Some aspects of the biology, digestive enzymes and organosomatic indices of Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus purchased from fishermen in Oyan dam was investigated. This study was aimed at providing information on the composition of food materials found in the gut and specific activities of selected enzymes as it affects the domestication of the species. 100 specimens of the species were examined for stomach contents, length-weight relationship, digestive enzyme assay and organosomatic indices, using standard methods. Food items observed were detritus (4%), fish part (12%), Insecta (13%). Sand was observed to be 11% of total stomach volume. The logarithmic equation for length-weight relationship lnW=2.68lnl-3.79 indicated that an increase in length led to a corresponding increase in weight with ‘R’ = 0.611, calculated ‘r’=0.78, ‘a’=2.68 and ‘b’=3.79 indicating positive allometric growth pattern. Amylase exhibited high activity in the stomach, while lipase and proteinase in the stomach and posterior intestine. Specific activities of digestive enzymes showed significant differences (p<0.05). Viscerosomatic (2.92± 0.25), hepatosomatic (2.27± 0.22) indices and Fulton condition factor (1.93± 0.06) were recorded. Feed items present in the species confirm its overlapping feeding habit, indicating that the species is an omnivorous detritivore. This was also depicted in the activities of the different digestive enzymes.
本文对敖堰坝渔民采得的黑底小黄鱼(Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus)的生物学、消化酶和器体指标等方面进行了调查。这项研究的目的是提供肠道中发现的食物物质的组成和选定酶的特定活性的信息，因为它影响了物种的驯化。采用标准方法对100只标本进行胃内容物、长重关系、消化酶测定和器体指标检测。观察到的食物为碎屑(4%)、鱼体(12%)和昆虫(13%)。沙子占胃总容积的11%。长度-体重关系的对数方程lnW=2.68lnl-3.79表明，长度增加导致体重相应增加，R = 0.611，计算出R =0.78, a =2.68, b =3.79，为正异速生长模式。淀粉酶在胃中表现出较高的活性，脂肪酶和蛋白酶在胃和后肠中表现出较高的活性。消化酶比活性差异有统计学意义(p<0.05)。记录脏器体指数(2.92±0.25)、肝体指数(2.27±0.22)和富尔顿状况因子(1.93±0.06)。该物种存在的饲料项目证实了其重叠的摄食习惯，表明该物种是杂食性食腐动物。这也反映在不同消化酶的活性上。

This study aimed to disclose the spatial variability in the lagenar otolith (asteriscus) dimensions-total length relationships generated for four Prussian carp, Carassius gibelio (Bloch, 1782) populations (Altınkaya Dam Lake, Bafra Fish Lakes, Lake Ladik and Lake Simenit) in Samsun Province, Türkiye. Relationship between length and weight of the fish was also described for each population. Samples were obtained from commercial fishermen in different periods between February 2017 and March 2018. The length, height, and weight of each otolith were determined. A non-linear function was used to define allometric relationships between asteriscus measurements and body size. The slopes of the regressions acquired for the right and left otoliths at each sampling site did not show any significant difference. All of the relationships were found to be statistically significant (P<0.001). The r2 values ranged from 0.61 to 0.95, and the mean values of the percent prediction error varied from 3.10 to 7.45. The ANCOVA test determined significant spatial differences in regression slopes for the three otolith variables. Our findings revealed that otolith development reflected somatic growth, but this varied by sampling area.
本研究旨在揭示基耶省三孙省(Altınkaya Dam Lake, Bafra Fish Lakes, Ladik Lake和Simenit Lake) 4个鲤鱼种群(Carassius gibelio, Bloch, 1782) lagenar耳石(asteriscus)尺寸-总长度关系的空间变异。还描述了每个种群的长度和重量之间的关系。样本是在2017年2月至2018年3月的不同时期从商业渔民那里获得的。测定每个耳石的长度、高度和重量。一个非线性函数被用来定义星形测量和体型之间的异速生长关系。每个采样点左右耳石的回归斜率没有显示出任何显著差异。所有关系均有统计学意义(P<0.001)。r2值为0.61 ~ 0.95，预测误差百分比平均值为3.10 ~ 7.45。ANCOVA检验表明，三个耳石变量的回归斜率存在显著的空间差异。我们的研究结果表明，耳石发育反映了体细胞生长，但这因采样区域而异。

Intensive use of plastic has led to the accumulation of plastics in all ecosystems and inevitable environmental pollution. Plastic wastes have undergone structural degradation with the effect of environmental factors and have been disintegrated into nano and microparticles; thus, might accumulate in living organisms and reach unpredictable levels in the food chain. In recent years, the impacts of these particles called "microplastics" (MP’s) have become one of the most important issues in the scientific world. The aim of this study is to evaluate the possible presence of MP’s in drinking water, that represents the most important nutrition element for human beings. For this purpose, samples of 6 different brands of disposable (PET) bottles produced and sold locally were examined. A total of 36 samples in bottles with 2 different volumes were analyzed in accordance with international standards and the results were evaluated. As a result of the study, the presence of MP’s was detected in all samples analyzed. A total of 207 MP’s were found in 36 samples. As a result of the analysis, a mean of 7.35 ± 9.66 MP L-1 particles was detected. It was determined that the most dominant type in terms of shape was fiber (91%), the most dominant type in terms of color was blue (57%) and the most dominant type in terms of size was 0.1-1 mm (71%). When Estimated Daily Intake (EDI) rates were calculated for public health risk assessment, it was determined that the most affected group is the 3-6 age group (EDI (avg) = 0.42). The importance of making recycling more widespread, raising awareness of consumers and making the necessary legal regulations on the issue was emphasized in order to reduce the problem at its source.

Antioxidant related biomarkers (superoxide dismutase, catalase, malondialdehyde) were investigated to evaluate metal (Hg, Cd, Pb, Cr, Cu, Zn, and Mn) bioaccumulation in some organs of fish species (Sparus aurata, Chelon labrosus, Diplodus vulgaris) from the İzmir Bay. Samples were collected at November 2019 from Inner and Outer Bays. Metal and biomarker analyses were carried out by Atomic Absorption Spectrometer and microplate reader, respectively. For metal analyses in organs, higher metal bioaccumulations were found at liver tissues. Higher Hg and Zn concentrations were found in S. aurata, higher Cd, Cr, Cu and, Mn concentrations were detected in C. labrosus and higher Pb concentrations were determined in D. vulgaris. In biomarker results, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities were generally higher in gills, however, MDA contents were higher at liver. The highest biomarker results were detected at C. labrosus. Statistical analyses were demonstrated that especially MDA content were expressed strong responses for the metal bioaccumulations. Also, Mn levels were considerably correlated with all biomarkers as expected. This study revealed that combined utilization of biomarkers and metal concentrations could be a vital indicator to investigate health status of the marine ecosystems.

The purpose of this study is to create awareness about the species of mosquito fishes (Gambusia holbrooki Girard, 1859) both vectors and ways of introduction to new aquatic habitats. Because the species creates risks, especially for the circumstance of the native and endemic fish fauna, studies about introduction stories of the species are quite important to prevent the risk. In the current report, mosquitofishes which are known as a highly invasive species were found in the crop content of a hen mallard duck (Anas platyrhynchos L., 1758) in an estuarine area, the Gediz River Basin (İzmir, Turkey). This report is the first record of a duck consuming mosquitofish. Although nevertheless, it is known that mallard duck feeding behaviour does not predominantly contain fish (they mainly feed on plant seeds), according to this observation, mosquitofish might be added to the prey list of mallards as a new type of food. Therewith, this feeding behavior also indicates that ducks might be a potential vector for the transport of invasive mosquitofishes.

The evaluation of seafood processing wastes is an important issue in terms of both preventing environmental pollution and adding value to these wastes economically. The most practical method that can convert seafood processing waste into a valuable feed source and plant fertilizer is to make silage. In this study, the ripening times and nutritional components of fish silages prepared with direct addition of lactic acid bacteria culture (Streptococcus thermophilus), acidifying chemicals (formic acid) and yogurt, which is a fermented food, were compared. In the research, sardine fish (Sardina pilchardus) wastes (head, skin, bones, internal organs, etc.) were used in fish silage production. It was observed that all fish silages completed the ripening phase within a maximum of 10 days. It was determined that the moisture, ash, protein and lipid contents of the groups prepared with acid, bacteria and yoghurt ranged between 63-66%, 5.6-5.7%, 11.3-11.8% and 12.18-13.65%, respectively. As a result of the research, it was observed that fish silages made with the addition of yoghurt as an alternative to silages made with direct addition of pure bacterial culture or acid addition met the expectations in terms of both ripening time and nutrient components.

Sea snot, which was seen and reported in the Adriatic and Tyrrhenian Seas in the early 1990s, had been on Turkey's agenda as an environmental massive disaster from the winter months of 2021 until the end of summer in the Sea of Marmara. Due to the magnitude and topicality of the subject, the samples collected from the coastal areas where sea snot is observed in Marmara from January until July were examined. According to the results obtained, 5 classes were determined in sea snot. Species of algae that secrete mucilage, which provides stickiness to the formation, were also been identified in sea snot. These are 1 dinoflagellate, 2 Prymnesiosides, 5 diatoms, and 2 cyanobacteria species. 8 toxic planktonic species were detected in sea snot: 1 causing PSP poisoning and 3 of dinoflagellate causing DSP poisoning; 1 of prymnesiophisid that releases ichthyotoxin to the sea environment, and 3 of diatoms that cause ASP poisoning.

This study presents a new locality record of poisonous pufferfish, Lagocephalus sceleratus (Gmelin, 1789), one of the 18 worst invader fish species identified globally by IUCN, from the Sea of Marmara caught by a commercial purse seine fishing vessel while fishing anchovy on 22 February 2021. Previously, this invasive species was first recorded at the Gelibolu peninsula in the Sea of Marmara between September 2007 and October 2008. Lagocephalus sceleratus recorded in this study is larger in size with 142 mm total length than previous records (126 mm in 2007; 95 mm in 2008) for the Sea of Marmara. The presently reported record represents the first documented occurrence of this species in the Erdek Bay of the Sea of Marmara and the third documented record for the entire Sea of Marmara.

This study was conducted to evaluate the parameters on growth performance, molting frequency and carapace coloration of marbled crab (Pachygrapsus marmoratus Fabricius, 1787). Crabs were collected from Urla, İzmir. The experiment was performed in 10 L plastic containers filled with 6 L of seawater at four different salinity levels (5‰, 15‰, 25‰ and 35‰). Ten crabs with an initial mean weight of 0.78±0.03 g were placed in each container with three replicates. Crabs were fed once a day with a commercial diet (46% protein and 18% lipid) for 12 weeks. At the end of the study, the final mean weight (FMW) of the 25‰ group was significantly higher than the 5‰ and 15‰ groups (P<0.05). Specific growth rates (SGR) of the 15‰ and the 35‰ groups and feed conversion ratio (FCR) of the 25‰ group were significantly higher than the 5‰ group (P<0.05). The mean molting frequency (MMF) of the 25‰ group was significantly higher than the 5‰ group (P<0.05). Final lightness (L*) of the 5‰ and 15‰ were significantly lower than their initials (P<0.05). Final redness (a*) of the 25‰ group was the highest among the experimental groups (P<0.05). Final yellowness (b*) of the 25‰ group was significantly higher than the 5‰ and 15‰ groups (P<0.05). According to the results, it is recommended to keep the salinity at 25‰ under marble crab rearing conditions. Further studies are needed to reveal the potential properties of this species in marine aquariums.

In August 2020, a total area of 38000 m2 around Gökçeada has been scanned to determine the current population status of Pinna nobilis. 9 stations (Yıldızkoy, Manastır, Marmaros, Gizli Liman, Laz Koyu, Kapıkaya, Karaçavuş, Karaçavuş shore and Kefalos) have been detected by means of SCUBA and ABC diving techniques. All specimens were found dead (total mass mortality of 100%). The total length range of P. nobilis was between 30.8 – 38.3 cm.
