In the Black Sea, during summer stratification, Calanus euxinus (Hulsemann) undertakes diel vertical migrations with an amplitude of about 117 m from oxygenated, warm (18 degreesC) surface layers to hypoxic (similar to0.8 mg O-2 l(-1)) zones with lower temperature (7.9 degreesC). When such changes in temperature and oxygen concentration are reproduced in the laboratory, total metabolism, basal metabolism and scope of activity of copepods decrease 7.2, 7.8 and 6.7 times, respectively, while the frequency of locomotory acts and mechanical power decline 3.4- and 9.5-fold, respectively. These changes allowed the copepods to conserve a significant portion of food consumed near the surface for transformation to lipid reset-yes. Diel respiratory oxygen consumption of migrating individuals, calculated so as to include actual duration of residence in layers with different temperature and oxygen concentrations, is estimated at 17.87 mug O-2 ind(-1) The net energy cost of vertical migration made up only 11.6% of the total. Copepods expend 78.6% of diel energy losses during approximately 10 h in the surface layers, while about 5.4% is required during about 9 h at depth Hypoxia is shown to have a significant metabolic advantage during diel vertical migrations of C. euxinus in the Black Sea.

In situ grazing pressure and diet vertical migration of female Calanus euxinus in the Black Sea Besiktepe, S; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan; Unsal, M (1998-01-01) Gut pigment and abundance of the female Calanus euxinus (Hulsemann) were measured from several water layers (defined by density values), with 3-5 h intervals during 30 h and 21 h at a station in the southwestern Black Sea in April and in September 1995, respectively. The female C. euxinus was observed to begin migration to the upper phytoplankton-rich layer approximately 3 or 4 hours before the sunset. Only a fraction of the female Calanus population (0.2% in April and 3.6% in September) did not migrate but...
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...
Modeling the influence of hydrodynamic processes on anchovy distribution and connectivity in the black sea Karadeniz'deki hamsi dağılımı ve bölgeler arası bağlantısı üzerine hidrodinamik proseslerin etkisinin modellenmesi Fach Salihoğlu, Bettina Andrea (2014-01-01) Dispersal mechanisms of Black Sea anchovy larvae (Engraulis encrasicolus ponticus) across the Black Sea were studied with an individual based anchovy larvae model embedded in a Lagrangian model using surface currents calculated from daily dynamic height topography maps of altimeter data during a period of three years (2001-2003). Particles representing anchovy eggs were released at different sites during June to August and their movement was tracked over time. Drifters were advected for 36 days, representin...
Principal component and time series analysis of air-sea interactions in the "seas of the old world" Gündüz, Murat; Özsoy, Emin; Graduate School of Marine Sciences (2002) Climate data on surface atmospheric variables, sea surface temperature and computed air-sea fluxes are analysed to describe comparative surface climatolo gies of the 'Seas of the Old World' (Black, Caspian and Mediterranean Seas) and to investigate their interannual and interdecadal variability. Based on these analyses, differences and similarities between climates of these basins and their relationships to other global systems are identified. Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) Analysis is used to study sp...
The 2010 Tuz Golu Field Campaign—An Overview OZEN, Hilal; FOX, Nigel; Leloğlu, Uğur Murat; BEHNERT, Irina; DEADMAN, Andrew (2011-07-29) Tuz Golu, a salt lake situated in the central Anatolia, which dries during summer resulting in a spatially homogeneous high reflective surface is one of the LANDNET Sites [4, 6]. As a relatively new site and with support from the European Space Agency (ESA) and Space Technologies Research Institute of The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK UZAY) it was decided that this would be a good candidate to carry out an international comparison of this nature. This paper provides an ove...
