Abstract

     In this study it was aimed to determine the zooplankton fauna and its
seasonal variations in Keban Dam Lake Yurtbaşı region. Zooplankton samples have
been collected monthly between May 2011–April 2012. During the study, 29 species belong to Rotifera, 9 species
belong to Cladocera and 2 species belong
to Copepoda have been identified from Keban Dam Lake Yurtbası Region. As
a result of Shannon Wiener species richness index analysis of Keban Dam Lake Yurtbası Region, species
richness was found highest in may (H′=2.72) and the lowest index value was found in february
(H′=0.91).
According
to Margalef index analysis of Keban Dam Lake Yurtbası Region, species richness
was found highest in may (D=3.86)
and
the least value was found in january (D=0.62). Among all zooplankton, Rotifera was represented
with 83.5%, Cladocera 11.5% and Copepoda 5%.
