Zooplankton community structure of Asartepe Dam Lake (Ankara, Turkey)

Asartepe Baraj Gölü’nün zooplankton topluluk yapısı, üç farklı mevsimde (Sonbahar 2007, Bahar ve Yaz 2008) örnekler toplanarak incelendi. Rotifera 43 türle baskın grup olarak tespit edildi, bunu sırasıyla 3 türle Cladocera ve 2 taksonla da Copepoda izledi. Tespit edilen rotiferlerden biri olan Encentrum felis Türkiye faunası için yeni tür olarak kaydedildi. Ayrıca bazı su parametreleri (pH, çözünmüş oksijen, elektriksel iletkenlik ve su sıcaklığı) arazi çalışmaları süresince ölçüldü.

Ankara Asartepe Baraj Gölü’nün zooplankton topluluğunun yapısı

Zooplankton community structure of Asartepe Dam Lake was examined by collecting samples in three different seasons (Autumn 2007, Spring and Summer 2008). Rotifera was found the dominant group with 43 species, followed by Cladocera with 3 species and Copepoda with 2 taxa respectively. One of these rotifers, Encentrum felis is a new record for the Turkish fauna. Also some water parameters (pH, dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity and water temperature) were measured during field trips.
