This study was conducted between March 2019 and June 2019, analyzing the benthic algae sampled from Karapınar stream in Mersin. It was aimed to investigate the algal flora, considering that physical and chemical features of Karapınar stream is stable throughout the year and it is different than other habibats. Before sampling, the temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen and conductivity of water has been quantified. In this study, 39 taxa were identified. 30 of these taxa belong to Bacillariophyta, 1 to Cyanophyta, 1 to Charophyta, and 1 to Chlorophyta. Moreover, 6 taxa that belong to Bacillariophyta couldn’t been idendified in terms of their genus.
