Variations in the relative condition (Kn) of the Black Sea anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus ponticus) have been evaluated over eleven overwintering seasons (2005-2016). During the study period, a linear decrease was observed in the condition each year. Difference in condition from the onset to end of winter varied between 10% and 20%. Overall however, condition displayed an increasing trend within the time frame studied. Considering the worsening state of the stock during the same period, this increasing trend indicates that condition may be dependent on the fish density. The negative relationship observed between body condition of anchovies and the spawning stock biomass supports the same view and points out that particularly in winter when food supply is limited, interspecies competition could be a considerable factor determining condition. The strong correlation between condition and eddy kinetic energy underlines that velocity of water movement might be an effective factor conserving energy use and consequently supporting maintenance of body condition. Finally, the positive correlation observed between condition loss during winter and number of recruits the following year indicates that how fish overwinter plays an important role in recruitment success rates.

Relative body condition of red mullet (Mullus barbatus) and its applicability as an indicator of environmental status
Gücü, Ali Cemal; Ünlüoğlu, Aydın; Ok, Meltem; Karakulak, Firdes Saadet; Aydin, Coskun Menderes; Sarigoz, Suleyman; Beken, Sevcan Colpan Polat (2021-06-01)
This study examines the ratio between length and body weight of 4191 specimens of a prevalent, tertiary tropic level Teleost fish, red mullet (Mullus barbatus) sampled using a standard survey protocol from more than 2500 km by the coasts of Turkey extending along the Mediterranean, Aegean, and the Black Sea. The study's primary aim was to investigate whether there is a correspondence between the body condition of the red mullet and the environmental status independently determined based on lower trophic lev...
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...
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 ...
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...
Organic nitrogen in rain and aerosol in the eastern Mediterranean atmosphere: An association with atmospheric dust
Mace, KA; Kubilay, N; Duce, RA (2003-05-31)
From March through early May of 2000, rain and bulk aerosol samples were collected at a coastal site on the eastern Mediterranean Sea at Erdemli, Turkey, and analyzed for nitrogen (N) species, including nitrate (NO3-), nitrite (NO2-), ammonium (NH4+), water-soluble organic N, urea, and dissolved free amino acids. Other ions were also analyzed, including Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, Na+, Cl-, and SO42-. Water-soluble organic N was found to contribute similar to17% and similar to26% of the total water-soluble N in rain an...
