“…Contamination of water resources leads to irreversible problems (Atalık, 2006). Thus water pollution issue has an increasing importance in the world (Palmer, 1980;Gönülol & Obalı, 1986). Lakes comprise an important part of natural ecosystems with a lot of features, such as biological diversity, fishery, recreation, and hydrologic cycle.…”

In this study, distribution of epilithic algae assemblages in Lake Kovada and Kovada Channel, their relationships to environmental factors, and biological water quality were investigated. Epilithic algae and water samples were taken from four stations (one in the channel, others in the lake), between June 2012-May 2013 seasonally. Totally 51 taxa were o b s e r v e d belonging to the groups Bacillariophyta (37), Chlorophyta (8), Charophyta (4) and Cyanobacteria (2), respectively. The stations were clustered into main two groups based on UPGMA. The highest similarity value was determined between third and fourth station (94%). Saprobic Index (SI) was applied in order to determine biological water quality. Physicochemical parameters have been evaluated according to the Klee's method and Regulation on the Management of Surface Water Quality in Turkish (RMSWQ). According to the Klee's method, water quality was found unpolluted in Kovada Lake, and its channel while it was found as polluted based on RMSWQ. Biological water quality values indicated Lake Kovada as poorly polluted, but its channel as polluted. According to CCA, 84.6% of the variance was described by the first four axes of the relations of species and environmental variables (r=0.963), and pH, conductivity and Clwere found to be the most influential variables on distribution of dominant taxa.

“…It was widespread in epihytic especially in Karababa (Firat) underbridge algal flora in April 2002 and was from time to time, found in Karkamış Dam plankton. It was also identified in Altınapa Dam Lake, Dağbaşı and in Karamık lakes (Yıldız, 1986;Şahin, 2001;Gönülol and Obalı, 1986). Zygnema species by ratio was observed more in abundance in this region.…”

“…As a result of this, Oedogonium is recorded on the genus level. This species shows a wide distribution in Turkish freshwaters -Altınapa, Suat Uğurlu Dams, Karamık, Uzungöl, Dağbaşı, Tortum lakes with Samsun-İncesu, Kılıçözü Streams and in freshwaters around Trabzon area (Yıldız, 1986;Yazıcı and Gönülol, 1994;Gönülol and Obalı, 1986;Şahin, 1998;Şahin, 2001;Altuner and Aykulu, 1987;Gönülol and Arslan, 1992;Baykal et al, 2001;Şahin, 1993).…”

“…M. aeruginosa species was observed to have had blooms from place to place in several freshwater media. For instance, in Mogan, Karamık lakes, Kurtboğazı and in the phytoplankton of Suat Uğurlu Dams, this situation occured a few times (Obalı, 1984;Gönülol and Obalı, 1986;Aykulu and Obalı, 1981;Yazıcı and Gönülol, 1994). However, in this study, Cymbella spp.…”

The research on the algae of the Lower Euphrates Basin of the South East Anatolian Region was done between November 2001 and August 2003 at twenty one stations each, on four different habitats (plankton, epipelon, epifithon, epilithon). Due to the density level of species, Cyanobacteria, Bacillariophyta and Chlorophycophyta were conspicous. A bloom of Microcystis aeruginosa was observed in Atatürk and Halfeti Reservoirs in September 2002. In the same period, Cyclotella ocellata, in May 2003 Cyclostephanos dubius, and in August the same year. It could be said that Ceratium hirundinella species were close to bloom level. High density diatoms were found more in plankton. Species such as Oscillatoria spp., Spirogyra spp. and Lyngbya spp. were observed to be more widespread than the others. Species such as Oscillatoria spp., Leiblenia epiphytica and Phormidium mucicola increased in abundance in February and September in running waters. Within these months, water temperature in the region ranged between 18-22°C. According to some chemical and biological data, the basin was mesotrophic while some streams with sewage inputs, were observed to have eutrophic characteristics.
