Özet

The seasonal variations in composition and density of benthic algae of Kuzgun Dam Reservoir (KZDR) and the relationship between seasonal variations and environmental factors have been investigated in 2001 and 2002. Bacillariophyta was found to be the dominating group. Navicula rhynchocephala, N. salinarum, Amphora ovalis, Nitzschia palea, Oscillatoria limosa and Closterium parvulum were the dominating species in the benthic algal flora. The dominant species indicate organic pollution in the sediments of KZDR. The water temperature mostly influenced growth of benthic algae in this study.
