In October 2005 spatial distribution of live and dead Acartia clausi and Acartia tonsil was studied in the Black and Marmara Seas and near the Marmara Sea inlet of the Bosphorus, in order to understand their fate upon transportation between two seas. The morphometric characteristics in both species from all studied areas, and the decreased abundance of A. clausi and A. tonsa from the Black Sea towards the Marmara Sea indicate that the Marmara Sea Acartia populations are formed by recruitment from the Black Sea. We observed mass mortality of A. clausi in the Marmara Sea near the Prince Islands. The majority of carcasses (66% of total A. clausi numbers in the Marmara Sea) were found in the salinity gradient layer.

Vertical distribution of marine cyanobacteria Synechococcus spp. in the Black, Marmara, Aegean, and eastern Mediterranean seas Uysal, Zahit (2006-01-01) The vertical distributions of the unicellular cyanobacteria Synechococcus were studied in several highly contrasting seas: the Black Sea, Sea of Marmara, Aegean Sea, and Mediterranean Sea. Cell abundances varied significantly on both vertical and horizontal scales in all physically and spatially discrete water masses. Epifluorescence microscope cell counts from all seas clearly showed that majority of the population remains suspended in the surface-mixed layer and decreases gradually towards the base of the...
What is the Impact of Lessepsian Species on Eastern Mediterranean Fisheries? Lefkaditou, Evgenia; Abdelaty, Mohamed; Bariche, Michel; Corsini-Foka, Mariolina; Dimech, Mark; Economidis, Panagiotis; Gücü, Ali Cemal; Kalogirou, Stefanos; Konnaris, Kostas; Lahouf, Imad; Madi, Abdalnaser; Majdalani, Samir; Mahmoud, Hatem Hanafy; Michailidis, Nikolas; El Mokdad, Dahej; Nader, Manal; Qamheyih, Mohamed; Orsi-Relini, Lidia; Pagiatas, Giorgos; et.al. (2011-10-29) The migration of Lessepsian species, which was the result of the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 and further facilitated by human activities and environmental conditions, seems to play a key role for fisheries particularly in the Levant basin. However, there is still lack of accurate data for most of the Lessepsian species in order to evaluate their positive or negative effect to the fisheries catches and local fish stocks. The Project "Scientific and Institutional Cooperation to Support Responsible Fishe...
Salinity tolerance of Calanus euxinus in the Black and Marmara Seas Svetlichny, Leonid; Hubareva, Elena; Isinibilir, Melek; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan; Belmonte, Genuario; Giangrande, Elisa (2010-01-01) We investigated how stenohalinic Black Sea Calanus euxinus, when migrating to the north-eastern Marmara Sea, can adapt to the pronounced salinity gradient there. During field observations (2005 to 2008) females of Calanus euxinus with significantly smaller body length (compared with those inhabiting the brackish Black Sea at 17 to 18 psu) were found in the deep, high-saline (similar to 38.5 psu) layers of the Marmara Sea. Similar diameters of eggs laid by small- and large-sized females and similar respirati...
Physiological and ecological studies of Calanus euxinus (Hulsemann) from the Black Sea with comments on its life cycle Arashkevich, E; Svetlichny, L; Gubareva, E; Besiktepe, S; Gücü, Ali Cemal; Kideys, AE (1998-01-01) Ecological and physiological study of Calanus euxinus population from the Black Sea was carried out during the cruise of RN Bilim in Autumn 1996. The population was divided into two: active individuals, represented by all developmental stages, and diapausing CVs. The active CIV-CVIs underwent daily vertical migrations, while the diapausing CVs stayed at depth all day long. The population seemed to reproduce actively indicated by the large number of eggs and nauplii in the samples as well as the large propor...
Impact of a new invasive ctenophore (Mnemiopsis leidyi) on the zooplankton community of the Southern Caspian sea Roohi, Abolghasem; Yasin, Zulfigar; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan; Hwai, Aileen Tan Shau; Khanari, Ali Ganjian; Eker-Develi, Elif (2008-12-01) The invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi (Agassiz), which was transported from the Black Sea into the Caspian Sea at the end of the 1990s, has negatively affected the ecosystem of the Caspian Sea. Zooplankton abundance, biomass and species composition were evaluated on the Iranian coast of the Caspian Sea during 2001-2006. A total of 18 merozooplankton (13 species composed of larvae of benthic animals) and holozooplankton (four Copepoda and one Cladocera) species were identified. The total number of zoopla...
