In this study, the mollusca fauna and their seasonal variation with some physical and chemical properties of Down Sakarya River were
investigated during the period of January 2008–October 2008. The mollusca fauna of the river consists of a total of 11 species, 8 of
which belong to Gastropoda, two Prosobanchia (Viviparus viviparus, Bithynia tentaculata), six Pulmonata (Physella acuta, Galba
truncatula, Radix labiata, Lymnaeaa stagnalis, Planorbarius corneus and Planorbis planorbis) and three Bivalvia (Unio pictorum,
Dreissena polymorpha, Anadonta cygnea). Also some physico-chemical variables of collecting sites (water temperature, pH,
dissolved oxygen, NO --N, NO -N) were given. Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) species relationships with 3 2 -
environmental factors (95.9 %) were examined. Species and some environmental variables of collecting sites were recorded in
Region for the first time.
