Comparison of the heterotrophic bacteria and cyanobacteria (Synechococcus sp.) abundance and biomass in highly contrasting water bodies composed primarily of the Eastern Mediterranean (Cilician and Levantine basins), the Sea of Marmara including Bosphorus and Dardanelles and the Black Sea were made within the framework of SESAME (Figure 1). Changes in picoplankton abundance and biomass in contrasting environments were investigated in relation to their unique physical, chemical and biological properties. Seawater samples were collected from the SESAME cruises carried out during spring and fall 2008.

Zooplankton of the Black Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean Similarities and dissimilarities Kovalev, Av; Mazzocchı, Mg; Sıokoufrangou, I.; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan (2001-01-01) A synthesis of data on abundance and biomass of zooplankton in the Eastern Mediterranean (EMED) and the Black Sea shows major differences in the composition and structure of pelagic communities in the two basins. Few Mediterranean planktonic animals have invaded in the Black Sea. The great bulk of Black Sea species is represented by coastal inhabitants that spread throughout the whole basin. This process has been called “neritization” of the Black Sea fauna. Peculiarities in zooplankton assemblages of the B...
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...
Oxygen-18, deuterium and tritium in the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara Rank, D; Ozsoy, E; Salihoglu, I (1999-01-01) The stable isotopes O-18 and H-2, together with the transient tracer H-3 can be used to identify origins and characteristics of distinct water masses in the Black Sea, and in its smaller neighbour, the Marmara Sea, connected between them and to the Mediterranean Sea through the Straits of Bosphorus and Dardanelles, respectively. Exchange through the system and the water mass formation and evolution are characterised, based on the isotope measurements. Spatial coverage including the shelf and deep regions, w...
Wet deposition of major ions and trace elements in the eastern Mediterranean basin Al-Momani, IF; Aygun, S; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal (1998-04-20) Elemental and ionic composition of the eastern Mediterranean precipitation was determined on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey between January 1992 and January 1994. Measured concentrations were comparable with the concentrations reported from other rural stations. Concentrations of elements and ions show strong short-term and well-defined long-term variations. Short-term variations are due to transport from different source areas whereas longterm (seasonal) variations are governed by the seasonal changes i...
Phytoplankton distribution in the western and eastern Black Sea in spring and autumn 1995 Eker, E; Georgieva, L; Senichkina, L; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan (1999-12-01) Species composition, abundance, and biomass of micro- (>15 mu m) and nano(<15 mu m) phytoplankton were studied in the western and eastern Black Sea during March-April and October 1995. A total of 142 species were identified, of which >50% were dinoflagellates. Abundance and biomass values were lower during the March-April period (average 129 +/- 28 thousand cells I(-1) and 330 +/- 124 mu g I(-1)) than during the October period (average 364 +/- 161 thousand cells I(-1) and 1794 +/- 515 mu g I(-1)) and compar...
