Özet
The zooplanktonic fauna of lake Golbasi was investigated in samples collected from 2 stations between May, 2001, and April, 2002. The zooplankton of lake Golbasi consist mainly of Cladocera, Copepoda and Rotifera groups. A total of 27 species composed of 2 Cladocerans, 2 Copepoda and 23 rotifers were identified. During the 1-year study period, the most dominant group was Rotifera. The highest number of Rotifera were observed in second station in May, 2001. Although the species belonging to Copepoda were found, except in some months, Cladocera species were only observed in the first station, November 2001. Rotifera had the highest biomass in second station in May, 2001. Lake Golbasi has mesotrophic-eutrophic characteristics due to the seasonal distribution of zooplanktonic organisms. However, the lake has mesotrophic characteristics due to the eutrophication index value. As a result, it will be necessary to conduct further physical and chemical analyses of the lake water to obtain more detailed information about the trophic status of the lake.
