Abstract

Gala Lake is an alluvial dam lake located between İpsala and Enez counties of Edirne city in Turkey, where Meriç River flows to the Aegean Sea. This study was carried out at monthly intervals from March 2004 to January 2005 in order to determine the Cladocera and Copepoda fauna in Gala Lake. Cladocera and Copepoda samples were collected from different parts of the lake using a plankton net with a mesh size of 55 μm and were fixed in 4% formalin. A total of 42 species, 26 from Cladocera and 16 from Copepoda, were identified as a result of investigation of the collected material. Among these species, Chydorus ovalis Kurz, 1875 is new record for the Turkish fauna. In addition, former studies performed in the lake were examined and Cladocera and Copepoda fauna of the lake was determined.

Özet

Gala Gölü, Türkiye-Yunanistan sınırını oluşturan Meriç Nehri’nin Ege Denizi’ne döküldüğü Edirne İli İpsala-Enez İlçeleri arasında yer alan alüvyon set gölüdür. Bu araştırma, Gala Gölü’nün Cladocera ve Copepoda faunasını belirlemek amacıyla Mart 2004-Ocak 2005 tarihleri arasında aylık periyotlar halinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Cladocera ve Copepoda örnekleri gölün değişik bölgelerinde 55 µm göz açıklığına sahip plankton kepçesi ile toplanmış ve %4’lük formolde fiske edilmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında elde edilen örneklerin incelenmesi sonucunda 26’sı Cladocera türü, 16'sı Copepoda türü olmak üzere toplam 42 tür tespit edilmiştir. Bu türlerden Chydorus ovalis Kurz, 1875 Türkiye faunası için ilk kayıt niteliği taşımaktadır. Ayrıca bu gölde yapılan önceki çalışmalar da incelenerek gölün Cladocera ve Copepoda faunası belirlenmiştir.
