In the present study, seasonality and composition of phytoplankton and zooplankton were comparatively studied at two stations (one inshore and one offshore) off Sinop, in southern Black Sea during January-May 1999 and March -October 2000. A total 76 genera including 149 species and varieties were identified, of which 46% were dinoflagellates and 34% were diatoms in phytoplankton. Abundance of the genera Emiliana (in January-May 1999), Pseudosolenia and Ceratium (in March-October 2000) were higher than that of the other genera in almost every sampling period. Increased dinoflagellate to diatom ratio reflects more fertile conditions in the southern Black Sea. Abundance and biomass of the total fodder zooplankton the highest values were recorded in February 1999; March 2000. Cladocera and Appendicularia abundance and biomass values were higher in 1999 than 2000. Noctiluca scintillans was the most abundant of zooplankton group with a share of 43% (maximum: 416,925 ind.m(-2) in May) in 1999. The second abundant group was Copepoda with 42% (172,981 ind.m(-2) in February).Copepods with 78% of abundance and 73% of biomass (maximum: 372,330 ind.m(-2) and 15,253 mg.m(-2) in March) were the dominant group in 2000. They were followed by the dinoflagellate Noctiluca scintillans with 4.8% (maximum: 24,500 ind.m(-2) in June).

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...
Seasonal Changes in the Composition and Abundance ofZooplankton in the Seas of the Mediterranean Basin Kovalev, Av; Mazzocchı, Mg; Toklu Alıçlı, Benin; Skryabın, Va; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan (2003-01-01) Seasonal changes in the composition, abundance and biomass of zooplankton in the seas of the Mediterranean basin (the Mediterranean, Black and Azov seas) have been reviewed using our own data and data from the literature. In the deep-water central regions of the seas, the seasonal cycle of zooplankton abundance is characterised by one maximum occurring in spring or summer. In the coastal regions, two to three peaks (spring, summer and autumn) exist for the zooplankton abundance. The amplitude of seasonal fl...
SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION, COMPOSITION AND DNA BARCODING OF ZOOPLANKTON IN THE SOUTHERN BLACK SEA (JULY 2013) Öztürk, İlayda Destan; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan; Department of Marine Biology and Fisheries (2015-10-07) Spatial distribution and composition of zooplankton was studied in the southern Black Sea at 46 stations in July 2013. The southern Black Sea was examined as three different study areas namely; western, central and eastern regions. Each region was also examined as inshore and offshore to determine the difference in zooplankton communities. Additionally a DNA barcoding study was also performed with samples collected from seven stations in the southern Black Sea to generate a gene library of zooplankton speci...
Seasonality of zooplankton in the Southern Black Sea and genetics of Calanus Euxinus (Copepoda) Ünal, Ebru; Kıdeyş, Ahmet; Graduate School of Marine Sciences (2002) Seasonality and composition of zooplankton was comparatively studied at two stations (inshore and offshore) off Sinop, in southern Black Sea in 1999. Intra-specific genetic differentiation of the copepod Calanus euxinus dwelling in different layers along the water column was also investigated in samples obtained from different regions of the southern Black Sea in September 2000. A total of 64 zooplankton species were identified in the Sinop region in 1999, most of which being meroplankton. Out of these, 17 ...
