Some water quality parameters (Secchi disk depth, water temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, chlorophyll a, NO2-N, NO3-N, NH4-N, PO4-P) and zooplankton fauna were determined in the Kozan Dam Lake. While the quality of the reservoir water was first class water in terms of temperature, dissolved oxygen, NH4-N, PO4-P, it was second-class water in terms of conductivity, pH, NO3-N. In total, 50 zooplankton species belonging to 26 families were determined (29 species belonging to 17 families from Rotifera, 15 species belonging to 7 families from Cladocera and 6 species belonging to 2 families from Copepoda). Brachionidae (Rotifera) was the most species rich family with 7 species, followed by Chydoridae (Cladocera) and Cyclopidae (Copepoda) with 6 and 5 species respectively. The most dominant species were Synchaeta pectinata (38.33%) from Rotifera, Bosmina longirostris (5.71%) from Cladocera and Cyclops vicinus (0.67%) from Copepoda. At the same time, the species found in every month were Asplanchna priodonta, Polyarthra dolichoptera, Bosmina longirostris, Ceriodaphnia pulchella, Cyclops vicinus and Diacyclops bicuspidatus. In the study, Rotifera was the most abundant group with 67%, followed by Cladocera with 29% and Copepoda with 4%. On the other hand, total Rotifera was found mostly in December (10099 individual/ m 3), Cladocera in January (4928 ind./m 3) and Copepoda in September (1091 ind./m 3).

The importance of zooplankton in the food chain of aquatic ecosystems has been well documented (Agasild and Noges, 2005; Medeiros and Arthington, 2008). Zooplankton has a special role as a food for fish larvae and aquatic invertebrates. Furthermore, the species composition and the abundance of zooplankton such as rotifers and cladocerans are excellent tools for interpreting the trophic level in a given water body, since they are very sensitive to environmental variables such as nutrient availability (
Taxonomy, distribution, and ecology of crustacean zooplankton in trough waters of Ankara (Turkey)
TURKISH JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY, 2014
Introduction Artificial habitats have increased in number rapidly due to human activities, dramatically affecting natural habitats. For example, they can cause habitat and species loss (Külköylüoğlu, 2003). Troughs are one example of artificial structures that alter natural water bodies to artificial forms. They are built by converting springs or groundwater (Külköylüoğlu et al., in press). Troughs are used to store water for animals and drinking water for villagers, and for irrigation. Modification of a water body by using an artificial structure is a common method for increasing biodiversity in fresh or marine waters (Bulleri and Chapman, 2004; Burt et al., 2009). Artificial reefs, for example, are made from truck tires or concrete blocks (Lim et al., 1976), and from sticks, poles, and bundles of brushes (Polovina, 1991) to increase fish diversity. Artificial beds constructed from plastic lead to increases in the growth of macro-algae (Godoy and Coutinho, 2002). Considering troughs, there is a single study, by Külköylüoğlu et al. (in press), who investigated the distribution and ecology of Ostracoda from trough waters. However, there is no study about the effect of troughs on zooplankton biodiversity. If troughs support diversity for animals and plants, they could be called "artificially natural habitats" (Külköylüoğlu, pers. comm.). Zooplanktons are small microscopic organisms that can inhabit a variety of aquatic habitats. They have an important position in aquatic food chains as energy transmission from primary producers to the top trophic levels, i.e. predatory fishes and marine mammals (Sommer and Stibor, 2002). Zooplanktons are affected by environmental conditions and can rapidly respond to environmental changes (Dodson and Frey, 2001; Williamson and Reid, 2001; Dodson et al., 2005).The 3 main groups of zooplanktons are Rotifera, Cladocera, and Copepoda. In this study, we worked with 2 groups (Copepoda and Cladocera). As far as we know, there has been no extensive geographical study on the zooplankton composition of the troughs, as much of the knowledge about zooplanktons is confined to specific locations or habitats. Thus, this is actually the first extensive study on zooplanktons Abstract: Troughs are one of the main components of villages in Turkey. They are constructed by converting springs or underground waters. Until now, there has been no extensive study investigating the composition and diversity of trough zooplankton species. In order to contribute knowledge on the zooplanktons in troughs, 142 troughs were randomly sampled from 17 districts in Ankara Province between 22 June and 3 July 2011. A total of 18 zooplanktons including 11 Copepoda and 7 Cladocera species were determined. Twelve of the 18 (Paracyclops chiltoni, Paracylops fimbriatus, Paracyclops imminutus, Tropocyclops prasinus, Diacyclops bisetosus, Acanthocyclops vernalis, Canthocamptus staphylinus, Attheyella crassa, Bryocamptus minutus, Macrothrix hirsuticornis, Oxyurella tenuicaudis, Moina macrocopa) are new records for Ankara. Paracyclops imminutus was reported for the third time in Turkey in the last 50 years. UPGMA illustrated 4 main clustering groups of species corresponding to some of their ecological characteristics. Poisson distribution analysis showed almost random distribution of species among the troughs (s 2 /µ = 1.04). With their cosmopolitan characteristics, 3 species (M. hirsuticornis, E. serrulatus, and C. sphaericus) are the most common species. Their ecological tolerance and optimum values were higher than the mean tolerances for different environmental variables. The results show that troughs may provide suitable conditions for zooplankton species.
Zooplankton of Sakaryabaşi-West Pond, Central Anatolia
2020
The study was conducted between March 2017 and February 2018 to determine the effects various applications and environmental impacts on zooplankton composition in Sakaryabaşı-West Pond. Zooplankton samples were monthly collected with plankton net vertically and horizontally from two stations as triplicated. At the time of sampling, water temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, electrical conductivity, water depth and light transparency were measured at the stations. Rotifera was the highest proportion in the pond during the study, followed by Copepoda and Cladocera, respectively. At this research, 11 families from Rotifera, 22 species from Cladocera, 1 family from Cladocera, 1 family from Copepoda. Proportionally most common species were Lepadella patella (6.38%), Mytilina ventralis (5.32%), Lecane lunaris (4.79%) from Rotifera; Alona rectangula (8.51%) from Cladocera. Cyclopoidae copepods was formed as adults (17.55%), nauplii (25.53%). During the study period the average zooplankton ab...
