Abstract :This study was conducted seasonally in 2022 and 2023 in Reyhanlı Dam Lake (Hatay, Türkiye), which was established in 2020. Zooplankton fauna and main water quality characteristics were investigated. The average values of the water quality parameters (temperature, dissolved oxygen, conductivity and pH) measured in the dam lake were determined to be of first class water quality. A total of 67 species were identified, of which fifty-four (54) species were Rotifera (80.60 %), 7 species were Copepoda (10.45 %) and 6 species were Cladocera (8.95 %). Brachionidae was the most abundant with 14 species, Chydoridae represented by two species and Cyclopidae were represented by 3 species. According to the frequency index, 3 species (F ≥ 76%) were classified as constant and 11 species (75% > F ≥ 51%) were classified as common. Of the 67 species recorded, only 29 species were very abundant (●) and abundant (○) in the different seasons. The highest species richness was recorded in the summer, with 54 species.
