Based on the number of individuals, rotifers were the dominant group in the dam lake (65.4%) followed by Cladocera (21.2%) and Copepoda (13.4%). All of the zooplanktonic species have been detected for the first time in Hancağız Dam Lake. The datas determined from the zooplankton community in Hancağız Dam Lake wereanalysedbyShannonWienerspeciesrichnessindex (H), Margalef diversity index(D) and Sorenson similarity index.
