Abstract :A computer-based image database for freshwater algae recorded in Turkey has been established. A separate page was prepared for each algal taxon and each page includes images and taxonomic and ecological information related to the taxon. Algal images were obtained mainly from authors of algal studies previously carried out in various freshwater bodies in Turkey. Data were then standardized in accordance with that of the central database of Turkish herbaria and a database for Turkish freshwater algae, which were previously established through TÜBİTAK projects. The database program Access was used to enter data, as this program recognizes Turkish characters. A total of 627 data with images were installed in the database. These belonged to Bacillariophyta insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(202 data);, Chlorophyta insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(255 data);, Chrysophyta insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3 data);, Cryptophyta insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2 data);, Cyanophyta insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(87 data);, Dinophyta, insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(12 data);, Euglenophyta insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(61 data);, Prasinophyta insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1 datum);, Rhodophyta insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1 datum);, and Xanthophyta insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3 data);.
