Background International fish trade reached an import value of 62.8 billion Euro in 2006, which 44.6% are covered by the European Union. Species identification is a key problem throughout life cycle fishes: from eggs and larvae to adults fisheries research control, as well processed products consumer protection. Methodology/Principal Findings This study aims evaluate applicability three mitochondrial genes 16S rRNA (16S), cytochrome b (cyt b), oxidase subunit I (COI) for 50 marine species...
Abstract Morphologic differentiation among stocks of Mediterranean horse mackerel, Trachurus mediterraneus, throughout the Black, Marmara, Aegean and Eastern Seas, was investigated using morphometric meristic characters. Discriminant function analysis both characters suggested that there is restricted migration mackerel adjacent seas. Overlapping four Black sea samples on discriminant space in one self-recruiting population area. The Marmara were most isolated from all others for characters,...
The Collective Article ‘New Mediterranean Biodiversity Records’ of the Marine Science journal offers means to publish biodiversity records in Sea. current article is divided two parts, for alien and native species respectively. new include: red alga Asparagopsis taxiformis (Crete Lakonicos Gulf) (Greece); Grateloupia turuturu (along Israeli shore); mantis shrimp Clorida albolitura (Gulf Antalya, Turkey); mud crab Dyspanopeus sayi (Mar Piccolo Taranto, Ionian Sea); blue Callinectes sapidus...
In many cases marine organisms and especially their diverse developmental stages are difficult to identify by morphological characters. DNA-based identification methods offer an analytically powerful addition or even alternative. this study, a DNA microarray has been developed be able investigate its potential as tool for the of fish species from European seas based on mitochondrial 16S rDNA sequences. Eleven commercially important were selected first prototype. Oligonucleotide probes...
First record of a Lessepsian migrant: the sea cucumber Holothuria (Theelothuria) hamata Pearson, 1913. A single specimen Indo-West Pacific 1913 has been captured in 2017 Mediterranean Sea, Turkey, Iskenderun Bay, at 30 m depth. This is here described, and taxonomy species briefly discussed. Despite lack timed biogeographic evidence, we argue that H. migrant; first its genus only second holothuroid.
Sea temperature change in the Mediterranean, Marmara and Black coasts of Turkey its biodiversity effects are investigated. The surface sea water temperatures region for last 41 years showed increased trends Mediterranean (Iskenderun, Mersin Antalya), (Istanbul) (Samsun). number Indo-Pacific species is getting rapidly decade that caused invasion significant shift Turkish Seas. This settlement process probably accelerated or facilitated by global climate overfishing native species. Nowadays,...
Based on recent biodiversity studies carried out in different parts of the Mediterranean, following 19 species are included as new records floral or faunal lists relevant ecosystems: green algae Penicillus capitatus (Maltese waters); nemertean Amphiporus allucens (Iberian Peninsula, Spain); salp Salpa maxima (Syria); opistobranchs Felimida britoi and Berghia coerulescens (Aegean Sea, Greece); dusky shark Carcharhinus obscurus (central-west Mediterranean Ionian Italy); Randall’s threadfin...
This Collective Article presents information on 22 species belonging to 5 Phyla, arranged geographically from west east. The new records were found in 8 countries as follows: Spain: first record of the two scarcely known nemerteans Baseodiscus delineatus and Notospermus geniculatus Formentera; Malta: second alien fish Lagocephalus sceleratus; Italy: polychaete Syllis pectinans isopod Paranthura japonica, well cryptogenic opisthobranch Anteaeolidiella lurana, fouling assemblages along docks...
Abstract Unraveling adaptive genetic variation represents, in addition to the estimate of population demographic parameters, a cornerstone for management aquatic natural living resources, which, turn, represent raw material breeding programs. The turbot ( Scophthalmus maximus ) is marine flatfish high commercial value on European continental shelf. While wild populations are declining, aquaculture flourishing southern Europe. We evaluated structure throughout its distribution range (672...
In this study, we aimed to clarify the taxonomic status of Belonidae species distributed in Mediterranean Sea and Black by conducting detailed genetic morphological markers. A total 550 needlefish samples were caught between January 2022 2024. The data set used study contains a 171 sequences for COI gene 120 12s rRNA from different species, including GenBank. Systematic analysis was investigated using sequencing mtDNA regions characters Turkish Marine Waters. separate two mitochondrial genes...
Abstract Background EST sequencing is one of the most efficient means for gene discovery and molecular marker development, can be additionally utilized in both comparative genome analysis evaluation duplications. While much progress has been made catfish genomics, large-scale resources have lacking. The objectives this project were to construct primary cDNA libraries, conduct initial generate resources, obtain baseline information about highly expressed genes various organs provide a guide...
Weight–length relationships were estimated for 20 Lessepsian fish species of the Iskenderun Bay, namely, Apogon nigripinnis, queketti, Callionymus flamentosus, Cynoglossus sinusarabici, Dussumieria elopsoides, Etrumeus teres, Fistularia commersonii, Lagocephalus spadiceus, suezensis, Leiognathus kluzingeri, Nemipterus japonicus, Oxyurichthys petersenii, Saurida undosquamis, Sillago sihama, Siganus luridus, rivulatus, Sphyraena chroysotaeina, Stephanolepis diaspros, Upeneus moluccensis and...
Otolith shape and chemistry of Mediterranean horse mackerel Trachurus mediterraneus were simultaneously used to assess the feasibility using these natural tags discriminate populations throughout Black, Marmara, Aegean eastern Seas. analyses showed a similar pattern differentiation between T. stocks, revealing clear discreteness middle Black Sea (Sinop) (Izmir) samples. upper side length width, Na, K, Mg Ba, morphological traits trace elements, respectively, differing most among groups....
This paper is a collection of novel distributional records 20 species belonging to 8 phyla (Chlorophyta, Rhodophyta, Cnidaria, Ctenophora, Annelida, Mollusca, Arthropoda and Chordata) from 11 Mediterranean countries, namely, Spain: an additional record the Canary dentex Dentex canariensis reported Spain (Valencia), this northernmost in Mediterranean; Algeria: first documented Caulerpa chemnitzia Algerian coast; France: Spotted sea hare Aplysia dactylomela eastern coast Corsica; Italy:...
Abstract Underwater visual census (UVC) is a commonly used approach for assessing fish density and biomass. Iskenderun Bay, comprising the Samandağ coast in Turkey, most important introduction pathway of alien species northeastern Mediterranean. In this study, density, abundance, distribution interaction invasive lionfish or devil firefish Pterois miles were assessed using UVC method on coast. The total transect area monitored was 4.500 m 2 . Species richness, Shannon’s diversity index rate...
This study examined the age distribution and growth characteristics of striped eel catfish ( Plotosus lineatus ), which is an invasive alien species in eastern Mediterranean. A total 1,011 samples were collected from Iskenderun Bay (Turkey), with lengths ranging 5.1 to 16.8 cm, predominantly comprising females (1:1.92). Age 3 represented majority population (52.03%). The value scaling exponent “b” length-weight relationship was less than “3” for both sexes (females: 2.28; males: 2.26;...
