Population structure, growth, length-weight relationship and reproduction characteristics of leaping grey mullet (Liza saliens (Risso, 1810) were investigated in Beymelek Lagoon from February 2006 to January 2007.  During the study, a total of 1248 leaping grey mullet were captured by gill- and trammel nets of various mesh sizes. Male to female ratio for leaping grey mullet population in Beymel...

In the present study, age, growth, length-weight relationship and reproduction were investigated in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata L., 1758) collected from Beymelek Lagoon (Antalya, Turkey) between February 2006 and July 2007. The age, total length and weight of samples ranged from 0+ to 4 years, 10.6 to 35.5cm, and 18 to 928g, respectively. Growth was described by the standard form of the vo...

Bu çalışma, Antalya ili Demre sahilinde Doğa Koruma ve Milli Parklar Genel Müdürlüğü tarafından ‘‘Deniz Kaplumbağası Yuvalama Alanı’’ olarak tanımlanmış olan toplam 9,2 km uzunluğundaki kumsalda gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kumsal, 3 bölgeye (Beymelek-Lagün Kumsalı, Sülüklü Taşdibi Kumsalı) ayrılarak bir üreme sezonu boyunca izlenmiştir. 2020 sezonunda kumsala 368 Caretta caretta çıkışı olmuş bunların...

High photosynthetic benthic primary production (P) represents a key ecosystem service provided by tropical coral reef systems. However, benthic P budgets of specific ecosystem compartments such as macrophyte-dominated reef lagoons are still scarce. To address this, we quantified individual and lagoon-wide net (Pn) and gross (Pg) primary production by all dominant functional groups of benthic pr...

Ammonia-nitrogen #ux (NH -N"(14/17)NH ) was determined from six anaerobic swine waste storage and treatment lagoons (primary, secondary, and tertiary) using the dynamic chamber system. Measurements occurred during the fall of 1998 through the early spring of 1999, and each lagoon was examined for approximately one week. Analysis of #ux variation was made with respect to lagoon surface water tem...

in less than 150 words) Negombo Lagoon is one of the most productive and sensitive ecosystems in Sri Lanka. The main fresh water input comes to this lagoon from the rivers Dandugam Oya and Ja-ela. The Negombo Lagoon and its coastal environment have had a long association with the fishery industry. The salinity of Negombo Lagoon is strongly related to the monsoon rains and varies from almost zer...

Assessment of socio-economic issues of fishing community is an important aspect in framing a strategy for the preservation of eco-systems which leads to sustainable lagoon management. The present investigation analyses the current potential socio-economic status of the fishing community of Pulicat lagoon, the second largest lagoon in India. The socio-economic indicators considered in the study ...
