“…Several studies have been carried out on benthic macroinvertebrates in freshwater ecosystems of Gökçeada (i.e. Şahin et al 1988;Balık & Ustaoğlu 1993;Özkan 2006;Çamur-Elipek & Aslan 2007;Özbek & Özkan 2017;Zeybek et al 2017;Aslan et al 2018;Odabaşı et al 2019). In addition to the records of benthic macroinvertebrates reported in the above studies, 51 taxa were recorded for the first time during this study.…”

“…Similar to the Aegean Islands, no complete documentation is available for freshwater invertebrates of Gökçeada and Bozcaada (the northeastern Aegean Sea). Several studies have been carried out to investigate specific taxa on Gökçeada, including Chironomidae, Ephemeroptera, Odonata, Amphipoda, Isopoda, Gastropoda, and Oligochaeta (Şahin et al 1988;Özkan 2006;Özbek & Özkan 2017;Zeybek et al 2017;Aslan et al 2018;Odabaşı et al 2019).…”

Island ecosystems have attracted the attention of scientists since the early days of science because of their formation and biodiversity. Despite their abundant freshwater resources, data on freshwater diversity of Gökçeada are incomplete, especially for macroinvertebrates. This study was conducted in a wide range of freshwater ecosystems on Gökçeada between May 2016 and September 2018. Sampling of macroinvertebrates was performed using a hand net from 34 pre-selected sampling sites on the island. A total of 78 aquatic macroinvertebrate taxa were found, 46 of which are new records for the island. The most common species during the study were Gammarus komareki and Bythinella gokceadaensis with a frequency of 25.93%, followed by Tubifex tubifex, Gammarus sp. and Caenis sp. with a frequency of 22.22%. Endemic and invasive species on the island were assessed according to their presence and frequency values. Based on the results of the current study and previous data, it can be concluded that Gökçeada is characterized by a remarkable species diversity compared to aquatic macroinvertebrates on other Aegean islands.

“…Besides, there are several endemic species in the collection which were deposited as holotype or paratype materials including Theodoxus gloerii The majority of taxa obtained from the scientific studies carried out in the streams of Northern Aegean Basin (e.g. Odabaşı, et al, 2013;Odabaşı & Georgiev, 2014;Odabaşı, et al, 2015;Odabaşı & Arslan, 2015a;Odabaşı & Arslan, 2015b;Odabaşı & Odabaşı, 2017;Odabaşı, et al, 2019a;Odabaşı, et al, 2019b;Odabaşı, et al, 2020;Bal, et al, 2021), whereas several materials are transferred from the domestic or foreign museums (e.g. Bithynia tentaculata (Linnaeus, 1758), Bythinella charpentieri (J. R. Roth, 1855), Theodoxus anatolicus (Récluz, 1841), Melanopsis costata (Olivier, 1804) etc.)…”

Objective: Natural History Museums are important organizations that increase the awareness of the public on biodiversity, nature, and its conservation. Museums or collections like these, enable the recognition of organisms that are now extinct or that cannot always be seen in nature. Thus, the establishment of such collections can be very useful for the formation of nature consciousness. In this study, the aquatic Mollusca Catalog of the Limnology Museum of Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University (COMULM) is presented. Materials and Methods:The specimens of the collection were identified according to the identification references under a stereomicroscope and fixed with 80 % alcohol or remained dry in glass vials or plastic tubes. All the materials were labeled and transferred to the multi-drawer archive cabinet in the Marine and Inland Water Laboratory, Faculty of Marine Science and Technology. This catalog, which contains 53 taxa, includes local endemics and common taxa as well as invasive-exotic taxa mainly from Turkey. The list of the Mollusca catalog was presented by following the current taxonomic nomenclature. Results: According to the results, nine of the Mollusca belong to Bivalvia and the 44 of which are Gastropoda. In total, 2301 specimens were counted in the catalog, and the species with the highest specimen number (419 individuals) is Physella acuta. Considering the geographical distributions of the Mollusca species in this catalog, the eleven species of freshwater gastropods in the catalog are endemic to Turkey, whereas three of the freshwater gastropods are endemic to the Middle East, Balkans, and some of the Greek Islands in the Aegean Sea. On the other hand, some gastropod species are not naturally found in our aquatic systems, which were collected from ornamental purpose aquariums. Conclusion:In this context, the Mollusca museum of the COMULM is capable of contributing to Turkey's faunistic studies by enabling taxonomic comparisons and investigations to the scientists.

“…capable of movement by either natural or anthropogenic means [8], relocating to more suitable locations with rapid distribution to wider areas, makes zebra mussel control extremely difficult [9]. Zebra mussels produce millions of eggs during a spawning season which showed a remarkable increase in the last decade in freshwater ecosystems of Turkey [10]. So far, several methods and control measures for mitigating biofouling and population size of zebra mussels are known with limited reports on the use of different chemicals [11], physical and mechanical treatments [12], coating [13], or biological treatments by introducing species feeding on zebra mussel [14,15].…”

The dispersal of zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) in freshwaters of Eastern Europe, North America and West Asia [1], became a significant problem due to severe environmental consequences such as rapid colonization on new areas in the aquatic ecosystem [2], shifts in food web and its dynamics, loss of zooplankton species [3], changes in feeding ecology and trophic conditions of endemic fish species [4, 5], with remarkable economic consequences [6]. Zebra mussel has been the most aggressive freshwater invader in wide areas of freshwater ecosystems around the world and are the only freshwater bivalve species that attach to hard substrates in high densities and have a planktonic larval stage [7]. Although veligers can settle upon a variety of surfaces, survival is influenced by surface selection, and hard structures are usually suitable surfaces for attachment. Once it has attached to a surface, both eggs and larvae of zebra mussels are
