AB  - Bottom samples were collected monthly between September 2005 and November 2006 from 3 stations in order to determine Chironomidae larva and their seasonal distributions in TMI 12 Pond. During the study period 14 species belonging to 2 subfamily of Chironomidae were recorded. <I>Chironomus plumosus</I> was determined as the dominant species. <I>Chironomus plumosus</I>, <I>Chironomus thummi</I>, <I>Chironomus anthracinus</I> and<I> Chironomus tentans </I>were present in all stations. The most numbers of larvae were recorded in winter, the least were recorded in spring months. Also spring was recorded as the poorest season as to Shannon-Wiener species diversity index values. The other seasons index results were showed similarities with each other.
