The efficient removal of lead ions at low concentrations is paramount in combating the significant threat posed by water pollution resulting from industrial activities and population growth. In this study, electrospun C. barbata/PAN fibers were developed to efficiently remove lead(II) ions from water. The morphology, structure, and mechanical prope...
With the recent rapid development of cities and industries, toxic heavy metal ions release into groundwater and critically pollute the aquatic environment. Heavy metal ions are a serious threat to human health because they cannot be degraded in the aquatic environment [1] Lead (Pb(II)) ions are one of them that are difficult to remove from waters....
Technological developments offer many new and alternative products for the
benefit of humanity. These developments also create different chemical wastes

This study aimed to review of studies on sea cucumbers and its fisheries in Turkish marine waters. Sea cucumbers have commercial value as food due to their rich content. Due to ever-increasing market demand by Asian countries, the overfishing of holothurian stocks in the Indo-Pacific has resulted to increasing catches of Mediterranean species. Turk...
Aeromonas hydrophila causes symptoms of hemorrhagic septicemia in acute cases and can cause death in freshwater fish, whereas Saprolegnia parasitica is the cause of ulcers complicated by fungal mycelia located on skin that has lost its scales for various reasons. Both pathogens co-infect recirculating aquaculture systems at the İzmir Katip Çelebi U...
Water quality of the Marmara Lake
Turkish coast has a great potential for aquaculture facility, with 8,333 km in length, including the coast of the island, and 25 million hectares of available sea water. The semi-enclosed seas and their different ecological, physical and biological structure allow the cultivation of many different fish species. Awareness of environmental impact has...
