Zooplankton Fauna (Rotifera, Cladocera, Copepoda) of Süloğlu Dam Lake (Edirne) and its Seasonal Changes

| description | This study was carried out between March 2013 and February 2014 in order to determine the zooplankton
composition and density in Süloğlu Dam Lake. Zooplankton samples were collected at 4 stations in the lake using a plankton
net with a mesh size of 55 µm and fixed in 4 % formalin. The examination of the zooplankton samples revealed a total of 49
species; 11 species from Cladocera, 6 species from Copepoda and 32 species from Rotifera. The quantitative evaluation of the
samples showed that the zooplankton density was represented with an annual average of 150,566 ind./m³. Rotifera (59 %) was
the dominant group in the dam lake with 89,003 ind./m³ followed by Cladocera (27 %) with 40,628 ind./m³ and Copepoda
(14 %) with 20,936 ind./m³. In spatial distribution, maximum density was detected at the 3rd station (285,342 ind./m3
), whereas
minimum density was at the 1st station (36,267 ind./m3
). The highest individual organism number was detected in spring and
the lowest was detected in winter. According to the zooplankton composition and percentage distribution of zooplanktonik
groups, Süloğlu Dam Lake was concluded to have an oligo-mesotrofic characteristic. |
