Abstract

Larval chironomids feed on algae, diatomae, detritus, decaying plant andanimal fragments. The larvae in turn are food for other carnivore and omnivoreanimals. Thus, larval chironomids have a very important role in the aquatic foodcycle. In this study, the algal flora in the stomachs of Tanypus punctipennis, which isknown as a very common species in Turkish Thrace, was examined in terms ofqualitative and quantitative factors. It was found that Bacillariophyta was thedominant group with 42 taxa in the stomach of T. punctipennis. It was followed byCyanophyta with 3 taxa, Euglenophyta with 6 taxa, Chlorophyta with 4 taxa,Carophyta with 2 taxa, and Rhodophyta with 1 taxa.

Özet

Chironomid larvaları algler, diatomlar, detritus, bitki ve hayvansal parçalarla beslenir. Chironomid larvaları ayrıca etobur ve omnivore hayvanlar için besindir. Böylece, larval chironomids sudaki besin döngüsünde çok önemli bir role sahip olmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye Trakya’sında yaygın olarak bulunan Tanypus punctipennis larvalarının mide içeriğindeki alg florası kalitatif ve kantitatif olarak incelenmiştir. Bacillariophyta 42 takson ile T. punctipennis larvalarının midesinde hakim grup olarak tespit edilmiştir. Bu grubu 3 takson ile Cyanophyta, 6 takson ile Euglenophyta, 4 takson ile Chlorophyta, 2 takson ile Charophyta ve 1 takson ile Rhodophyta grubu takip etmiştir.
