Abstract

This study was carried out seasonally at 8 stations determined in Deriner Dam Lake between 2020 and 2021. In order to determine the seasonal zooplankton taxon diversity and richness at the determined stations, the samples were collected in the surface water with a plankton net with a pore size of 55 µm. In the zooplankton distribution of Deriner Dam Lake, more zooplankton was recorded in autumn and spring seasons compared to other seasons in terms of both the number of species and the number of individuals. Although the number of Rotifera species is high, the most common species in terms of individual numbers belong to the Copepoda group. Asplanchna sieboldi from Rotifera, Acanhopdiaptomus denticornis from Copepoda and Daphnia cucullata from Cladocera were the dominant species of their groups
