Four species of copepod, Caligus bonito Wilson, 1905 (Caligidae), Clavellisa scombri Kurz, 1877 (Lernaeopodidae), Pandarus bicolor Leach, 1816 (Pandaridae) and Anchistrotos laqueus Leigh-Sharpe, 1935 (Bomolochidae) were reported from Coryphaena hippurus Linnaeus, 1758, Scomber scombrus Linnaeus, 1758, Mustelus mustelus Linnaeus, 1758 and Serranus hepatus Linnaeus, 1758. These parasites were rec...

Cherry laurel (Laurocerasus officinalis Roemer Syn: Prunus laurocerasus L.) is a perennial wild fruit plant that is widely distributed in and around South-Eastern Black Sea, Marmara Sea, the Caspian Sea in the North and the East. However, breeding success of cherry laurel depends on early harvest, transient differences in taste, fruit color and flavor due to large number of biotic and abiotic s...

The ctenophore Bolinopsis vitrea is first reported from the Turkish and Bulgarian regions of the Black Sea. In Turkish waters, a considerable aggregation was found in Sile on the Asian side and at Kilyos on the European side in 2007. This appears to be the first record of this species in the Black Sea, which is known in the Mediterranean Sea including the Aegean Sea. Bolinopsis vitrea most like...

The ecological and conservation status of the geographically isolated Black Sea harbour porpoise is currently unknown. Although it has been suggested that Black Sea harbour porpoises are distinct from other populations, the implementation of specific conservation plans has been hindered by the absence of a genetic and morphological study with large sample sizes. We sought to test the hypothesis...

Historical tsunami events have impacted the Istanbul coasts along the Sea of Marmara. Offshore seismic sources may trigger these tsunamis directly or through coseismic underwater failure. The 1999 zmit Bay tsunami led to more comprehensive analyses of these events which are generally caused by underwater failures close to the target coastline. Waves so generated can arrive at nearby coastlines ...

[1] New earthquake probability calculations are made for the Sea of Marmara region and the city of Istanbul, providing a revised forecast and an evaluation of time-dependent interaction techniques. Calculations incorporate newly obtained bathymetric images of the North Anatolian fault beneath the Sea of Marmara [Le Pichon et al., 2001; Armijo et al., 2002]. Newly interpreted fault segmentation ...

Since 1900, around 90,000 people have lost their lives in 76 earthquakes in Turkey, with a total affected population of around 7 million and direct losses of around 25 billion USD. Based on a time-dependent model that includes coseismic and post-seismic effects of the 1999 Kocaeli earthquake with moment magnitude Mw = 7.4, Parsons (J Geophys Res. 109, 2004) concluded that the probability of an ...

This investigation was carried out for the determination of fish species living in Bandırma Bay (Sea of Marmara). Morphometric and meristic characters of of fishes caught by trawl and various nets in Bandırma Bay in the years of 1998-1999 were examined and some morphological, ecological properties, and local names of 34 determined species are given.
