Abstract

The species composition and diversity of epipelic algae and physicochemical characteristics in Limni Lake were studied between June and November 2005. The epipelic algal flora is comprised of 46 taxa from four divisions: Bacillariophyta (22), Chlorophyta (15), Euglenophyta (8) and Dinophyta (1). Gonatozygon aculeatum is a new record for Turkey. Some physical factors, such as light and temperature affected development of the epipelic algal flora. The seasonal changes in the diversity index showed an inverse pattern to total cell number. Limni Lake has eutrophic lake characteristics.
