“…In addition, Izmir Bay provides a major contribution to the economic development of not only Izmir, but also to the Aegean region of Turkey. On the other hand, due to the many factories producing food, dyes, chemicals, textiles and metals , as well as domestic waste water, up to 2000 the bay has been exposed to heavy pollution (KUCUKSEZGIN et al, 2006;INAR et al, 2008). In 2000 the Izmir municipality developed a project called 'The Grand Canal Project' to prevent the flow of pollution into the bay.…”

“…In 2000 the Izmir municipality developed a project called 'The Grand Canal Project' to prevent the flow of pollution into the bay. Current studies on pollution in the bay report that the primary pollution factors are now nutrients and/or organic matter rather than heavy metals (KUCUKSEZGIN et al, 2006;INAR et al, 2008).…”

“…Moreover, Ostroumoff (1896) investigated plankton and benthos during the Selanik Expedition to the Sea of Marmara after the invitation of the Ottoman Sultan Abdulhamit II and he determined 17 tunicate species belonging to class Ascidiacea and one species belonging to class Thaliacea. Afterwards, ascidians have been documented in different studies from the Turkish coasts (Demir, 1952;Demir, 1954aDemir, , 1954bNalbantoğlu, 1955;Băcescu, 1961;Kiseleva, 1961;Ergen, 1967;Kiseleva, 1969;Geldiay & Kocataş, 1972;Gökalp, 1972;Pınar, 1974;Uysal;1976, Kocataş;1978;Mavili, 1987;Ergen, Kocataş, Katağan, & Cınar, 1994; Sinem Aydin-Onen Koçak & Küçüksezgin, 2000;Tarkan, 2000;Dinçaslan & Öber, 2004;Öztürk et al, 2004;Aslan, 2006;Çinar, Bilecenoglu, Öztürk, & Can, 2006a;Çinar et al, 2006b;Lakkis & Toklu, 2007;Okuş et al, 2007;Çinar et al, 2008;Mutlu & Ergev, 2008;Çınar et al, 2011;Aslan-Cihangir, Izquierdo-Muñoz, Pancucci-Papadopoulou, & Can-Yılmaz, 2011;Gözcelioğlu, 2011;Ramos-Espla, Izquierdo, & Çınar, 2013;Artüz, Sönmez, & Kubanç, 2014).…”

The current study attempts to investigate the distribution of ascidian species collected from eight stations located along the eastern coasts of Aegean Sea, Turkey. For this purpose, field studies were conducted in July 2016. This study revealed the occurrence of ascidian species belonging to 7 families and 12 genera. The invasive species Polyclinum constellatum Savigny, 1816 is reported for the first time from Turkish waters and for the second time in the Mediterranean Sea. Furthermore, Symplegma brakenhielmi (Michaelsen, 1904) is found as a new record for the Turkish Aegean Sea fauna. Knowledge about the ascidian diversity of the Turkish Seas is still incomplete and large-scale surveys, additional taxonomic and molecular studies are needed.

“…It has been established that this mussel acts as an ecological factor determining the development of the species composition, abundance and trophic structure of the nematode assemblages. The biodiversity and ecology of mussel beds have also been studied by scientists in Turkey (Topaloglu and Kihara, 1993;Çınar and Gönlügür-Demirci, 2005;Çınar et al, 2008). However the species lists generally cover macrofauna and free-living nematode asseblages have never been examined.…”

Abstract:Spatio-temporal distribution and population structure of Enoplus quadridentatus Berlin, 1853 associated with mussel beds were investigated seasonally (October 2013, January 2014, May 2014 and July 2014 along the coasts of Sinop Peninsula, the northernmost point of Turkey located at the Black Sea. A 20x20 cm quadrat was used by scuba divers to collect samples at five stations, of which four of them were located on rocky substrata and one on a concrete pier pile. Nematode densities ranged between 0 -996 ind.m -2 and found high in October and May. A total of 1100 individuals and 9 species belonging to 8 families were recruited. E. quadridentatus Berlin, 1853 was the dominant species in most of the nematode assemblages inhabiting mussel beds and had a contribution of 74% to the total fauna. The density of the species varied among the seasons with peaks in May and October, consistent with the general nematode densities. Population composition revealed seasonal changes. In general, females were dominant in the population and ovigerous females were recorded only in January and May. Juveniles were found during all seasons, but formed dense populations in July and May. It seems that the reproduction of the species is continuous throughout the year.
