Abstract (EN)

Epibiont diatoms from loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta LINNEAUS, 1758) carapace which come to lay eggs in İztuzu Beach, Muğla were observed in this study. Diatoms were collected from loggerhead sea turtles between the years of 2011-2016 during the nesting season and the high degree of biodiversity was discovered. 244 taxa from 86 genera were identified. Identified species were investigated in terms of taxonomy and biogeography. As a resut, it was found that most of the taxa observed in this study have not been recorded from Turkish coasts up to now and the results show loggerhead sea turtles are good hosts for diatoms.
