklar ve yine, indeksler arasında da önemli korelasyon olduğu gözlenmiştir.

Diyatome İndekslerinin Yukarı Porsuk Çayı'nda, Kütahya-Türkiye uygulanması

In this study, the epilithic diatoms were investigated monthly to reveal the water quality of Upper Porsuk Creek. The Samples were collected from three stations between December 2004 and August 2005. In this study, a total of 57 diatom taxa were found along the creek. The water quality of Upper Porsuk Creek was determined according to these taxa. Different diatom indices (SLA- Sládecěk Index-, EPI-D-Eutrophication/Pollution Index, TDI-Trophic Diatom Index- and DESCY-Descy Index) were used in this study. There were significant differences among three stations with regard to diatom index values. Also, the diatom indices were compared with each other and it was found that the correlation coefficients between the indices were quite high.
