This paper reviews the changes in the marine planktonic copepods of the Black Sea species' list from the beginning of taxonomic research to the present day. The study was based on the SESAME biological database, unpublished data, literature and data obtained during the course of the SESAME project. Comparisons were made with the Guidebook for Marine Fauna of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, which revealed changes both in the taxonomic status of some species and in the structure of the copepod community. The taxonomic status of two species (Acartia dausi small form and Centropages kroyeri pontica) and the nomenclature of two species (Oihona minuta and Calanus helgolandicus) have been changed. Three native species (Acartia margalefi, Oithona nano, and Paracartia latisetosa) have disappeared. Two non-indigenous copepods (Acartia tonsa and Oithona davisae) became established in the Black Sea ecosystem in the 1970s and 2000s, respectively. The success of their establishment was determined by biological features of the species and vulnerability of the native copepod community to invasions. It is highly probable that both species were introduced to the Black Sea by vessel ballast water. The hypothesis of "mediterranization" of the Black Sea fauna does not appear to hold true for zooplankton. Numerous claims of alien copepod species in the Black Sea remain largely unverified due to insufficient information. Data on newly discovered species of the Acartia genus are not authenticated. An updated list of marine planktonic copepods of the Black Sea is hereby presented.

Population dynamics and ecology of the invasive veined rapa whelk, Rapana venosa in the southern Black Sea MUTLU, ERHAN; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan; Şahin, Fatih; Erik, Gökhan; Aksu, Hakan; Erdem, Ercan; Karayücel, Sedat; Bat, Levent (2022-05-05) © 2022 Elsevier LtdSpatial and temporal changes in some ecological characteristics (i.e. biomass, abundance, morphometrics, sex-composition, growth parameters and population dynamics) of the invasive veined rapa whelk (Rapana venosa) were studied off Sinop Bay, in the southern Black Sea. The whelk specimens were sampled from three depths (15 m, 25 m and 35 m) at monthly intervals between November 2005 and October 2007. Custom-made pots were deployed for the capture of R. venosa individuals. Monthly distribu...
SPECIES COMPOSITION, ABUNDANCE AND BIOMASS OF COPEPODA IN PLANKTON OF THE NORTHERN LEVANTINE BASIN (EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN) Uysal, Zahit (2012-07-01) Changes in species composition, abundance and biomass of copepods were monitored weekly over the year 1998 in shelf waters of the northern Levantine Basin. A total of 192 copepod species belonging to 61 genera were identified during the course of this study. Thirty-six species are reported for the first time from the region, including three new species. Copepod abundance ranged from 215 individuals m(-3) in early March to 2220 individuals m(-3) in late March, whereas the biomass ranged from 4 mg m(-3) in mi...
Study of Copepod Species from the Western Black Seain the Cruise r/v Knorr during May June 2001 Selifonova, Janet P; Shmeleva, Alexandra A; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan (Institute of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, 2008-01-01) Results of investigation of copepod fauna in the western Black Sea are obtained in May-June 2001. 49 taxa have been found including 33 taxa that are not of the Black Sea origin. The problem of intensifi cation of process of copepod fauna Mediterranization in the Black Sea basin is discussed.
Distribution of phytoplankton in the southern Black Sea in summer 1996, spring and autumn 1998 Eker-Develi, E; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan (2003-03-01) The species composition, abundance, and biomass of micro- (>15 mum) and nano- (<15 mu m) phytoplankton were studied along the southern Black Sea during June-July 1996 and March-April and September 1998. A total of 150 species were identified, similar to 50% of them being dinoflagellates. The average total phytoplankton abundance changed from 77 x 10(3) Cells l(-1) in spring to 110 x 10(3) cells l(-1) in autumn and biomass from 250 mu g l(-1) in summer to 1370 mu g l(-1) in spring. Based on the extensive sam...
Phytoplankton distribution in the western and eastern Black Sea in spring and autumn 1995 Eker, E; Georgieva, L; Senichkina, L; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan (1999-12-01) Species composition, abundance, and biomass of micro- (>15 mu m) and nano(<15 mu m) phytoplankton were studied in the western and eastern Black Sea during March-April and October 1995. A total of 142 species were identified, of which >50% were dinoflagellates. Abundance and biomass values were lower during the March-April period (average 129 +/- 28 thousand cells I(-1) and 330 +/- 124 mu g I(-1)) than during the October period (average 364 +/- 161 thousand cells I(-1) and 1794 +/- 515 mu g I(-1)) and compar...
