Title Of Article :
Seasonal Change of Plankton in Buldan Dam Lake (Denizli)
Abstract :
Plankton composition of Buldan Dam Lake was studied by monthly intervals, between September 1995 and August 1996. Samples were collected from 3 stations of the lake. Plankton samples were collected horizontally and vertically by standard plankton net with a mesh size of 60 μm. The plankton samples were immediately fixed in 4% formaldehyde. Measurements of major physico-chemical properties of the lake such as temperature, water transparency, pH, dissolved oxygen, dissolved oxygen saturation, and water conductivity have been made in situ. At the end of qualitative studies, a total of 106 taxa of planktonic communities representing 76 taxa of phytoplankton (18 belonging to Cyanobacteria, 1 belonging to Heterokontophyta, 26 belonging to Ochrophyta 3 belonging to Dinoflagellata, 7 belonging to Euglenozoa, 17 belonging to Chlorophyta and 4 belonging to Charophyta), and 30 taxa of zooplankton (23 belonging to Rotifera, 5 belonging to Cladocera, 1 belonging to Copepoda, and 1 belonging to Argulidae) were identified. Results showed that Chlorophyta and Ochrophyta were the predominant components of phytoplankton, and Rotifera was the predominant component of zooplankton.
