Phytoplankton biomass and species composition of lake Gölbafli (Hatay Turkey)

The lowest diversity value was observed in the first station in January, 2001. Lake Gölbafli has mesotrophic characteristics due to the seasonal distribution of phytoplanktonic organisms. However, it will be necessary to conduct further physical and chemical analyses of the lake water to obtain more detailed information about the trophic status of the lake.
