A Biomonitoring Study: Heavy Metals in Monodonta turbinata (Mollusca: Gastropoda) From Iskenderun Bay, North-Eastern Mediterranean
Metal (Fe, Zn, Cd, Cu, Co, Ni, Al, Mn, Pb and Cr) levels were investigated in the muscle tissue of Monodonta turbinata from seven different stations in Iskenderun Bay. Accumulations of all elements were effected from seasonal changes in all stations. The highest levels of Zn (101.42 g/g), Cd (9.01 g/g), Cu (334.47 g/g) and Pb (90.8 g/g) were found in the station Çevlik. However, the highest...
متن کاملGenetic Evidence for Wide Distribution of the Alien Prawn-goby, Vanderhorstia Mertensi (actinopterygii: Perciformes: Gobiidae), along the Northeast Mediterranean
Vanderhorstia mertensi Klausewitz, 1974, is a recently acknowledged alien fish in the Mediterranean Sea, hitherto observed only from Fethiye Bay, Turkey.

متن کاملNew taxa of terrestrial molluscs from Turkey (Gastropoda, Pristilomatidae, Enidae, Hygromiidae, Helicidae)
This paper reports on results of several collecting trips of the authors in Turkey. In the course of this research, a long-lasting question was addressed. It could be proven that the nominal species Bulimus frivaldskyi L. Pfeiffer, 1847 is closely related to Meijeriella canaliculata Bank, 1985, and thus this species is shifted from the genus Ena Turton, 1831, to the genus Meijeriella Bank, 1985...

Figure 1. The ‘Kraken’ myth. Ancient tales repeatedly reported octopod-like sea-monsters attacking sea vessels. Indeed, octopuses may reach a maximum of 3 m body size, but the foundation of these ancient tales is based on giant squids (with ten rather than eight arms as depicted here) defending itself against its main predator, a sperm whale, rather than octopuses. Squids are known to leave suc...
متن کاملthe ecology of the ostracoda (crustacea) species obtained from erdek bay (the marmara sea, turkey)
abstractthe aim of this study was to determine the ecology of the ostracoda species in the sediments collected from the erdek bay and to observe the relationship between ecological parameters with the number of ostracoda species and individual numbers. sediment and water samples have been collected seasonally from 8 stations of the study area from six different depths (0.3; 1; 5; 10; 20; 30 m)....
