Considering the studies related to the freshwater molluscs in Turkey, it can be seen that the first checklist was done in freshwater and brackish water in 1999 and 72 taxa were determined. One of the checklists published in 2006 included just the freshwater pulmonate species and in this checklist 28 taxa were reported. Another checklist on prosobranchia was also released in the same year and 80 taxa were identified. Any studies on this subject have not been done since 2006. In this paper all studies related to freshwater were recorded, and the existence of 204 taxa (164 species belonging to Gastropoda and 40 species belonging to Bivalvia) were given. A checklist about the Bivalvia in Turkey was also presented for the first time in this paper.

ABSTRACT
Considering the studies related to the freshwa-
ter molluscs in Turkey, it can be seen that the first
checklist was done in freshwater and brackish water
in 1999 and 72 taxa were determined. One of the
checklists published in 2006 included just the fresh-
water pulmonate species and in this checklist 28 taxa
were reported. Another checklist on prosobranchia
was also released in the same year and 80 taxa were
identified. Any studies on this subject have not been
done since 2006. In this paper all studies related to

freshwater were recorded, and the existence of 204
taxa (164 species belonging to Gastropoda and 40
species belonging to Bivalvia) were given. A check-
list about the Bivalvia in Turkey was also presented
for the first time in this paper.

INTRODUCTION
Freshwater molluscs key component role in
aquatic ecosystems, providing food for many fish
species [1, 2] and vertebrates [3]. According to
Wosu, 2003 they prove immensely beneficial both
economically and medicinally [4]. They have been
important to humans throughout history as a source
of food, jewellery, tools and even pets. Freshwater
molluscs play significant role in public and veteri-
nary health [5]. Some freshwater molluscs are vec-
tors of diseases of humans and livestock, serve as the
intermediate hosts for a number of infections such as
helminth diseases caused by trematodes [6]. Among
the most important diseases of humans and animals
are fascioliasis (caused by Fasciola hepatica and F.
gigantea) and opisthorchiasis (caused by Opisthor-
chis felineus). Freshwater molluscs fall into two
main groups, the Bivalvia and the Gastropoda, with
the latter dividing into two informal groups, the
prosobranches and the pulmonates [7].
The aims of this study are to summarize the
available information about the mollusca diversity in
the freshwater of Turkey and to determine the distri-
bution of species richness.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
To preparing of the Turkish freshwater malaco-
fauna, related publications on freshwater bivalvia
and gastropoda from Turkey were analyzed. 143 pa-
pers (between 1841 and 2019) were used in the
checklist. The first taxonomic studies in Turkey
about freshwater mollusks were performed by Re-
cluz in 1841 [8].
While preparing the checklist, all the studies
that have been performed were taken into account.
Studies were conducted so as to provide geograph-
ical distribution in Turkey and accordingly the coun-
try was divided into eight separate regions and there-
fore the regions in which most and least studies were
performed were determined. ArcGIS 9.3 software
was used while conducting these operations.
RESULTS
As a result of the studies conducted on gastrop-
oda and bivalvia in Turkey, the presence of 204 taxa
have been reported (Table 1).
DISCUSSION
In Turkey, when we look at the studies per-
formed so far, it can be observed that the studies are
focused on the Mediterranean, Aegean, Marmara
and Central Anatolia regions. According to the num-
ber of species found and the scientific study average,
the least studied regions are Eastern Anatolia and
Eastern Black Sea regions (Figure 1).

In the Mediterranean, Aegean, Marmara and
Central Anatolia regions, the most common proso-
branch species are Theodoxus and Melanopsis. Apart
from these, Islamia, Graecoanatolica, Bithynia,
Pseudobithynia and Pseudamnicola species are dis-
tributed intensively. Again endemism is very high in
these genus. Planorbiid and Lymnaeid which belong
to Pulmonata snails are observed frequently in inter-
nal waters of Turkey. Although it appears that the
number of studies conducted in the Mediterranean
Region is directly proportional to the number of
species found, the zoogeographical location and for-
mation of this region has increased this richness. The
Mediterranean was formed geologically in a close
period. In the Late Miocene times, it used to stretch
to most of Eastern Europe and part of Asia 11.6 to
5.3 million years ago. In the time of the Mio-Plio-
cene, this large but shallow sea was divided into
brackish and fresh water basins. Today the Mediter-
ranean region has many freshwater stream systems
and many endemic species. Hydrobiidae and

Bithyniidae are the most frequent groups in these
waters with many Gastropod species [147].
In studies conducted to date in Turkey, 113 spe-
cies from subclassis of Prosobranchia and 11
subspecies (totally 124 species) were identified. 63%
of these species are Endemic and this subclass
demonstrates very high level of endemism. 21% of
the detected species are Palearctic and 13% are of

Levant origin. The other 3% are from the Mediterra-
nean, Afro- tropical and Australasia (Figure 2).
In previous studies conducted on Prosobran-

cies and 12 subspecies and the endemism was close

et al. in 2006, it was stated that the number of species
reached up to 80 [76]. The acceptance of a zone as a
zoogeographic region suggests that the endemism
must reach 50% [32; 116]. According to this theory;
the fact that 63% of the Prosobranches living in An-
atolia are endemic species, makes the region a zoo-
geographic one.
At the end of the study, a total of 40 species
were identified from the subclassis of Pulmonata.
Only 20% of these species are endemic. 46% of the
remaining species are Palearctic, 17% are Levant,
12% are Holarctic, 3% are Indotropical, and 2% are
Afrotropical region members (Figure 3). In the study
conducted by Yildirim et al. (2006) it was mentioned
about the existence of 28 species in Turkey while he
did not incorporate Radix balthica species as there
are no sufficient data [61]. This checklist included
11 species and Radix balthica (= Lymnaea balthica
f. ovata), which was recorded by Sturany (1905),
Forcart (1953) and Götting (1961) [102; 109; 110].
Studies involving freshwater Bivalvs made up
to now have detected 33 species and 7 subspecies.
45% of these species are Palearctic, 23% are Holarc-
tic, 22% are Endemic and 10% are Middle East

(Figure 4). Endemic species, including 4 subspecies
and 5 species belong to the genus Dreissena.
In the study conducted by Modell (1951) he
mentioned about their migration route of bivalves
living in Turkey, the migration route he revealed
complies with zoogeographic origins identified in
our study [148]. In the aforementioned study, Cen-
tral European forms, Nile-Mediterranean forms,
South Asian forms and species from the Caucasus
were mentioned. Many of the species given in the
checklist confirm this theory in terms of origin.
9 species and 1 subspecies of the Sphaeriidae
family were given in Bivalves. However, the species
are often zoogeographically from distant regions and
this fact raise suspicion about the accuracy of the di-
agnosis. It is suggested that this family should be re-
vised in future studies.
With this study, zoogeographical distribution
of freshwater molluscs of Turkey and their current
systematic situation were demonstrated. While spe-
cies list was prepared all malacological studies per-
formed in Turkey up to now were taken into consid-
eration. In addition to systematic studies, parasito-
logical and water quality studies were added to the
records provided in the articles. However, many tax-
onomic errors were encountered in these studies. Es-
pecially species names and localization records in
water quality studies are quite complicated and con-
tain contradictions. Even if aforementioned studies
are included in the checklist, revisions and more
careful definition are required in further studies.

... Among the notable fauna are freshwater snails belonging to the Gastropoda class, which constitute a significant portion of the Mollusca. Within aquatic ecosystems, freshwater molluscs serve as essential components, being preyed upon by numerous fish species and other vertebrates (Yıldırım, 1999;Yıldırım et al., 2006a,b;Yıldırım and Kebapçı, 2009;Gürlek et al., 2019). Furthermore, they hold economic and medicinal importance. ...
... Additionally, they play crucial roles in both veterinary and public health. Freshwater molluscs are primarily categorized into two main groups: the Bivalvia and the Gastropoda (Gürlek et al., 2019). ...
... The widely distributed and common Palearctic species, S. palustris (Müller, 1774), can be encountered in various habitats, particularly in permanent aquatic bodies with rich vegetation such as rivers, lakes, wetlands, and ponds. This species has been reported in all regions studied in Turkey (Şeşen ve Yıldırım, 1993;Öktener, 2010;Taştan and Mısırlıoğlu, 2010;Yıldırım and Gürlek, 2019). The present study focus on compare the morphometric parameters of S. palustris in Kütahya using multivariate statistical methods. ...

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that becomes apparent throughout the early stages of life. The cause of autism, which has seen a rise in prevalence in recent times, remains uncertain and is a multifactorial disease. This disease is characterized by malfunctions in the central nervous system, immunological system, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondria, and gut microbiota. While there is no definitive remedy for autism, several therapies are accessible based on the specific issue. In this context, this study has shown that several honey bee products, such as honey, bee pollen, and propolis, may be safely used to improve oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, impaired detoxification, and changing gut microbiota, which are all factors implicated in the development of ASD. Consequently, research on the use of honey bee products in autism is recent and few. Besides, other honey bee products like bee bread, royal jelly, and apilarnil have the potential to be beneficial in reducing the occurrence of symptoms associated with ASD because of their powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capabilities. Further clinical and pre-clinical investigation is necessary to examine the potential of honey bee products as a source of antioxidants for protecting against pathophysiological events in ASD in the future.
... Bithynia tentaculata (SH 6.7 mm, SW 4.56 mm on average) is characterized by its flattened whorls, large body whorl, and closed umbilicus. According to Gürlek et al. (2019), B. leachii (Sheppard, 1823), B. phialensis, and B. badiella are not known with certainty from Türkiye, and so they are not included the comparison. The family Bithyniidae shows high endemism in southern Europe, especially countries in the south-eastern Mediterranean such as Greece and Türkiye (Glöer & Maassen 2009, Glöer et al. 2010, so there is no need to compare Bithynia species from other countries. ...
... During the diagnosis of the samples, literature sources such as Elliot (1988), Friday (1988), Bouchard (2004), Smith (1989, Gürlek (2019), Gürlek (2009), Macan (1976, Savage (1990), Sağlam (2004), Nesemann & Neubert (1999), Dobson (2013), Soltesz (1996), and (Holzenthal, et al., 2007) were consulted. ...

In order to determine the water quality of Susurluk Stream, Çapraz Stream and Karadere, 5207 macrobenthos samples were collected and examined from 14 different stations in two different periods of 2021, and 37 families (Baetidae, Caenidae, Corixidae, Gerridae, Naucoridae, Nepidae, Hydrometridae, Pleidae, Mesovelidae, Coenagrionidae, Libellulidae, Calopterygidae, Cordulegasteridae, Gomphidae, Chironomidae, Stratiomyidae, Sciomyzidae, Ceratopogonidae, Simulidae, Hydropsychidae, Erpobdellidae, Glossiphonidae, Asellidae, Gammaridae, Physidae, Lymnaeidae, Melanopsidae, Planorbidae, Hydrobiidae, Viviparidae, Dytiscidae, Hydrophilidae, Hygrobiidae, Haliplidae, Curculionidae, Noteridae ve Unionidae) belonging to 15 orders were identified. In order to assess water quality, BMWP Original, BMWP Turkish, BMWP Spanish, and ASPT biotic indices were employed. Index results were determined for each station during the first and second periods. Based on these results, five different water quality categories were calculated. Additionally, it was revealed that the Spanish version of the BMWP index can also be utilized in biotic index studies conducted in Turkey.
... Its location between two continents contributes to a highly diverse molluscan fauna (Şereflişan et al. 2009). Extensive research conducted in Turkish freshwaters has identified a total of 204 molluscan species, comprising 164 Gastropoda and 40 Bivalvia (Gurlek et al. 2019). Among these, caenogastropods are the most prevalent group. ...

This study presents new insights into the near-threatened endemic microsnail Sheitanok amidicus (Schütt & Şeşen, 1991), shedding light on its distribution and morphological characteristics, which have never been documented alive. Surveys conducted in 2023 uncovered two previously unknown localities where the species thrives: stenothermic springs in Tavşantepe village and a private farm in Diyarbakır, Turkey. The snail has whitishgrey body tissue, tentacles with an average length of 0.3 mm, and a foot extending up to 2 mm with grey dots on the upper part. The oval-shaped operculum has an average height and width of 0.4 and 0.3 mm, respectively. The shell width and height is 1.0 mm and 0.7 mm, respectively. The snail has unique features including an orange operculum, heartshaped blackish mouth parts and two blackish eyes at the base of its tentacles. Previously, the species was known to inhabit seven locations in Southeast Turkey. Its near threatened status on the IUCN Red List highlights the urgency of conservation efforts. The identification of these new locations provides hope for reducing the risk of extinction for S. amidicus. Additionally, describing the snail’s external characteristics would aid in systematic classification of newly found species within this monotypic genus.

Türkiye, which is one of the important speciation regions of the Palearctic Region, is one of the distribution centers of the genus Dreissena. Since the 1800s, many taxa belonging to the genus have been mentioned, especially by European researchers. However, in recent years, the existence of three taxa has been determined mainly in the lentic systems of Dreissena caputlacus (SCHÜTT 1993), Aegean and Mediterranean, Southeastern Anatolia; D. polymorpha anatolica (LOCARD 1893) especially in the Lakes Region and Aegean Sea. It has been reported that D. polymorpha gallandi (LOCARD 1893) is distributed in the Marmara and Western Black Sea Regions. In this study, the distribution of the genus has been tried to be revealed partially with Dreissena specimens collected from at least certain regions in line with the latest findings. However, it cannot be said that Dreissena taxa have not been fully revealed yet.

Background Prosthogonimus species is considered one of the most important pathogen parasites of poultry and wild birds because it causes defective egg formation, and deaths can be seen as a result of peritonitis. The genus Prosthogonimus is all‐around and has been reported in many areas worldwide. This study is research on the presence of Prosthogonimus species, one of the most pathogen trematodes of birds, in Türkiye and wild birds. Objective We conducted the present study to investigate the presence and prevalence of Prosthogonimus spp. in Türkiye. Methods We studied 183 individuals of 62 wild bird species in the Kızılırmak Delta. Wild birds that died naturally were necropsied and searched for oviducal flukes. Results After performing our parasitological study, we found that 4/180 birds were infected with Prosthogonimus spp. Aythya ferina, Ciconia ciconia, Erithacus rubecula and Turdus philomelos were infected with Prosthogonimus pellucidus, Prosthogonimus macrorchis, Prosthogonimus cuneatus and Prosthogonimus ovatus, respectively. Prosthogonimus species was reported for the first time from Türkiye, together with all species found. Conclusion The presence of Prosthogonimus species in Türkiye and wild birds was determined. We constructed a key of our found Prosthogonimus species based on their morphological characters.

Beyşehir Lake, located in one of the important karstic discharge basins of the Anatolian Plate, is Turkey's largest freshwater lake with a surface area of 703 km2, and is a very important wetland in terms of bio-ecological, socio-economic and cultural aspects. Although the first records on Beyşehir Lake fishery date back to the 1910’s, the first scientific findings on fisheries began in the 1950’s. Although it is very difficult to reach reliable data about the fishery of Lake Beyşehir, the main processes that have been effective on fishing from the 1950s to the present are: i) used fishing gear and methods, ii) changes in the trophic structure of the lake, iii) foreign fauna elements entering the lake, iv) the lake water level changes, v) fishermen's socio-economic and awareness level, vi) fisheries management strategies. The catch yield in the lake, which was 3 kg/ha in the 1950s, was determined as 9.54 kg/ha in 2020. While there have been significant changes in the fauna in the intervening time, it has been determined that there has been a significant increase in the number of fishermen with the increasing amount of catch. Today, 21 fish species live in the lake, which is at mesotrophic-eutrophic level today, 75.68% of the 885,739 kg catch caught in the lake, according to the average of 2019-2020, is Prussian carp (Carassius gibelio), 21.34% is pike perch (Sander lucioperca) and 2.98% is carp (Cyprinus carpio). According to the data of 2020, it has been determined that 385 hunters actively hunting in the lake have gained 8250 kg/year hunting and 8250 TL/year income level. As another result of this study, it was concluded that the biggest factor on the fishing ecosystem of Lake Beyşehir is untimely and excessive fishing.

Since Margaritifera marocana (Pallary, 1918) and M. laosensis (Lea, 1863) were rediscovered, M. homsensis (Lea, 1865) remains the only pearl mussel species known solely based on old shell samples from natural history museums. This is also the last pearl mussel species, which is absent in a phylogeny of the family. Here, we aimed to provide an integrative revision of the taxonomic status of M. homsensis from the Orontes Basin. Using a newly collected specimen from the River Karasu, Hatay Province, southern Turkey, five gene partitions were sequenced, the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), large ribosomal subunit rRNA (16S), large ribosomal subunit rDNA (28S) and its D3 expansion segment (D3), and small ribosomal subunit rDNA (18S). The multi-gene phylogeny indicates that M. homsensis is a sister taxon of M. auricularia, but both these species are closely related to M. marocana by nuclear genes. The main conchological features, i.e., the shell shape, teeth morphology, and mantle attachment scars, as well as Fourier shell shape analysis have not shown principal differences between M. homsensis and M. auricularia. Based on these data, we concluded that M. homsensis is a valid species that is most closely related to M. auricularia. Special conservation efforts for a population of M. homsensis discovered in Turkey, including the formation of a nature reserve, might contribute to the conservation of the species. Finally, an extensive search for surviving populations in Orontes drainage (southern Turkey, Lebanon, and Syria) and the Nahr-el-Kabir River (Lebanon and Syria) remains necessary to develop a transboundary conservation strategy for this unique taxon.
