A Preliminary Research on the Trichoptera Fauna of the Kura-Aras River Basin and Eastern Black Sea Streams

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the Trichoptera species distributed in the Kura-Aras river basin and Eastern Black sea coastal rivers within the borders of Turkey. For this purpose, samples were taken from a total of 51 stations, each individual was separated according to its morphological characteristics and species identification was completed. A total of 44 Trichoptera species were recorded as a result of the samplings made from two different river basins with flow within the borders of Turkey. Although Trichoptera species distributed in the Eastern Black Sea basin have been identified before, this study was conducted for the first time for the Kura-Aras river basin. Species identified from the Kura-Aras river system are new records for the basin.
