Heavy Metal Concentrations and Health Risk Assessment in Sarda sarda (Bloch, 1793) Caught in the Turkish Black Sea Coasts

The Atlantic Bonito (Sarda sarda, Bloch 1793) Transcriptome and Detection of Differential Expression during Larvae Development

The Atlantic bonito (Sarda sarda, Bloch 1793) belongs to the important marine fish species with a wide geographical distribution covering the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean and its bordering seas. Aquaculture practices for this species are still in their infancies and scientific studies are seldom undertaken, mainly because of difficulties in sampling. Thus for small tuna species like the At...

Heavy Metal Concentrations in Marine Algae from the Turkish Coast of the Black Sea

Macroalgae samples were collected at different stations of the Turkish Black Sea coast in order to establish for concentration of Cu, Cd, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn and Cr from 2001 to 2003. The levels of the heavy metals in seawater were also measured in 2003 to estimate the degree of accumulation of the each element by algae species. The patterns of heavy metal accumulation rates in decreasing order were
