Egg production rates (EPRs) of Calanus euxinus were measured in the Black Sea during October 2000 and May 2001. EPRs were generally low, on average 1.7 eggs female(-1) day(-1) in October 2000 and 3.9 eggs female(-1) day(-1) in May 2001. The relationships between EPRs and gonad maturity, depth-integrated chlorophyll a (Chl a) and mean surface layer temperature were examined. The EPRs were not related to depth-integrated Chl a, but were negatively correlated with temperature. EPRs were strongly related to the proportion of mature females. Growth rates of C. euxinus were derived from the EPRs. The mean growth rate was 0.011 day(-1) in October 2000 and 0.03 day(-1) in May 2001. Growth rates were not significantly correlated with Chl a concentrations, but were negatively related to female weight and temperature.

Diurnal gut pigment rhythm and metabolic rate of Calanus euxinus in the Black Sea Besiktepe, S; Svetlichny, L; Yuneva, T; Romanova, Z; Shulman, G (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-04-01) The vertical distribution, diel gut pigment content and oxygen consumption of Calanus euxinus were studied in April and September 1995 in the Black Sea. Gut pigment content of C. euxinus females was associated with diel vertical migration of the individuals, and it varied with depth and time. Highest gut pigment content was observed during the nighttime, when females were in the chlorophyll a (chl a) rich surface waters, but significant feeding also occurred in the deep layer. Gut pigment content throughout...
Distribution and abundance of ctenophores, and their zooplankton food in the Black Sea. I. Pleurobrachia pileus Mutlu, E; Bingel, F (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1999-12-01) The distribution of Pleurobrachia pileus Muller, 1776 in the Black Sea was determined using plankton samples collected above the anoxic zone (maximum of 200 m) in the winter, spring, and summer of 1991 to 1995; The summer samples were collected in 1991 to 1993 (for a previous) and are included in this paper for comparative purposes. High concentrations of P. pileus were found at the northern edges of anticyclonic eddies along the southern coastal regions. The biomass and abundance of P. pileus increased fro...
Particulate and dissolved primary production along a pronounced hydrographic and trophic gradient (Turkish Straits System-NE Aegean Sea) Lagaria, A.; Psarra, S.; Gogou, A.; Tuğrul, Selen; Christaki, U. (Elsevier BV, 2013-06-01) The rates of particulate (PPp) and dissolved primary production (PPd) were estimated along a trajectory of variable environmental regimes formed in a narrow shelf area, following the course of Black Sea water masses (BSW) passing through the Turkish Straits System (TSS) into the NE Aegean Sea (BS-AS outflow). Seven stations in total were sampled, covering a transect from the eastern edge of the Marmara Sea basin to the NE Aegean Sea, during two consecutive cruises performed in October 2008 within the framew...
Patterns of dark respiration in aquatic systems Mantikci, Mustafa; Staehr, Peter A.; Hansen, Jorgen L. S.; Markager, Stiig (CSIRO Publishing, 2020-01-01) We used continuous measurements of dissolved oxygen (DO) in dark bottles to characterise patterns of the dark respiration rate (R-dark) for three marine phytoplankton monocultures and in natural-water samples from two marine coastal systems. Furthermore, patterns of ecosystem community respiration rate were determined from open-water changes in DO in a fjord and in a lake. We considered two models of R-dark to describe temporal changes in DO: constant R-dark and decreasing R-dark; increasing R-dark. In addi...
Diel vertical migration of Sagitta setosa as inferred acoustically in the Black Sea Mutlu, E (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2006-06-01) Swimming trajectories of chaetognaths Sagitta setosa Muller in the Black Sea were studied using an echosounder operating at 120 and 200 kHz and an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) operating at 150 kHz. S. setosa were acoustically discriminated with respect to vertical migration and swimming speed, according to dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration and the timing of migrations. S. setosa formed a concentration layer thicker than Calanus euxinus did (1-3 m). The migration was completed in about 2.5-4 h,...
