n this study, the level of water pollution in Lake Terkos, one of the important drinking water resources of Istanbul Metropolitan, was examined by determining the phytoplankton distribution, some physicochemical parameters, nutrients and heavy metal concentrations. For this purpose, samples were collected from eight sampling stations in March and September from the surface water. 34 taxa, from 8 divisions were categorized as Bacillariophyta (17), Charophyta (2), Chlorophyta (5), Cryptophyta (1), Cyanobacteria (5), Euglenozoa (2), Miozoa (1) and Ochrophyta (1). The habitat of blue-green algae A ...Daha fazlası
In this work, the experiments related to seasonal variations of phytoplankton composition and heavy metal contamination along with some water quality parameters were carried out throughout the channel, serving as a waterway between Lake Kucukcekmece and the Sea of Marmara. Considered as a Class B wetland, the lake has been stayed within the metropolitan area of Istanbul overtime. The samples from the surface water were taken monthly by using Nansen bottles at 5 sampling sites through the period of March-November. After experimental procedures, a total of 46 taxa were recorded belonging to Baci ...Daha fazlası
