The ctenophore Beroe cf ovata, which spontaneously entered the Black Sea in the 1990s and suppressed the previous ctenophoran invader Mnemiopsis leidyi by its predatory impact, is currently considered for intentional introduction to the Caspian Sea as well. In order to assess its impact on Mnemiopsis in the Caspian, Beroe was transported during 2002 from the Black Sea and the Bosporus to the Khazerabad laboratory (Mazandaran), on the Caspian coast of Iran, where experiments on its survival in Caspian water, and on various physiological characteristics (feeding, respiration, reproduction and growth) of both ctenophore species were performed. Beroe cf ovata was found to adjust to Caspian salinity conditions without problems.

Impact of a new invasive ctenophore (Mnemiopsis leidyi) on the zooplankton community of the Southern Caspian sea Roohi, Abolghasem; Yasin, Zulfigar; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan; Hwai, Aileen Tan Shau; Khanari, Ali Ganjian; Eker-Develi, Elif (2008-12-01) The invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi (Agassiz), which was transported from the Black Sea into the Caspian Sea at the end of the 1990s, has negatively affected the ecosystem of the Caspian Sea. Zooplankton abundance, biomass and species composition were evaluated on the Iranian coast of the Caspian Sea during 2001-2006. A total of 18 merozooplankton (13 species composed of larvae of benthic animals) and holozooplankton (four Copepoda and one Cladocera) species were identified. The total number of zoopla...
Physiological characteristics of the ctenophore Beroe ovata in Caspian Sea water Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan; Anninsky, BE; Shiganova, TA; Roohi, A; Tabari, MR; Youseffyan, M; Rostamian, MT; Rostami, H; Negarestan, H (2004-01-01) Riparian countries of the Caspian Sea have been evaluating the pros and cons of the predatory ctenophore Beroe ovata as a control agent against the invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi, which has enormous adverse impacts on the fishery resources as well as on the biodiversity in this once fertile sea. To assess the viability of B. ovata establishment in the Caspian Sea, the survival and some physiological characteristics (feeding, respiration, reproduction and growth) of the predatory ctenophore were studi...
Reproduction of the ctenophore Beroe ovata in the Caspian sea Water Mirzajani, Ar; Shiganova, T.; Finenko, G.; Bagheri, S.; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan; Roohi, A. (2007-01-01) The experiments with Beroe ovata showed that this ctenophore can survive and reproduce in the Caspian Sea water, though at far lower rate than in the Black Sea; larval growth in the Caspian Sea water was also slower and mortality higher. Maximum fecundity of 2210 and 240 eggs recorded in laboratories of Turkey and Iran, respectively. About 34 to 100% of eggs in the Caspian Sea water could not develop and hatch. Larvae were at different stages of development, usually with size between 1.2 to 2mm. The highest...
Decreased levels of the invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis in the Marmara Sea in 2001 İşinibilir Okyar, Melek; Tarkan, Ahmet N; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan (null, 2004-01-01) Mnemiopsis leidyi, an endemic ctenophore of the western Atlantic, was first reported in the Marmara Sea in summer 1992, at an average abundance of 27 ind. m−3. We investigated its abundance and distribution together with that of the mesozooplankton (most species are prey organisms of M. leidyi) at eight stations during August 2001, in order to evaluate recent population developments with regard to the impact of its predator, Beroe cf ovata. The abundance of M. leidyi was found to be quite low (range 0.5–8.8...
