The Dodecanese region has a high prevalence of marine alien species due to its close proximity to the Suez Canal and associated Suez shipping lanes, as well as its location at biogeographical border between sub-tropical and tropical biota. This region is therefore very important for the early detection of alien species entering the Mediterranean Se...
Soft-bottom material collected from the northern part of the Sea of Marmara (off Küçükçekmece) included a total of 67 species belonging to 24 polychaete families. Three species (Brania pusilla, Lysidice cf. margaritacea and Sabellaria spinulosa) are new records for the Sea of Marmara. Three alien species (Polydora cornuta, Prionospio pulchra and Ps...
This study was carried out to explore the effectiveness of different biotic indexes in the Marmara Sea. The assessment of ecological quality status (EQS) was performed by applying the biotic indexes BENTIX, AMBI, BOPA, BO2A and Shannon-Wiener
diversity, in combination with the estimation of total organic carbon (TOC) content of sediments. BOPA and...
In this paper, we describe the pelagic and benthic ecosystem of the Golden Horn estuary opening into the Marmara Sea. To improve the water quality of the estuary, which had long been subject to severe anthropogenic pollution (industrial, chemical, shipping), industrial facilities were moved from the estuary in the 1980s, followed by a rehabilitatio...
Siphonaria belcheri and Septifer bilocularis were reported from Iskenderun Bay in 2001. But they were considered as misidentifications of Siphonaria crenata and Septifer forskali respectively, in the CIESM Atlas of Exotic Species. The present study, carried out in 2005-2006, indicates the presence of these two alien molluscs in Iskenderun Bay, Turk...
The present study addresses the distribution of pelagic gastropods species in the Finike Seamounts region, which is a Special Environmental Protection Area. The material was sampled from different depths in 12 stations by nets and beam trawl. In total, seven species belonging to six families were identified, namely, Janthina globosa Swainson, 1822;...

This document is based on the activities of the ANEMONE project (Assessing the vulnerability of the Black Sea marine ecosystem to human pressures) with the financial support from the Joint Operational Programme Black Sea Basin 2014-2020.
The vertical distribution of mucilage aggregates is described for the Sea of Marmara in July 2021. In order to understand the vertical distribution of mucilage aggregates, CTD measurements and underwater video records were obtained from 10 stations in the Sea of Marmara. Nine different types of mucilage aggregates were observed during this study. F...
This study aimed to determine the levels of various polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds in Mytilus galloprovincialis, seasonally obtained from nine stations in the Istanbul Strait, and their effects on antioxidant enzyme activities. Samples were sorted into two groups based on length as 3–5 cm and 5–7 cm, and all analyses were carried out sep...
This study was carried out with the aim of determining the Ecological Quality Status (EQS) of coastal transitional waters of Susurluk River Basin (Marmara Sea). Macrozoobenthic invertebrate material was obtained in May of 2013 from six stations in triplicate by means of a van Veen grab. Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index and associated Pielou Evenness...

Giriş Bentik omurgasızlar, sesil veya sedanter olmaları nedeniyle doğrudan ortam baskısına maruz kaldıklarından, faunalarının bilinmesi ve kommünite yapılarının incelenmesi ister doğal ister kirletici kaynaklı, çevresel baskıların etkileri hakkında önemli bilgiler verir. Bu sebeplerle kendi denizlerimize ait fauna ve floralarımızın bilinmesi, çevre...

Presence of three bivalve species (Nucula nitidosa Winckworth, 1930; Acanthocardia eellinata (Linnaeus, 1758); Abra longicallus (Scacchi, 1835)), previously unknown from Turkish Levantine Sea, was revealed by this study carried out in Iskenderun Bay in the year 2005. Data about some ecological features of these species was provided. Ozet 2005 yilmd...

Water is crucial for all living organisims that covers almost 80% of our planet. Although productivity of water resources unproportionally distributed, all of them host vast biodiversity but only very minor part in freshwaters is available for human life. Aquatic life in these ecosystems are progressively threatened by invasive species, climate change and habitat destructions mainly through anthropogenic pollution, water abstraction, unpredictable fluctuations in water level and invasive species. All these impacts interact and enhance uncertainty about the availability of aquatic life.
Our most important goal is to ensure a sufficient supply of good-quality aquatic life and water for future generations. However, the maintenance and management of aquatic ecosystems require the close cooperation of scientists, politicians and stakeholders, and must arise from the best available knowledge and experience provided by ecologists. We hope that the first symposium on Marine and Freshwater Sciences will be an ecosystem based symposium including also studies on protected areas, tourism economy, energy, natural sources, and education and offer an opportunity to bring together experts from various disciplines and contribute substantially to increasing our knowledge of the theoretical and practical aspects of marine and freshwater sciences.
