dc.description.abstractZooplankton abundance and composition are one of the most important factorswhich affect the food web in aquatic ecosystems. The purpose of this study wasto determine the water quality of Bafa Lake in Turkey, based on zooplanktoncommunities. As the study case, Bafa Lake is one of the biggest lake in Turkey,and the lake is quite rich in terms of biodiversity. Bafa Lake is the under effectsof domestic, agricultural and industrial wastes that accumulate and cause thedeterioration of ecology in the lake by Büyük Menderes River. With this purpose,8 sampling sites were determined and zooplankton samples were collectedmonthly for two years. TSINRot index and various versions of diversity indiceswere used to determine the water quality and ecological status of Bafa Lake. Todetermine similarities between the stations, the stations were clustered by usingUPGMA based on zooplankton fauna. By applying Pearson Correlation,correlations between the indices based on zooplankton fauna were assessed. Withthe identification of collected zooplankton, a total of 73 taxa which belong togroups of Rotifera, Cladocera, Copepoda, and Meroplankton were detected. As aresult of similarity analysis, most similarity values were obtained between stations1, 2 and 8, respectively. According to TSINRot index, Bafa Lake has got a eutrophicecological state while according to all versions of diversity indices, Bafa Lake hasgot the ?-? mesosaprobic ecological state.en_US
