Özet
This study aims to determine the diversity and abundance of zooplankton in Merig River that forming a border between Greece and Turkey is the biggest river (539 km in length) in Balkan Peninsula. Samples were collected in monthly intervals between March 2011 and February 2012 from eight different stations using a Hensen type plankton net with a mesh size of 55 nm. The samples were preserved in 4% formalin. Qualitative and quantitative analyses revealed the presence of 85 taxa in total, including 52 taxa of Rotifera, 21 taxa of Cladocera and 12 taxa of Copepoda. Rotifera presented the highest relative abundance (87 %) and density (739,13 ind./m(3)) followed by Copepoda (density of 85,48 ind./m(3) and abundance of 10 %) and Cladocera (density of 29,16 ind./m(3) and abundance of 3 %). Thirteen environmental parameters were measured to determine the physicochemical of the river.
