An investigation of some physicochemical parameters of water quality and aquatic Coleoptera diversity at Eber, Emre, Karamık and Pınarbaşı Lakes (Afyon, Turkey)
Abstract :This study was conducted to determine the
physicochemical parameters (pH, temperature, electrical conductivity, salinity
and dissolved oxygen) of water quality at Eber Lake, Emre Lake, Karamık Lake and Pınarbaşı Lake in Afyon province.
Additionally we determined the effects of these parameters on aquatic
Coleoptera diversity by taking water and insect samples every month from these
lakes between May 2009 - September 2009 and April 2010 - September 2010 As a result of the
study 69 aquatic Coleoptera species were
identified in these lakes. It has been
determined that the lakes have I-II water quality according to WPCR (in terms
of pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen). It is thought that the monthly
fluctuations in the physicochemical parameters and the differences in the mean
values are
considered to be effective in the distribution of the aquatic Coleoptera
according to the ponds
