Abstract

The amount of the Potamon potamios Olivier 1804 population has many positive/negative effects on other aquatic life and is essential for aquatic biodiversity. It is therefore important to determine the population of Potamon potamios Olivier 1804. The population density of Potamon potamios Olivier 1804 is affected by temperature, precipitation, amount of water, and many other climatic factors. In this sense, mathematical model based on a fuzzy inference system was made to determine the population dynamics of this creature considering the climatic data in this study. In addition, correlation analysis has shown that this model can predict the population of this creature with 91% accuracy in untested climatic conditions.
