Abstract

This research was carried out between June 2017 and August 2023 in the Kepir plateau in the Munzur Glacier Mountains and the Mercan stream in its surroundings. A total of Bithynia sp. in Kepir Glacial Lake, 1 belonging to Prosobanchia (Bithynia pseudemmerica), 3 belonging to Pulmonata (Physella acuta, Galba truncatula, Radix labiata) and 1 belonging to Bivalvia (Pisidium casertanum) in Mercan Creek. 6 taxa were identified. In addition, water temperature (ºC), dissolved oxygen (mg/L), conductivity (μS/cm) and pH values of each station were measured. Species and parameters in the region have been recorded for the first time.

Özet

Bu araştırma Haziran 2017- Ağustos 2023 tarihleri arasında Munzur Buzul Dağlarında bulunan Kepir yaylası ve çevresinde bulunan Mercan deresinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kepir Buzul Gölü’nde Bithynia sp., Mercan Deresi’nde Prosobanchia’ya ait 1 (Bithynia pseudemmerica) Pulmonata’ya ait 3 (Physella acuta, Galba truncatula, Radix labiata) ve Bivalvia’ya ait 1 (Pisidium casertanum) olmak üzere toplam 6 takson tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca her istasyonun su sıcaklığı (ºC), çözünmüş oksijen (mg/L), elektriksel iletkenliği (μS/cm) ve pH değerleri ölçülmüştür. Bölgedeki biyolojik ve ölçüm verileri ilk kez kaydedilmiştir.
