ABSTRACT This paper aims to identify the benthic macroinvertebrate fauna and some physicochemical char- acteristics of Kanak Dam Lake located in Şarkışla, Sivas. For this, water and sediment samples were taken from 4 stations of the lake between August 2016 to July 2017 at monthly intervals, and a detailed physicochemical analysis was carried out on these samples. While the identification of benthic macroinvertebrates was made to the lowest possible taxa (species, genus or families), some physicochemical characteristics of the lake water such as temperature, pH, electrical conduc- tivity, dissolved oxygen, SO4, PO4, NO3-N, NO2-N, Mg, Ca, total hardness, salinity and Cl levels were determined using various titrimetric and spectrophotometric methods. As a result, a total of ORCID IDs of the author: 30 taxa were identified and were classified as Oligochaeta, Chironomidae, Gastropoda and other M.T.D. 0000-0002-4828-2575; Insecta (Ephemeroptera, Trichoptera, Hemiptera (adult), Odonata, Plecoptera and larval Coleop- M.Ö.L. 0000-0002-3014-8060; tera). All the identified taxa were determined as the first records for the lake. While the tempera- K.K. 0000-0001-6849-4498; S.Y. 0000-0002-4565-6842 ture, pH, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, chloride and sulfate levels were found to have the first class quality according to Turkey’s water control regulations the NO3-N and NO2-N levels 1 Şarkısla Aşık Veysel Vocational in the lake were found to have the second and third class water quality, respectively.
