Communıty structure of zooplanktonic organisims in Mert, Erikli, Hamam, and Pedina (İğneada/Kırklareli) Lakes
Abstract
This study was performed in the Mert which is a lagoon lake and Erikli, Hamam and Pedina which are freshwater lakes, between May 1993 - April 1994 to determine monthly changes of community structure of zooplanktonic organisms and the physicochemical properties of the water. As a result, as an average, in Mert Lake 271919, in Erikli Lake 268105, in Hamam Lake 476679, Pedina Lake 213168 individual/m3 have been found. In these lakes, Rotifera was determined as dominant group while Cladocera was determined to have the least number of individuals in Zooplanktonic organisms. The maximum levels of zooplankton amount in Mert, Erikli and Pedina were determined in the autumn, the minimum levers were found in winter in all of the lakes. The similar physicochemical properties between Mert and Erikli, between Hamam and Pedina lakes respectively were found to be similar, additionally all of the four lakes were determined to be eutrophic.
