Özet

In this study, morphometric measurements of Lymnaea stagnalis (L., 1758) individuals collected from Dogubeyazit reeds were investigated. Accordingly, on avarage, shell height, shell width, aperture height, aperture width, body whorl height and spire height were found as 33.70 mm, 17.18 mm, 18.75 mm, 11.64 mm, 25.96 mm, 8.32 mm respectively. Average weight was found 0.55 g. At the same time the correlation of between shell height-shell weight and shell width-shell weight was determined. Shell height-shell weight relationship was found as KY=40.115W(0.2675) (r=0.953) and shell width-shell weight relationship as KG=20.902W(0.3033) (r=0.889). With this study, Lymnaea stagnalis has been firstly reported from mentioned area.
