A check listfor the Northeastern Levant Seafishes ispresented based on samples collected between 1980-1984. A total of 165 species were identified. The species community, whicb is vulnerable to trawl fishery, is examined. The numerical analysis of the trawl data showed that the infraliıtoral area from easıern half of the Mersin Bay to the easternmost tip of Gulf of ıskenderun, which is confined to the wider part of the continental shelf,form a specific community structure dissimifar to that of Posidonia oceanica associated with western part. This part isfavored by Lessepsian immigrants, which sametimes made up to 70% of the total demersalfish biomass.

Molecular detection of Nosema ceranae and N. apis from Turkish honey bees Whitaker, Justin; Szalanski, Allen L.; Kence, Meral (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2011-03-01) Polymerase chain reaction specific for the rDNA marker for Nosema ceranae and Nosema apis was conducted on 84 Apis mellifera samples collected from 20 provinces in Turkey. N. ceranae was detected from three samples from the provinces of Artvin, Hatay, and Mugla. N. apis was detected in samples from the provinces of Sivas, Izmir, Bitlis and Gaziantep. All of the positive samples were from honey bees belonging to the 'C' lineage of A. mellifera. DNA sequencing analysis of the N. ceranae samples revealed that ...
Trace metal solid state speciation in aerosols of the Northern Levantine basin, East Mediterranean Koçak, Mustafa; Herut, Barak; Nimmo, Malcolm (2007-04-01) An established three stage sequential leach scheme was applied to a series of selected high volume aerosol samples (n = Ce35) collected from the Turkish Eastern Mediterranean coastline (Erdemli). Samples were selected according to their air mass back trajectory history to reflect the contrasting mixtures of aerosol material present in the Eastern Mediterranean marine aerosol. Two populations were adopted, those samples which were classed as "anthropogenic" and those which were "Saharan" dominated aerosol po...
Distribution of gelatinous Macrozooplankton in the southern Black sea during 1996 1999 Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan (2001-01-01) In this study, spatial and temporal distributions of three gelatinous macrozooplankton, the scyphozoan Aurelia aurita and the ctenophores Pleurobrachia pileus and Mnemiopsis leidyi, were evaluated using the data obtained from seven southern Black Sea cruises carried out from 1996 to 1999. A comparison of nets used for the sampling of gelatinous macrozooplankton illustrated the superiority of the Hensen net with a larger mesh size (300 mum) over the Nansen net (112 mum). P. pileus was mainly concentrated bel...
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...
Pelagic tar in the Mediterranean Sea Weber, K.; Loizides, L.; Golik, AF; Salihoğlu, İlkay; Yılmaz, Ayşen (Elsevier BV, 1988-11) Floating tar samples were collected, using neuston nets, in 101 stations in the Mediterranean Sea in August–September, 1987, by research vessels of Cyprus, Germany, Israel, and Turkey. The distribution of the tar content indicates that the most tar contaminated sea is in the northeast between Cyprus and Turkey and in the Gulf of Sirte off the coast of Libya, where the mean tar content was 1847 and 6859 μg m−2, respectively. The least polluted areas were the western Mediterranean, 236 μg m−2, and the norther...
