Zooplankton of Hancağız Dam Lake (Gaziantep - Turkey)

Abstract

Zooplankton samples were taken seasonally from Hancağız Dam Lake between April 2012-May 2013 period. During the study, a total of 52 species (34 belong to genus Rotifera, 11 to Cladocera and 7 Copepoda) were found in Hancağız Dam Lake. Based on the number of individuals, rotifers were the dominant group in the dam lake (65.4%) followed by Cladocera (21.2%) and Copepoda (13.4%). All of the zooplanktonic species have been detected for the first time in Hancağız Dam Lake. The datas determined from the zooplankton community in Hancağız Dam Lake wereanalysedbyShannonWienerspeciesrichnessindex (H ı ), Margalef diversity index(D) and Sorenson similarity index. H ı value was found highest with 3.73 in spring. D index value was calculated in its highest level in spring with 6.31.

“…It is reported that most of the zooplankton species found in the study are widespread in water bodies of all sizes in different geographic regions, with different types of substrates and vegetation-related species (Hutchinson 1967;Ruttner-Kolisko 1974;Braioni and Gelmini 1983;Ryding and Rast 1989;Ramdani et al 2001;Eldredge and Evenhuis 2003). They were widespread in Turkey and worldwide because they were found in almost all regions of Turkey (Güher 2000;Alper et al 2007;Dirican and Musul 2008;Saler and İpek 2009;Yıldız et al 2010;Günsel and Emir Akbulut 2012;Apaydın Yağcı 2013;Güher 2014;Saler and Alış 2014;Apaydın Yağcı et al 2015;Güher and Çolak 2015;Ustaoğlu 2015;Gürel and Saler 2015) and they were reported from lots of study inland waters of Turkey (Ustaoğlu et al 2004;Ustaoğlu 2015).…”

“…In many studies conducted in dam lakes, rotifers are the first group among all zooplankton groups in terms of number of species and frequency of occurrence. Göksu (Bekleyen, 2003), Kepektaş (Saler, 2009), Beyhan (Bulut and Saler, 2014), Hancağız (Saler and İpek Alış, 2014), Kalecik (Bulut and Saler, 2013), located in the same region with Tatar Dam Lake. Karkamış (İpek Alış and Saler 2016), Özlüce (İpek Alış and Saler 2016), Boztepe Recai Kutan (Saler et al, 2017) and Rotifera in the dam lakes were represented by the highest number of species.…”

“…C. vicinus is a cosmopolitan copepod that is common in Turkey's inland waters. In recent years, many studies reported high abundance of the C. vicinus in Turkish reservoirs (Bekleyen, 2003;Saler & Alış, 2014;ApaydınYağcı, Yılmaz, Yazıcıoğlu, & Polat, 2015;Alış & Saler, 2016;Saler, 2017). Although C. vicinus was common throughout the year at all stations, it had the highest abundance during the summer time.…”
