Observations on zooplankton in some lagoons in Turkey (original) (raw)

A Checklist for Zooplankton of Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia Regions (Turkey)

A checklist on Turkey zooplankton was published by Ustaoğlu in 2004 and totaly 427 species were reported. Among the zooplankton species in this checklist, 229 species recorded from Rotifera, 106 from Copepoda and 92 from Cladocera. The checklist of Rotifera published in 2012, reported 341 rotifer taxa. During the years since the last checklist process, many studies especially in Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia region of Turkey have been carried out and in this study we have prepared a current zooplankton checklist of Turkish inland waters in these regions. In all these regions 185 zooplankton species have been recorded to date.

A Preliminary Study on Zooplankton Species in Different Aquatic Habitats of Anatolia (Turkey)

2017

Bu arastirmada, Turkiye de Akdeniz, Ege ve Ic Anadolu Bolgelerinde toplam 7 tatlisu alaninda zooplankton turleri uzerine bir on calisma yapilmistir. Zooplankton ornekleri 2002 ve 2012 tarihleri arasinda calisma sahalarindan bir kez alinarak toplanmistir. Ornekler 55 µm goz acikligindaki Hydrobios plankton kepcesiyle alinmis ve % 4’luk formaldehit solusyonunda muhafaza edilmistir. Calisma sonunda Rotifera’dan 20, Cladocera’dan 18 ve Copepoda’dan 5 tur olmak uzere toplam 43 tur teshis edildilmistir. Pleuroxus aduncus, Chydorus sphaericus, Bosmina longirostris, Leydigia leydigi, Keratella cochlearis ve Asplanchna priodonta turleri calisma alaninda yogun olarak gozlenmistir. Tum turler bu calisma alanlarindan ilk kez kayit edilmistir.

A checklist for zooplankton (Rotifera, Copepoda, Cladocera) of European Turkey inland waters

Ege Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2014

Türkiye'nin Avrupa kısmı, Avrupa ile Asya kıtalar arasında geçiş bölgesi oluşturması nedeniyle her iki kıtanında türlerine ev sahipliği yapmaktadır. Ancak şu ana kadar Anadoludan ayrı olarak Türkiye Avrupası zooplanktonik organizmaların tür listesi çıkarılmamıştır. Bu nedenle bölgede bu güne kadar bu konuda yapılan araştırmaların tümü incelenmiştir. 1940'tan bu yana yapılan araştırmaların incelenmesi sonucunda 138 Rotifera, 53 Copepoda ve 65 Cladocera olmak üzere 256 tür listelenmiştir.

Genera Notholca squamula, Keratella quadrata, Colurella colurus, Lecane ohiensis, Lecane grandis and Lecane lamellata have been detected for the first time at the Van Lake coastal zone.

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.

Anadolu’nun Farklı Sucul Habitatlarında Zooplankton Türleri Üzerine Bir Ön Çalışma (Türkiye)

Journal of Limnology and Freshwater Fisheries Research, 2017

In this research, a preliminary study on zooplankton species was conducted a total of 7 in the freshwater areas in the Mediterranean, Aegean and Central Anatolia region of Turkey. Zooplankton sampling were collected one-time study between 2002 and 2012 from the study areas. Samples were taken using plankton net Hydrobios with a mesh size of 55 μm and preserved with 4% formaldehyde solution. At the end of the study, a total of 43 species were identified, including 20 species Rotifera, 18 species Cladocera, 5 species Copepoda. Pleuroxus aduncus, Chydorus sphaericus, Bosmina longirostris, Leydigia leydigi, Keratella cochlearis and Asplanchna priodonta were observed as intensive during the study area. All species have been recorded for the first time in this study regions.

Zooplankton Fauna of Özlüce Dam Lake (Bingöl -Turkey)

Bitlis Eren Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Dergisi, 2016

A total of 27 species (19 belong to genus Rotifera, 7 to Cladocera and 1 to Copepoda) were found in Özlüce Dam Lake between March 2013-February 2014 period. All of the zooplanktonic species have been detected for the first time in Özlüce Dam Lake. Rotifera was found as dominant taxonomic group in respect to Cladocera and Copepoda. Keratella cochlearis (Rotifera) and Cyclops vicinus (Copepoda) were dominant species. The highest numbers of taxa were recorded in spring.

gazi university journal of science, 2005

The zooplankton fauna of Hirfanli dam lake was studied taxonomically during July 1997- May 1998. A total of 31 species was determined. Out of these 18 species belong to Rotifera, 9 to Cladocera and 4 to Copepoda. Owing to that the study reveals the results of first attemp on zooplankton species all the species given are considered as new record.

The zooplankton composition of Lake Ladik (Samsun, Turkey)

TURKISH JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY, 2015

Introduction Zooplankton plays an important role in aquatic ecosystems (Baloch et al., 2005). Zooplankton species have been used as an indicator of the trophic states of lakes (El-Bassat and Taylor, 2007; Ahangar et al., 2012) because of their sensitivity to any ecological change in water bodies (Güher et al., 2011). Additionally, Saksena (1987) reported that zooplankton should be considered as an indicator of water quality. Baloch and Suzuki (2009) concluded that Cladocera and Rotifera dominate eutrophic lakes, whereas Copepoda dominates oligotrophic lakes. Many studies on zooplankton communities of inland water bodies have been carried out in Turkey (e.g.
