The impact of the introduced ctenophore Beroe ovata on its prey Mnemiopsis leidyi, another invader ctenophore voraciously feeding on mesozooplankton, and consequently on the mesozooplankton community, was evaluated by undertaking both laboratory and field studies in the northern Black Sea. Ingestion and growth rates as well as the gross growth efficiency of B. ovata were estimated from laboratory experiments. The daily ration of ctenophores was related to food abundance within a wide range of prey concentration and never reached saturation. Beroe ovata required high food rations (not less than 20% of body weight per day) for growth. The abundances, biomasses and population structures of these two introduced ctenophore species were also monitored, along with mesozooplankton, in inshore waters of the northern Black Sea (i.e. Sevastopol Bay and adjacent regions) over a period of 3 years (1999-2001) which is after B. ovata's arrival. The annual dynamics of the M. leidyi population were similar for the last 3 years: very low abundances and biomass values were observed during most of the year (unlike the previous years), with a sudden increase in summer-early autumn, but only for about a 2 month period. The B. ovata bloom during the peak M. leidyi biomass resulted in the M. leidyi biomass falling sharply to extremely low values. The predatory impact of M. leidyi on prey zooplanton was found to be reduced during the period of study compared with before.

Chemical composition, respiration and feeding rates of the new alien ctenophore, Beroe ovata, in the Black Sea Finenko, GA; Anninsky, BE; Romanova, ZA; Abolmasova, GI; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan (2001-05-01) Maximum daily rations of the ctenophore Beroe ovata Brugiere and predatory impacts on the Mnemiopsis leidyi A. Agassiz population were estimated via digestion time, prey biomass and predator and prey density in Sevastopol Bay and adjacent water regions. Digestion times ranged from 0.5 to 5.2 h and depended on the prey/predator weight ratio. Overall, the mean daily ration was 45% of B. ovata wet weight. Preliminary conclusions are given on the B. ovata population as an effective control of the M. leidyi popu...
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...
Effect of temperature on clearance rate daily ration and digestiontime of Mnemiopsis leidyi from the southern Caspian Sea M,, Rowshantabari; Finenko, Ga; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan; Kiabi, B. (University of Guilan, 2012-06-01) The effect of temperature on the main feeding parameters of Mnemiopsis leidyi from the southern Caspian Sea was studied in 2002. The clearance rates and daily rations were estimated from laboratory experiments in a wide range of temperatures from 12 to 27 ?C for M. leidyi of 12?17 mm in length. Clearance rate values changed from 52.5 to 107.3 ml ind-1 h-1. The coefficient Q10 in temperature 12 - 20 ?C was higher than that in 20 - 27 ?C (3.81 and 1.91, respectively). The specific daily ration changed from 1....
Invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in the Caspian Sea: feeding, respiration, reproduction and predatory impact on the zooplankton community Finenko, Galina A.; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan; Anninsky, Boris E.; Shiganova, Tamara A.; Roohi, Abolghaseem; Tabari, Mojgan R.; Rostami, Hosseinali; Bagheri, Siamak (2006-01-01) The impact of the invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi on the zooplankton community of the Caspian Sea was quantified according to food consumption and other major physiological activities (i.e. respiration and reproduction), coupled with field data on population structure. The adverse effects of M. leidyi on the zooplankton community during the first years of the invasion were tremendous for the Caspian Sea compared to other regions affected by this ctenophore. The impact was highest in summer, due to hig...
Control mechanisms on the ctenophore Mnemiopsis population dynamics: A modeling study Salihoğlu, Barış; Fach Salihoğlu, Bettina Andrea (2011-07-01) A comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms that control the ctenophore Mnemiopsis blooms in the Black Sea is gained with a zero-dimensional population based model. The stage resolving model considers detailed mass and population growth dynamics of four stages of model-ctenophore. These stages include the different growth characteristics of egg, juvenile, transitional and adult stages. The dietary patterns of the different stages follow the observations given in the literature. The model is able to repr...
