Structure and spatial distribution of the Rotifera assemblages in Kırklareli Reservoir (Kırklareil/Turkey)

This study was carried out to determine the diversity, abundance, and seasonal distribution of Rotifera in Kırklareli Reservoir. samples were collected from May 2018 April 2019 at three stations reservoir some water quality parameters measured. The qualitative evaluation revealed presence 39 species reservoir. quantitative showed that 24727 ind/m³ on average found maximum organism number summer season (45690 ind/m3). 27.3 % total annual abundance composed Kellicottia longispina Reservoir followed by Polyarthra dolichoptera (24.6 %), Lecane luna (6.8 Asplanchna priodonta (6.4%), Synchaeta oblonga (5.3%) pectinate (4.9 %). priodonta, oblonga, pectinata, Keratella cochlearis, quadrata, dolichoptera, vulgaris Mytilina mucronata most common measured detected among acceptable values support aquatic life, especially community. densities a positive correlation with temperature Chlorophyll-a. According these results, we conclude has an oligomesotrophic character terms fauna physicochemical parameters.
