First Record of Dreissena caputlacus (Schütt, 1993) and Dreissena polymorpha gallandi (Locard, 1893) in Çamlıgöze Dam Lake (Sivas, Türkiye) and Evaluation of Some Biometric Parameters; [Çamlıgöze Baraj Gölü'nde (Sivas, Türkiye) Dreissena caputlacus (Schütt, 1993) ve Dreissena polymorpha gallandi (Locard, 1893)'nin İlk Kaydı ve Bazı Biyometrik Parametrelerin Değerlendirilmesi]

In this study, the presence and biometric characteristics of Dreissena caputlacus (Schütt, 1993) and Dreissena polymorpha gallandi (Locard, 1893) populations were determined in Çamlıgöze Dam Lake. Shell length (SL), shell height (SH), shell width (SW) data of individuals collected in the study area were used with a digital caliper; The weights of individuals (W) were determined using precision scales. The means of SL, SW, SH and W in D. caputlacus and D. polymorpha gallandi were determined as 22.66±4.33 and 30.03±3.17 mm, 15.88±4.16 and 14.54±1.46 mm; 13.37±2.85 and 14.51±1.41 mm; 94±1.12 and 3.29±0.95 g, respectively. According to principal component analysis, there was a strong relationship between SH, SW, SL and W for both species. For D. caputlacus and D. polymorpha gallandi, 82.283% and 94.502% of the total variance was explained by two principal components. D. caputlacus and D. polymorpha gallandi populations from Çamlıgöze Dam Lake were reported for the first time in this study.
