Abstract
In this research, zooplankton and some water quality parameters were investigated in Beytepe Pond (Ankara / Turkey). The material of the study consists of zoplankton samples taken from 3 stations (3 zones on the pond) and water quality parameters taken from 5 stations (3 zones on the pond and pond inlet and outlet zones) in the field study on 24.09.2018. When evaluated according to general chemical and physicochemical parameters of inland water resources; In terms of nitrate nitrogen and orthophosphate values, the pond is of 2nd class quality; According to the same criteria, it was found as 3rd quality in terms of total nitrogen and total phosphorus. A total of 13 zooplankton species were identified. Rotifera groups (85%) and Cladocera (15%) were detected in the pond. The maximum number of species was found at the 1st station (11 species), and the minimum number of species was determined at the 2nd and 3rd (5 species) stations. The dominant species were determined as Polyarthra dolichoptera, Keratella cochlearis and Trichocerca pusilla.
