This study was carried out to determine the Hirudinea fauna to Lake Karagöl (Sındırgı-Balıkesir, Türkiye) and Lake Gölcük (Bigadiç-Balıkesir, Türkiye), which has not been found in any limnological studies before. It was determined the species of Placobdella costata, Helobdella stagnalis, Hirudo verbana, Haemopis sanguisuga and Dina punctata in Lake Karagöl and P. costata, Glossiphonia concolor, Dina lineata and D. punctata in Lake Gölcük. According to the findings of the present study Dina punctata was reported for the first time in the Turkish Hirudinea fauna. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Borabey Pond as an irrigation water resource is prone to potential pollution by agricultural practices as its watershed. This necessitates that adequate precautions are taken before the water quality is adversely affected for its intended use. In this respect it is of importance that the physical and hydrological conditions and stratification pattern of the pond be determined which have been conducted in this study. A high resolution bathymetric map if the pond was created by combining land measurements using RTK GPS and bathmetric data obtained using ADCP. The vertical temperature profile was obtained with two year long observations. The RTRM index was utilized to determine the stratification pattern. The epilimnion, metalimnion and hypolimnion volumes were calculated. It was found that the pond has a monomictic mixing pattern. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
