Abstract :In this study Cyanobacteria species of Mogan Lake, Beytepe Pond and Delice River were taxonomically investigated. The cyanobacteria specimens have been collected by monthly intervals from Mogan Lake and Beytepe Pond between October 2010 and September 2011. For the Delice River the laboratory samples which were collected by montly intervals between July 2007-May 2008 have been evaluated.Totally 15 genus and 41 taxa were identified, 22 species from Mogan lake, 19 species from Beytepe pond and 13 species from Delice river respectively. During the study species like Planktolyngbya limnetica and Aphanocapsa incerta were frequently observed for all months in Mogan Lake, Chrococcus turgidus and Chrococcus minimus were abundant in Beytepe Pond while Kamptonema formosum was dominant in Delice River. As a result species diversity and density were generally rich in Mogan Lake during fall and summer season while very low in the Delice River during winter season
