As a result, 13 species and 1 subspecies of aquatic Coleoptera belonging to two families and 3 species and 2 subspecies of Heteroptera belonging to 3 families, were determined from the Lake Kartal. Furthermore, the some physico-chemical parameters were measured in situ; water temperature, electrical conductivity, pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen and saturation. Except the species, Hydroglyphus geminus (Fabricius, 1792), Agabus bipustulatus (Linnaeus, 1758), Agabus conspersus (Marsham, 1802) and Dytiscus semisulcatus (O.F.
