The density of the common whelk (Buccinum undatum L.) off Douglas, Isle of Man, was determined by four methods: (1) pot sampling, (2) diving, (3) mark-recapture experiment, and (4) underwater television. Although the values obtained by these methods were comparable, the last two methods yielded overestimations of Buccinum density. The results from diving survey and from pot sampling showed a good agreement, indicating that pot sampling can be used to determine the density of the common whelk, provided a good estimate of the pot attraction area is available. The range of whelk density between February 1989 and August 1990 resulting from pot sampling was between 0.08 and 0.38 individuals m-2. The temporal fluctuations of the whelk densities are discussed in detail.

Testing early life connectivity supplying a marine fishery around the Falkland Islands Ashford, Julian R.; Fach Salihoğlu, Bettina Andrea; Arkhipkin, Alexander I.; Jones, Cynthia M. (2012-06-01) We used a wind-driven global circulation model to build spatially explicit predictions from rival hypotheses concerning advective supply of Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) to a trawl fishery around the Falkland Islands, and tested the predictions using chemistry recorded in the otoliths of fish caught in the fishery. Model simulations indicated transport pathways from spawning aggregations off southern Chile to both the north and south of the fishing area. In contrast, simulated particles re...
Patterns of dark respiration in aquatic systems Mantikci, Mustafa; Staehr, Peter A.; Hansen, Jorgen L. S.; Markager, Stiig (CSIRO Publishing, 2020-01-01) We used continuous measurements of dissolved oxygen (DO) in dark bottles to characterise patterns of the dark respiration rate (R-dark) for three marine phytoplankton monocultures and in natural-water samples from two marine coastal systems. Furthermore, patterns of ecosystem community respiration rate were determined from open-water changes in DO in a fjord and in a lake. We considered two models of R-dark to describe temporal changes in DO: constant R-dark and decreasing R-dark; increasing R-dark. In addi...
ORGANIC-CARBON DISTRIBUTION IN THE SURFACE SEDIMENTS OF THE SEA-OF-MARMARA AND ITS CONTROL BY THE INFLOWS FROM ADJACENT WATER MASSES ERGIN, M; BODUR, MN; EDIGER, D; EDIGER, V; YILMAZ, A (Elsevier BV, 1993-02-01) The organic carbon contents and textural composition of a total of 166 surficial sediment samples (from 10 to 1226 m water depths) together with data on primary productivity rates and dissolved oxygen concentrations have been studied to investigate the main controls on the distribution of organic carbon buried within the modern sediments across the Sea of Marmara.
Simulations of the Black Sea pelagic ecosystem by 1-D, vertically resolved, physical-biochemical models Oguz, T; Ducklow, HW; Malanotte-Rizzoli, P; Murray, JW (Wiley, 1998-09-01) The present paper summarizes the results of several simulations of the central Black Sea pelagic food web using three different 1-D, physical-biochemical, water column process models. The most simplified, five-compartment version is used to explore the robust biological features of the ecosystem and the role of upper-layer physics on the evolution of the euphotic zone biological processes. The other models, introducing additional biological complexities, show how these biologically structured models become ...
Weekly Variations in Phytoplankton Structure of a Harbour in Mersin Bay north eastern Mediterranean Eker Develi, Elif; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan (2000-01-01) Weekly variations in the phytoplankton composition of a harbour in Mersin Bay were studied with two methods: filtration for the assessment of >55 μm phytoplankton from July 1995 to June 1997; and sedimentation for the assessment of all phytoplankton (both>55 μm and <55 μm) between 15 February and 25 May in 1996. With both sampling methods, a total of 175 phytoplankton species were identified. In the filtered samples, the total diatom abundance was much higher than that of dinoflagellates. The highest diatom...
