The 2020's update of marine alien species list from Turkey yielded a total 539 belonging to 18 taxonomic groups, 404 which have become established in the region and 135 are casual. A 185 new been added since previous 2011. present compilation includes reports an ascidian (Rhodosoma turcicum) fauna range extensions six species. Among species, 105 invasive characters at least one zoogeographic region, comprising 19% all Mollusca ranked first terms number (123 species), followed by Foraminifera...
Abstract Temporal and spatial variation in soft‐bottom benthic communities following recovery from a pollution episode were studied between January September 2004 around Alsancak Harbor, located the polluted part of Izmir Bay (Aegean Sea, eastern Mediterranean). Samples collected at seven stations by van Veen grab. Three additional sampled means beam trawl to take into account large mobile animals for better estimate local biodiversity. A total 231 species belonging 10 zoobenthic groups...
This recent checklist of marine arthropods found on the coasts Turkey represents a total 1531 species belonging to 7 classes: Malacostraca (766 species), Maxillopoda (437 Ostracoda (263 Pycnogonida (27 Arachnida (26 Branchiopoda (7 and Insecta (5 species). Seventy-five were classified as alien in region. paper also includes first record amphipod Melita valesi from Levantine coast (Kaş, Gulf Antalya).
This paper presents the actual status of species diversity phyla Cnidaria and Ctenophora along Turkish coasts Black Sea, Sea Marmara, Aegean Levantine Sea. A total 195 cnidarian belonging to 5 classes (Hydrozoa, Cubozoa, Scyphozoa, Staurozoa, Anthozoa) have been determined in these regions. Eight anthozoan (Arachnanthus oligopodus, Bunodactis rubripunctata, Bunodeopsis strumosa, Corynactis viridis, Halcampoides purpureus, Sagartiogeton lacerates, undatus, Pachycerianthus multiplicatus) are...
Abstract Spatio-temporal variations of soft-bottom zoobenthic communites in Mersin Bay were examined at seven stations between February and October 2009. A total 337 species encountered, which Polychaeta had the highest number (136 species), Mollusca possessed individuals (65% specimens) biomass (59% biomass). The benthos density (max. 9760 ind. m−2) 133 g found shallow-water stations, whereas diversity index values calculated deepest station. molluscs Cerithidium diplax, Corbula gibba...
The soft-bottom zoobenthic community structure of Izmir Bay was examined seasonally at eight stations (depth-range: 19–67 m) in 2009. A total 427 species were found. Polychaeta had the highest number (50% species) and individuals (75%), whereas Echinodermata possessed biomass (47%). varied from 3 to 79 (0.1 m −2 ), density 60 5360 ind.m , 1 530 g.m . most numerically dominant polychaetes Aricidea claudiae, Streblospio gynobranchiata, Levinsenia demiri Sternaspis scutata distribution...
This study focuses on the alien isopod species recorded in Turkish seas. To date, two (Paradella dianae, Sphaeroma walkeri) have been reported country, accounting for almost 2.4% of total number occurring The faunistic analysis benthic samples collected from Dardanelles (Çanakkale) Straits and Izmir Bay revealed new (Paranthura japonica Paracerceis sculpta), coasts. Additionally, this is first record P. Black Sea ecosystem. analyses discusses morphological, ecological distributional...
Abstract The coralligenous habitat was studied at the large Mediterranean scale, by applying a standardized, non‐destructive photo‐sampling protocol, developed in framework of CIGESMED project. results provided evidence to support following statements: (a) assemblage pattern is not homogeneously distributed across four ecoregions ( biotic gradients hypothesis ); and (b) does change significantly when information aggregated higher taxonomic levels sufficiency ). Surrogate categories than...
A total of 143 species belonging to Amphipoda were found at the depths between supralittoral zone and 200 m along Levantine coast Turkey. Ten (Ampelisca spinifer, Cheiriphotis mediterranea, Deutella shieckei, Ericthonius argenteus, Gammaropsis crenulata, sophiae, Isaea montagui, Ischyrocerus inexpectatus, Liropus elongatus, Melita bulla) recorded for first time in Turkey, while 69 new Platorchestia platensis was only observed out water (supralittoral). The other encountered showed...
The invasive alien mytilid species, Brachidontes pharaonis , forms a biogenic habitat in the mediolittoral and upper-infralittoral zones of Levantine Sea, hosting number native species. Examinations samples taken from dense, continuous mussel beds at seven stations along coast northern Sea yielded 187 macro-benthic invertebrate species belonging to 11 taxonomic groups. Polychaeta accounted for 46% 37% total individuals, respectively. top three dominant were Stenothoe gallensis, Spirobranchus...
Of the nearly 600 alien marine species of Metazoa that have been recorded in Mediterranean Sea, two-thirds established durable populations ever larger range (Galil, 2008a, b). The majority aliens originate from Indo Pacific region and entered through Suez Canal (Ery threan aliens). Nine penaeid prawns occur Levant Basin, eastern Mediterranean, all them known Turkish coast: Marsupenaeus japonicus (Bate, 1888), Metapenaeus monoceros (Fabricius, 1798), Penaeus semi sulcatus De Haan, 1844,...

[The known geographical distribution of the amphipod, Parhyale explorator Arresti, 1989 has been extended with a new record from Mediterranean Sea. This amphipod was found in September 2005 at coast Iskenderun Bay (Levantine Sea, Turkey). The reported here is first confirmation P. currently living La geographique connue de l'amphipode ete etendue grâce un nouveau signalement dans la mer Mediterranee. Cet amphipode trouve en septembre sur les cotes du golfe d'Iskenderun (Mer Levant, Turquie)....
The aim of this study was to acquire an impression the crustacean diversity on coralligenous beds Markiz Island. For purpose, four samplings were made with a dredge at two stations, during 2002 and 2003. Analysis material sampled yielded total 1458 individuals belonging 122 species seven groups Crustacea (Leptostraca, 1; Mysidacea, 4; Amphipoda, 51; Isopoda, 9; Tanaidacea, 2; Cumacea, 10; Decapoda, 45). Le but de cette etude est d'acquerir une idee la diversite des crustaces sur les bancs...
A total of 236 specimens the Gammaropsis togoensis (Schellenberg, 1925) were collected in Iskenderun Bay, SE Turkey during 2005-2006.Already known from Mediterranean coast Israel, this is first record alien amphipod Turkey.
A new species of amphipod, Megamphopus katagani sp. nov., is described from the sea Marmara (Turkey). key to known North-East Atlantic, Mediterranean and associated seas provided.
