A research on some physicochemical parameters and aquatic Coleptera diversity in Acı, Süleymanlı, Kara and Saklı Lakes (Denizli, Turkey)
Abstract :This study was conducted to determine the
physicochemical parameters (pH, temperature, electrical conductivity, salinity
and dissolved oxygen) of water quality at Acı Lake, Süleymanlı Lake, Kara Lake and Saklı Lake in Denizli
province. Additionally we determined the effects of these parameters on aquatic
Coleoptera diversity by taking water and insect samples were collected every
month from these lakes between May 2009 - September 2009 and April 2010 -
September 2010. As a result of the study 49 aquatic Coleoptera
species were identified in these lakes. It has been determined that
lakes have I-II water quality according to their average values (pH,
temperature, dissolved oxygen) according to WPCR. This study also showed the
monthly fluctuations and the differences in the mean values in the
physicochemical parameters are considered to be effective in the distributions
of aquatic Coleoptera
