(Turkish Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences 15: 487-493 (2015), 2015) Mutlu, Ekrem; Aydın, Seyit; Kutlu, Banu
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of copper sulfate (CuSO4.(5 H2O)) on the Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Median (LC50) and minimum (LC1O) lethal concentrations of copper sulfate on Nile tilapia were determined via acute tests. LC50 values of copper sulfate for the 48th, 72nd and 96th hours were 13.15, 12.95 and 12.85 mg/L, respectively. LC10 values of 12, 11 and 9.5 mg/L were obtained for similar exposure periods (48th, 72nd and 96th hours), respectively. The effects of 1.5 mg/L dose of copper sulfate on growth rate, gross clinical observations and blood biochemical parameters of Nile tilapia were evaluated after 35, 65 and 95 days of exposure periods. The differences of growth rates between control and copper sulfate-exposed groups were not significant (P>0.05) at the end of 35, 65 and 95 days. Continuous exposure of Nile tilapia to 1.5 mg/L concentration of copper sulfate in water solution for three periods (35, 65 and 95 days) decreased the total protein, albumin, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), glucose (except the elevation in the exposed group at the end of 95 days period), magnesium (Mg+²), calcium (Ca+²), iron (Fe+²), potassium (K+), sodium (Na+1), chloride (CI-) and phosphate values in serum. The cholesterol, low density lipid (LDL), triglyceride, globulin, creatinine, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, uric acid and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) concentrations in the serum increased in copper sulfate-exposed fish.

Evaluation Of Water Quality Of Karacalar Dam (Ulaş-Sivas) By Using Physico-Chemical Methods
(Journal of Selçuk University Natural and Applied Science - Digital Proceeding Of The ICOEST’2014 - , SIDE, 2014) Mutlu, Ekrem; Kutlu, Banu; Yanık, Telat; Demir, Tuğba
Located in Upper-Kızılırmak plateau, Karacalar Dam Lake is located within borders of Karacalar and Yapalı villages of Ulaş district of Sivas city, and the water resource of the barrage is Karacalar Brook. Karacalar Barrage Lake has 1353 m altitude, 4.40 km2 lake surface, 49 hm3 lake volume, and it is very important role in watering the agricultural lands of Ulaş district. In this study, it has been aimed to determine the water quality characteristics of Karacalar Barrage Lake (Ulaş- Sivas) via physico-chemical methods, and to determine its class according to Water Pollution and Control Regulation and Drinking Water Standards Regulation). This study has been started in March 2011, and it has lasted for 1 year. The water samples have been collected monthly from 3 stations representing the whole of the lake. Among the water quality parameters, dissolved oxygen (D.O.), saltiness, pH, temperature, electrical conductivity (E.C.), suspended solid matters (SSM), chemical oxygen demand (COD) biological oxygen demand (BOD), total alkalinity, total hardness, total ammoniac azote, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, sulfate, sulfide, sodium, magnesium, calcium, ferrous, lead, copper and cadmium levels have been investigated in water samples. As a result of performed study, the monthly and seasonal water quality changes in Karacalar Barrage Lake has been determined, and it has been investigated it the lake is suitable for aquaculture activities.
Investigation TheWater Qualıty Of Çimenyenice Lake (Hafik- Sivas)
(Journal of Selçuk University Natural and Applied Science, 2014) Mutlu, Ekrem; Kutlu, Banu; Demir, Tuğba
Çimenyenice Lake is located in 9 km north of Hafik District of Sivas City, and its surface area is 0.57 km2. The altitude of this lake is 1,298 m, and it is fed with rain waters and snow waters, besides the water arising from deep of gypsum plateau. This natural lake is a very important habitat for aquatic birds in Sivas city, and it is under protection according to provisions of RAMSAR convention. The objective of this study is to determine the actual water quality characteristics of Çimenyenice Lake which is a natural lake. The study has started in November of 2011, and for 12 months, the samples have been taken monthly from 3 stations which have been chosen to reflect the properties of lake water homogenously. The parameters of temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, salinity, and electrical conductance were measured via field type devices in region. Dissolved oxygen and temperature were measured via YSI brand 52 model oxygen meter, pH measurement was conducted with Orion brand 420A model pH-meter, the electrical conductance (μs/cm) and salinity (ppt) were measured by using YSI brand 30/50 FT model conductance-meter. Other water quality parameters of Suspended Solid Matters (SSM), chemical oxygen need (CON), total alkalinity, total hardness, total ammonium azote, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, chloride, sodium, magnesium, calcium, and the heavy metals of ferrous, lead, copper and cadmium were analyzed in water samples taken to laboratory, and the analyses were executed within same day. As a result of performed study, the actual water quality of Çimenyenice Lake (Hafik-Sivas) was determined, it has been evaluated according to Surface Water Quality Management Regulation’s Inland Surface Water Classes criteria. A database was established for similar future to be executed in future.

(Journal of Selçuk University Natural and Applied Science, 2014) Mutlu, Ekrem; Kutlu, Banu; Demir, Tuğba; Yanık, Telat; Sutan, Nicoleta Anca
parameters of Beydilli River rising from foots of Karakis Mountain constituting the border of Gülpınar Village located in Hafik district of Sivas and Kızılalan Village being affiliated with central district of Sivas city, passing through Karabalçık, Beydilli, Bayıraltı and Düzyayla villages, mixing with Horohon Brook, and satisfying the drinking and usage water needs of Karabalçık and Beydilli villages, also being used in watering agricultural lands. It has also been aimed to create a database to be used in further studies on Beydilli River on which there has never been carried out any study. The study has been started in March 2011. Among the water quality parameters, the dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, temperature, saltiness, electrical conductivity (EC), suspended solid matter (SSM), chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD), total ammonic azote, nitrite, nitrate, total alkalinity, total hardness, phosphate, sulfate, sulfite, sodium, magnesium, calcium, ferrous, lead, copper and cadmium analyses have been carried out monthly for 12 months through sampling from 7 sampling stations. As a result of this study, it has been determined in which quality category Beydilli River’s water belongs to according to SWQMR, and it has been discussed whether or not the actual situation of water quality is suitable for aquacultural activities.
