Seasonal changes in biochemical composition of different particle size classes (pico-, nano- and micro-particulate matter) and the zooplankton abundance and biomass were studied in NE Mediterranean between November 2004 and January 2006. Sampling was carried out at monthly intervals from two stations representing coastal and open water characteristics. Dominance of size fractions showed seasonal variations in each biochemical component but on annual average pico size fraction predominated and accounted for >= 40% of the chl-a and particulate organic matter (protein + lipid + carbohydrate) concentrations. At most of the sampling periods protein:carbohydrate ratio was <1 at the stations revealed that the studied area was under the nutrient limitation, and nutrient deficiency was severe especially for nano size fraction. On annual average, total zooplankton abundance were 4968 +/- 3538 and 603 +/- 368 ind.m(-3), and total biomass were 22 +/- 19 and 3 +/- 1 mg m(-3) at stations 1 and 2, respectively. 200-500 and 112-200 mu m size fractions were dominant in zooplankton abundance at both stations. Similarly, 200-500 pm size fraction was dominant in zooplankton biomass at the coastal, whereas >3000 mu m size fraction was at the open station. Copepods were the most abundant zooplankton group and determine the distribution of total zooplankton followed by crustacean nauplii, appendicularia, and cladocera.

Annual cycle of zooplankton abundance and species composition in Izmit Bay (the northeastern Marmara Sea)
Isinibilir, Melek; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan; TARKAN, AHMET NURİ; Yılmaz, İsmail (2008-07-30)
The monthly abundance, biomass and taxonomic composition of zooplankton of Izmit Bay (the northeastern Marmara Sea) were studied from October 2001 to September 2002. Most species within the zooplankton community displayed a clear pattern of succession throughout the year. Generally copepods and cladocerans were the most abundant groups, while the contribution of meroplankton increased at inner-most stations and dominated the zooplankton. Both species number (S) and diversity (if) were positively influenced ...
Effects of river inputs on particulate organic matter composition and distributions in surface waters and sediments of the Mersin Bay, Northeastern Mediterranean Sea
Akçay, İsmail; Tuğrul, Süleyman; Özhan, Koray (2022-05-01)
Terrestrial inputs-induced eutrophication in the P-depleted Northeastern (NE) Mediterranean shelf waters has led to changes in particulate organic matter (POM) composition and distributions in the water column and surface sediments. The present study aimed to understand the impacts of terrestrial nutrient and POM inputs on coastal eutrophication, bulk POM composition and concentrations in surface waters and sediments of the Mersin Bay, located at the Cilician Basin of NE Mediterranean Sea. The present resul...
Monthly changes in the abundance and biomass of picoplankton (heterotrophic bacteria & cyanobacteria Synechococcus) in the Cilician Basin (Eastern Mediterranean)
Bayındırlı, Cansu; Uysal, Zahit; Department of Marine Biology and Fisheries (2007)
Within the content of this thesis, it was aimed to understand the changes in the biomass and abundance of heterotrophic bacteria and marine cyanobacteria Synechococcus in time with respect to multitude of ambient physical, chemical and biological factors. For this, monthly samples from discrete depths in the offshore (0-20-40-60-80-100-125-150-175-200 m) and in the near shore (surface and 10 m) stations over a period of one year in the Cilician Basin (eastern Mediterranean) were collected via rosette sample...
Seasonality of Mesozooplankton in the Southern Black Sea off Sinop Between 2002 and 2004
Üstün, Funda; Bat, Levent; Şahin, Fatih; Birinci Özdemir, Zekiye; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan (2016-12-01)
The monthly and long-term fluctuations of mesozooplankton abundance, biomass, and taxonomic composition in the Sinop inner harbor (southern Black Sea) between 2005 and 2009 are presented in the present study. In total, 31 mesozooplankton taxa were identified during the study. The recorded average mesozooplankton abundance and biomass were 34,323 ± 7580 ind. m and 1208 ± 460 mg m in 2005, 95,063 ± 31,434 ind m and 1787 ± 604 mg m in 2006, 97,626 ± 12,141 ind m and 1034 ± 20 mg m in 2007, 91,918 ± 10,476 ind ...
Temporal variations and sources of Eastern Mediterranean aerosols based on a 9-year observation
ÖZTÜRK, FATMA; zararsız, Abdullah; Dutkiewicz, V. A.; Husain, L.; Hopke, P. K.; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal (2012-12-01)
Concentrations of 48 elements, NO3-, SO42-, CI-, NH4+ and black carbon (BC) were determined in PM10 aerosols collected daily at a rural Eastern Mediterranean (EM) site (Antalya, 30.34 degrees E, 36.47 degrees N) from 1993 to 2001. Temporal variations (daily, seasonal and long term), sources and source regions of EM aerosols were delineated. Concentrations of elements with marine and crustal origin were more episodic as compared to anthropogenic ones. Most of the variables showed well defined seasonal cycles...
