Benthic Faunal Assemblages Of The Holocene Sediments From The Southwest Black Sea Shelf, Demet Ongan, Oya Algan, Sevi̇nç Kapan Yeşi̇lyurt, Ati̇ke Nazi̇k, Mustafa Ergi̇n, Christ Eastoe
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Benthic faunal content (benthic foraminifera, mollusca and ostracoda) of sediment cores from the SW Black Sea shelf were examined. Based on the vertical distribution of abundance and diversity of the benthic fauna, three benthic assemblages were distinguished. These assemblages are BF1, BF2 and BF3, and reflect the changes in bottom water from the termination of the Neoeuxinian period to present. BF1 displays high abundance and diversity in the surroundings of the Bosporus channel, diminishing in the shelf sediments further away from the channel. In the Mid-Shelf and Outer Shelf, it displays low abundance and low diversity. BF1 which started to …

Temporal And Spatial Changes Of Crustaceans In Mixed Eelgrass Beds, Zostera Marina L. And Z. Noltii Hornem., At The Sinop Peninsula Coast (The Southern Black Sea, Turkey), Melek Ersoy Karaçuha, Murat Sezgi̇n, Ertan Dağli
Turkish Journal of Zoology
This research was carried out to determine the macrobenthic crustacean species associated with mixed eelgrass beds (Zostera marina and Z. noltii) occurring in the upper-infralittoral zone of the Sinop peninsula coast (the southern Black Sea, Turkey) and their bioecolological features. From June 2004 to April 2005, investigations were seasonally performed at the depths of 2-4 m at 6 different stations chosen on the Sinop peninsula coast. As a result of the study, a total of 7057 individuals belonging to 55 species and 6 orders were identified. Amphipoda was the dominant group in terms of number of species (63% of the …
Anomalous Strong Reflections On High Resolution Seismic Data From The Turkish Shelf Of The Eastern Black Sea: Possible Indicators Of Shallow Hydrogen Sulphide-Rich Gas Hydrate Layers, Derman Dondurur, Günay Çi̇fçi̇
Anomalous Strong Reflections On High Resolution Seismic Data From The Turkish Shelf Of The Eastern Black Sea: Possible Indicators Of Shallow Hydrogen Sulphide-Rich Gas Hydrate Layers, Derman Dondurur, Günay Çi̇fçi̇
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Some strong reflections about 3 to 5 m thick were observed at depths of 25-60 metres below the sea floor using deep-towed, 5 kHz subbottom profiler data in the Turkish shelf and upper slope of the Eastern Black Sea at water depths of 250 to 700 m. Strong reflections of this kind are generally attributed to shallow and localized gas accumulations. We, however, observed that the reflection polarity of these strong reflections was positive, suggesting that they do not correspond to reflections from the upper boundary of a possible gas front. In this study, we evaluate these reflections to determine …

A Survey On Helminth Infections Of Equines In The Central Black Sea Region, Turkey, Şi̇nasi̇ Umur, Mustafa Açici
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of helminth species in horses, donkeys, and mules in the Central Black Sea region, between March 2004 and July 2005. For this purpose, 140 faecal samples were taken from horses (n = 83), donkeys (n = 31), and mules (n = 26) in Samsun, Sinop, Ordu, Amasya, and Tokat provinces. Infection rates were 91.57% (76 of 83) in horses, 96.77% (30 of 31) in donkeys, and 96.15% (25 of 26) in mules. The parasite species and their prevalence in examined animals were as follows: in horses Strongylidae spp. 77.10%, Parascaris equorum …
