Abstract

In this study, two ctenophores (Pleurobrachia pileus, Beroe ovata) and one scyphozoa (Aurelia aurita) were collected vertically and horizontally by using plankton net from five stations (Fındıklı, Pazar, Çayeli, Rize, İyidere) between 2014 spring and 2015 winter in the South Eastern Black Sea. Length- weight relationships of P. pileus and A. aurita W=0.46*L1.27 (R2=0.98, n=193), W=0.063*L2.23 (R2=0.90, n=94) respectively.  P. pileus (Max: Rize station, spring 184.41 ind/m2) and A. aurita (Max: İyidere station, spring 184.41 ind/m2) were abundant in the water column. Beroe ovata was only found in winter (8.38-16.76 ind/m2). Jellyfishes were less abundant compared to verticals distribution. A. aurita was the most abundant species in terms of horizontal distribution.

Abstract

Proje kapsamında, Güneydoğu Karadeniz’ de seçilen beş istasyonda (Fındıklı, Pazar, Çayeli, Rize Merkez, İyidere) mevsimsel ölçekte plankton kepçesi kullanılarak vertikal ve horizontal çekimler yapılmıştır. Araştırma 2014 ilkbaharı ile 2015 kış mevsimi arasında yürütülmüştür. Yapılan örneklemeler sonucunda iki tür ctenophora (Pleurobrachia pileus, Beroe ovata) ve bir tür Scyphozoa (Aurelia aurita) örneklenilmiştir. P. pileus ve A. aurita türlerinin vücut uzunlukları (cm) ile yaş ağırlıkları (g) arasındaki ilişkiler sırasıyla W=0.46*L1.27(R2=0.98, n=193), W=0.063*L2.23 (R2=0.90, n=94) olarak belirlenmiştir. Örneklenen türler ve m2’ deki organizma sayılarına bakıldığında, vertikal örneklemeler için sırasıyla P. pileus (Maksimum: Rize istasyonu, ilkbahar 184.41 birey/m2 ) ve A. aurita (Maksimum: İyidere istasyonu, ilkbahar 184.41 birey/ m2) bireylerinin yoğunlukta olduğu belirlenmiştir. B. ovata ise yalnızca kış mevsiminde (8.38-16.76 birey/m2) örneklenmiştir. Jelimsi organizmaların horizontal dağılımlarına bakıldığında vertikal örneklemelere göre yoğunluklarının daha düşük olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Türlerin horizontal dağılım ve yoğunluklarına bakıldığında m2 deki birey sayıları göz önüne alındığında A. aurita türlerinin yoğunlukta olduğu belirlenmiştir.
