The Black Sea being one of the largest enclosed seas, has been subjected to severe ecological changes within the last few decades. The river induced nutrient enrichment and eutrophication caused significant changes in the species composition. Some of species have disappeared while some others were newly introduced and became dominant in the Black Sea ecosystem. Among those which dominated the pelagic ecosystem, gelatinous organisms suddenly attained a high level of biomass in 1989, which can hardly be supported by the existing trophodynamic structure.

Modeling the effects of climatic and land use changes on phytoplankton and water quality of the largest Turkish freshwater lake: Lake Beysehir Bucak, Tuba; Trolle, Dennis; Tavsanoglu, U. Nihan; Cakiroglu, A. Idil; Ozen, Arda; Jeppesen, Erik; Beklioğlu, Meryem (Elsevier BV, 2018-04-15) Climate change and intense land use practices are the main threats to ecosystem structure and services of Mediterranean lakes. Therefore, it is essential to predict the future changes and develop mitigation measures to combat such pressures. In this study, Lake Beysehir, the largest freshwater lake in the Mediterranean basin, was selected to study the impacts of climate change and various land use scenarios on the ecosystem dynamics of Mediterranean freshwater ecosystems and the services that they provide. ...
Modeling the impact of tidal flows on the biological productivity of the Alboran Sea Sanchez-Garrido, Jose C.; Naranjo, C.; Macias, D.; Garcia-Lafuente, J.; Oguz, T. (2015-11-01) The control of phytoplankton production by tidal forcing in the Alboran Sea is investigated with a high-resolution ocean circulation model coupled to an ecosystem model. The aim of the modeling efforts was to elucidate the role of tides in sustaining the high biological productivity of the Alboran Sea, as compared with the rest of the Mediterranean subbasins. It is shown that tidal forcing accounts for an increase of phytoplankton biomass and primary productivity in the basin of about 40% with respect to a ...
Modelling phytoplankton succession on the Bering Sea shelf: role of climate influences and trophic interactions in generating Emiliania huxleyi blooms 1997-2000 Merico, A; Tyrrell, T; Lessard, EJ; Oguz, T; Stabeno, PJ; Zeeman, SI; Whitledge, TE (Elsevier BV, 2004-12-01) Several years of continuous physical and biological anomalies have been affecting the Bering Sea shelf ecosystem starting from 1997. Such anomalies reached their peak in a striking visual phenomenon: the first appearance in the area of bright waters caused by massive blooms of the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi (E huxleyi). This study is intended to provide an insight into the mechanisms of phytoplankton succession in the south-eastern part of the shelf during such years and addresses the causes of E. hu...
Comparative Study on Lipid Qaulity of Distribution and Abundance of Mnemiopsis in the Eastern Iranian Coasts of the Caspian Sea Roohi, A.; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan; Fazlı, H. (2003-01-01) The alien ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi which was transported from the Black Sea into the Caspian Sea at the end of 1990s has been negatively affecting ecosystem in this new environment. In this study, spatial and temporal distribution of M.leidyi were studied from a total of stations located along three transects (Amirabad, Babolsar and Nowshar) in the Eeastern Iranian coasts of the Caspian Sea (Mazandaran province) during July 2001 to November 2002. M. leidyi acheived maximum biomass 1024.5 g/m2 in August-...
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...
