Özet

In order to determine algal species adapted to pollution, species collected from four different habitats (Epipelic, Epiphytic, Epilitic and Plankton) in areas in where branches of Ankara stream connect to Ankara stream were examined. A total of 151 taxa belong to four divisions (Bacillariophyta, Chlorophyta, Cyanophyta and Euglenophyta) were identified. 86 of 151 taxa were recorded from Bacillariophyta, 31 from Chlorophyta, 25 from Cyanophyta and 9 from Euglenophyta. Physical and chemical parameters during the working period were analyzed, and relation of these parameters with relative abundance level and presence of species in Ankara Stream were investigated.
