The Oligochaeta (Annelida) fauna of yuvarlak stream (Köyceğiz-Turkey)

To detect the distribution of Oligochaeta fauna of Yuvarlak Stream in the Köyceğiz-Dalyan Protected Area in South-Western Turkey, monthly samplings were made from 11 stations from May 2001 to April 2002. The samples were collected by using 180 µ and 500 µ mesh sized hand nets and an Ekman-Birge Grab in 9th and 10th stations. As a result of the study, totally 50 taxa comprising of 17 species from Tubificidae, 28 species from Naididae, 3 species from Enchytraeidae and 2 species from Lumbriculidae were determined. Tubifex newaensis, Nais alpina and Nais behningi are new records for the inland water fauna of Turkey.
