This study conducted experiments on phytoplankton composition, heavy metal contamination, and water quality parameters in the waterway connecting Lake Kucukcekmece and the Sea of Marmara in Istanbul, Turkey. Results showed that the area exhibited eutrophic characteristics, with variations in phytoplankton densities, chlorophyll-a contents, and concentrations of heavy metals and nutrient elements within certain ranges.
In this work, the experiments related to seasonal variations of phytoplankton composition and heavy metal contamination along with some water quality parameters were carried out throughout the channel, serving as a waterway between Lake Kucukcekmece and the Sea of Marmara. Considered as a Class B wetland, the lake has been stayed within the metropolitan area of Istanbul overtime. The samples from the surface water were taken monthly by using Nansen bottles at 5 sampling sites through the period of March-November. After experimental procedures, a total of 46 taxa were recorded belonging to Bacillariophyta (20), Charophyta (4), Chlorophyta (6), Cryptophyta (1), Cyanobacteria (4), Euglenozoa (3), and Miozoa (8) divisions. The phytoplankton densities were found to be varied from 76 individual cm' to 3,283 individual cm(-3) throughout the channel and the variation for chlorophyll-a contents was between 0.99-55.32 mg m(3) . From our results, the heavy metal and nutrient concentrations were found to be as: 0.78-1.55 mg L-1 for Al, 4.2813.88 mg L-1 for B, 1,201-1,693 mg L-1 for Ca, 45.20-120.40 mu g L(-1 )for Cd, 432.40-1,398.40 mu g L-1 for Cr, 232.00-1,043.00 mu g L-1 for Cu, 663.40-2,315.60 mu g L-1 for Fe, 626.20-1,435.20 mg L-1 for K, 738.001,113.00 mg L-1 for Mg, 1,882-6,084 mg L-1 for Na, 30.00-317.80 mu g L-1 for Ni, 17.40-158.00 mu g L-1 for Pb, and 440.20-1,186.20 mu g L-1 for Zn. According to the data obtained in this study, the area where research conducted was determined as having eutrophic characteristics.
