Nineteen zooplankton species of them belonging to 15 Rotifera, 2 Cladocera, 2 Copepoda were recorded from Çat Dam Lake (Malatya). One of these species, Lecane intrasinuata (Olofsson, 1917) is a new record for Turkish rotifer fauna.

The zooplankton community structure in Eğirdir Lake (Isparta-Turkey) was studied monthly throughout an annual cycle (January 2010-December 2010). The zooplankton community was represented by three main groups: Rotifera, Cladocera and Copepoda, respectively comprised 89.62%, 7.78% and 2.60% of the total zooplankton abundance. Eğirdir Lake was dominated by the rotifera Polyarthra dolichoptera in ...

Zooplankton was the only food component of common bream and silver bream, and the main food component of roach and bleak in the pelagic zone of the Dobczyce Reservoir (southern Poland) from April to October 1994. Cladocera and Copepoda constituted 67.9% of the food consumed by the whole fish community. The average size of eaten individuals ranged from 0.62 to 1.43 mm. Planktivorous fishes selec...

Zooplankton samples were taken seasonally from Hancağız Dam Lake between April 2012- May 2013 period. During the study, a total of 52 species (34 belong to genus Rotifera, 11 to Cladocera and 7 Copepoda) were found in Hancağız Dam Lake.Based on the number of individuals, rotifers were the dominant group in the dam lake (65.4%) followed by Cladocera (21.2%) and Copepoda (13.4%).All of the zoopla...

Constraints on lake communities are complex and are usually studied by using limited combinations of variables derived from measurements within or adjacent to study waters. While informative, results often provide limited insight about magnitude of simultaneous influences operating at multiple scales, such as lake- vs. watershed-scale. To formulate comparisons of such contrasting influences, we...

The species composition and abundance of the zooplankton community of seven reservoirs of the Paranapanema River, located between 22 degrees 37'-23 degrees 11'S and 48 degrees 55'-50 degrees 32'W, were analysed over four periods, in the year of 1979. The zooplankton community was composed of 76 species of Rotifera, 26 species of Cladocera and 7 species of Copepoda. For a large part of the perio...
