Abstract:

The blue button Porpita porpita (Linnaeus, 1758) was observed for the first time in July 2018 in the Iskenderun Bay, Northeastern Mediterranean coast of Turkey. This is the third record of this species for Turkish marine waters, while it is the first record for Iskenderun bay. The presence of P. porpita in the northeastern Mediterranean coast of Turkey shows its extension from northwestern Mediterranean coast (Antalya Bay) of Turkey.

Abstract:

Genetic structure and growth characteristics of common pandora Pagellus erythrinus populations collected from the Iskenderun, Mersin and Antalya Bays were revealed through D-loop sequencing of mtDNA and length-weight and age-length relationships. While the highest value of genetic diversity was obtained in the Mersin population (0.0024), the lowest value was in Iskenderun population (0.0006). A total of 9 haplotypes was found and mean haplotype diversity was found 0.7485. The highest genetic divergence was observed between the Mersin and Iskenderun Bay populations (0.0206), whereas the Iskenderun and Antalya Bay populations had the least genetic divergence (0.0165). BioMorphv3 was used for determining the length-weight and age-length relationships. The length-weight relationships for all individuals of Iskenderun, Mersin and Antalya populations were estimated as W=0.0693 x L 2.3887 (r=0.9456), W=0.0786 x L 2.3338 (r=0.9473) and W=0.0693 x L 2.3887 (r=0.9542), respectively. The von Bertalanffy growth parameters for all individuals of Iskenderun, Mersin and Antalya populations were calculated as Lt=39.22 [1 - e0.210(t+0.32)], Lt=50.48 [1-e0.120(t+2.76)], Lt=38.08 [1-e 0.158(t+0.48)], respectively.

Abstract:

Radiocarbon dating was carried out in the sediment profiles of four marine sediment cores taken from Iskenderun Bay, Turkey. The bay is quite shallow in the present day, and a previous tectonic study had considered that the bay floor might have been subsiding. However, this cannot be so, for the 14C ages would thereby lead to the apparent paradox of normal marine sedimentation having taken place during times when glacio-eustatic sea level lowering would have exposed the bay floor. Rather, we conclude that the floor of Iskenderun Bay on the whole has been experiencing rapid uplift since the end of the Last Glacial, due to a combination of tectonic factors linked to the compression between the Anatolian and African plates.

Abstract:

During a Scuba survey in Iskenderun Bay at night time on November 2018, a female Urocaridella pulchella individual was observed with nocturnal cleaning on Octopus vulgaris at 16 m in depth. Some photos of the shrimp and its symbiont were taken. Although the nocturnal cleaning relationship between U. pulchella and various marine species has been reported in some studies, the nocturnal cleaning relationship between O. vulgaris and U. pulchella has been observed for the first time. In addition, in the present study, we first reported Indo-Pacific palaemonid shrimp U. pulchella which was encountered in its natural habitat during an underwater observation from Iskenderun Bay, and this report is the first observation for this area and fills a gap in the distribution range of this species.Keywords: eastern Mediterranean, Iskenderun coast, nocturnal cleaning, Palaemonidae, Turkey.

Abstract:

Concentrations of aluminum, chromium, cobalt, nickel, cadmium, lead, manganese, iron and zinc were determined in sea urchin species, Diadema setosum from Iskenderun Bay in December 2022. The level of metals was determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS). Concentrations of the heavy metals in the examined sea urchins ranged as follows: Al 0.07-7.17 µg g-1; Cr 0.07–0.8 µg g-1; Co 0.01–0.2 µg g-1; Ni 0.2–2.9 µg g-1; Cd 0.0–0.02 µg g-1; Pb 0.4-3.5 µg g-1; Mn 0.03–0.4 µg g-1; Fe 1.2-57.2 µg g-1; Zn 0.28–2.7 µg g-1, respectively. The highest accumulation of Fe and Pb metals was determined in the tissues of the sea urchin. The present study suggests that D. setosum could be a potential biological indicator of metal pollution in the İskenderun Bay. Furthermore, soft tissues generally had lower levels overall. For this reason, the data show that D. setosum is a very good heavy metal collector and therefore may be used successfully to monitor heavy metal levels in Iskenderun Bay.

Demirci, Sevil. "Impact of Regional Wind Changes on Trawl Fishing Effort Under the Pressure of Overfishing in the Iskenderun Bay." Sustainability 17, no. 5 (2025): 2055. https://doi.org/10.3390/su17052055.

Full text

Abstract:

This study was conducted to examine the effects of regional wind changes on trawl fishing effort in Iskenderun Bay from 2017 to 2023 by analyzing meteorological data, daily fishing durations, and catch quantities. It was found that an increase in wind intensity reduced fishing durations by an average of 0.367 h. Northerly and easterly winds were observed to have higher speeds throughout the year, with the highest speeds reaching 14 m/s in March. Fishing activities were affected more by southerly and westerly winds due to the geographical structure of Iskenderun Bay. Seasonal variations were also detected, with fishing durations being longer at the beginning of the fishing season in autumn and decreasing in spring. Species such as red mullet, brushtooth lizardfish, and shrimp were identified as having a significant impact on fishing activities. The relationships between wind intensity, direction, and fishing durations were revealed through statistical analyses. It was shown that environmental and seasonal factors influenced trawl fishing effort in Iskenderun Bay. These results provided insights into the interactions between wind dynamics and fishing operations.

Full text

Abstract:

Nursery areas are essential habitats for sharks, offering protection and increasing the survival of newborns. This study aims to investigate a potential nursery area for Squalus blainville in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea that has very scarce information in the eastern Mediterranean Sea and contributes to the length-weight relationships. We identified the location of the potential nursery area by interviewing local fishermen. We collected 48 adults and 22 embryos neonates of S. blainville specimens from the entrance of Iskenderun Bay on 03 April 2024. We recorded 48 longnose spurdog sharks in the catches ranging from 68.9 cm to 120.2 cm TL, which corresponded to mature individuals. The length-weight relations (LWR) of combined sexes of S. blainville were observed as W = 0.0005 x L3.0277 (R2 = 0.9303). Our data provide evidence to recognize Iskenderun Bay as a possible nursery area for longnose spurdog sharks, meeting all the criteria proposed to identify nursery areas. These findings constitute the first documented evidence of a longnose spurdog shark nursery area in the Iskenderun Bay in Turkish marine waters.

Abstract:

Hazeus ingressus Engin, Larson & Irmak, 2018, a new Indo-Pacific goby, was first discovered and described on Türkiye’s Mediterranean coasts before being detected in its native location. It may have entered the Mediterranean through the Suez Canal, as a native population was later found in the northern Red Sea. This study provides further reports of H. ingressus from İskenderun and Antalya Bay, indicating that the species is also found in the eastern and central parts of the Levant Basin. Samples were obtained from Antalya Bay on July 26, September 27, and İskenderun Bay on August 26, 2021. These reports are based on larval specimens identified through DNA barcoding, highlighting the efficacy of ichthyoplankton samplings as a valuable tool for monitoring non-indigenous fish species in the Eastern Mediterranean —an area prone to biological invasions. Observing larval stages also suggests local spawning, indicating the presence of reproducing populations. Our study provides the first morphological description of H. ingressus larvae, which may serve as a valuable reference for future studies.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine the accumulation levels of ten metals (Fe, Zn, Cd, Cu, Co, Ni, Al, Mn, Pb, and Cr) in the muscle tissues of Actina equina indvduals. A total of 120 individuals of A. equina were collected at six different stations in İskenderun Bay in spring 2013. The accumulation levels of heavy metals in the tissues were found to vary significantly among stations. The mean concentrations of Fe were the highest at Samandağ station (105.11 ± 74.28 mg/kg) whereas the lowest average value of Co (0.84 ± 0.10 mg/kg) was obtained at Dörtyol station. Heavy metal concentratıons in muscle tissue of A. equina were ordered as Fe>Zn>Mn>Al>Cr>Cu>Pb>Ni>Cd>Co, respectively. This study is the first detailed bioaccumulation study conducted with A. equina in İskenderun Bay.

Abstract:

This study investigates the monitoring of sea surface temperature (SST) and chlorophyll-a (chl-a) levels in Iskenderun Bay using satellite and modeling data and evaluates the possible use of these datasets for monitoring marine ecosystems. Datasets derived from MODIS-Aqua satellite imagery and modeling data obtained from the Copernicus MyOcean and in-situ measurements were used in the study. According to the analysis on paried data sets of the distribution of SST and chl-a, sattelite and model datasets showed statistically significant correlations with in-situ measurements for SST. However, only satellite dataset showed significant correlations for Chl-a. Evaluations on uncertainty of the data sets revealed that the satellite dataset had a narrower range and less outlier distribution for SST. For chlorophyll-a, both datasets had wide uncertainty ranges and required further improvement. This study highlights the potential of satellite and model datasets for monitoring SST and chl-a variations in Iskenderun Bay.

Abstract:

Suez pufferfish (Lagocephalus suezensis) is a Lessepsian species introduced to the Mediterranean via the Suez Canal. This study was carried out for the identification of some population dynamics parameters of Suez pufferfish (Lagocephalus suezensis) distributed along the western coast of Iskenderun Bay. Samples were seasonally collected from two transects at 10 and 20 m depth contours from 2006 to 2017 using a commercial bottom trawl net with 44 mm mesh size. A total of 1279 individuals were investigated. Among them 427 were males, 586 were females, 266 were juveniles. Total length ranged from 5.2 to 24.0 cm and mean length was 13.44 ± 2.02 (± standard error) cm; total weight ranged from 1.77 to 232.97 g and mean weight was 32.05 ± 14.28 g for all individuals. Length-weight relationships were W=0.02*TL2.83 for males, W= 0.02*TL2.82 for females, and W=0.02*TL2.89 for aggregated data. The von Bertalanffy growth parameters were as follows; L∞ = 24.97 cm, K = 0.60 year-1, t0= -0.28, Rn = 0.145 for all specimens. Growth performance index was calculated as 5.92. Rates of total (Z) and natural (M) mortality was found to be 1.07 and 0.981 year-1.

Abstract:

This study examined the age distribution and growth characteristics of the striped eel catfish (Plotosus lineatus), which is an invasive alien species in the eastern Mediterranean. A total of 1,011 samples were collected from Iskenderun Bay (Turkey), with lengths ranging from 5.1 to 16.8 cm, predominantly comprising females (1:1.92). Age 3 represented the majority in the population (52.03%). The value of the scaling exponent “b” of the length-weight relationship was less than “3” for both sexes (females: 2.28; males: 2.26; combined: 2.27). The results for the von Bertalanffy growth parameters were observed for the combined sexes as, L∞ = 24.9934 cm, k = 0.1718 year−1, and t₀ = −1.7707 years. The striped eel catfish populations in Iskenderun Bay exhibited negative allometric growth patterns and were predominantly composed of adult individuals. This study presents the dataset on the length-weight correlations, age-growth characteristics, and von Bertalanffy growth parameters of Plotosus lineatus in the Mediterranean Sea, thereby significantly contributing to comprehending the stock dynamics. It is anticipated that this study will make a significant contribution to the management of P. lineatus stocks, given its invasive nature.

Abstract:

This study aimed to status of the Iskenderun population of Epinephelus costae, an important fish species in the Mediterranean Sea ecosystem, by providing detailed data on its genetic structure using mtDNA COI gene region and biological parameters as length-weight relationship, age-growth characteristics, von Bertalanffy growth parameters. A total of 325 specimens were studied from Iskenderun Bay in the eastern Mediterranean (Türkiye), ranging in length from 16.7 to 43.5 cm. For genetic studies using the mtDNA COI gene region, 30 samples were selected from different size groups representing the population. Age 2 represented the majority of the population (31.69%). The value of “b” of the length-weight relationship was higher than “3” (3.0839). The results for the von Bertalanffy growth parameters were observed as Lα = 125.8 cm; k = 0.0570 year −1; t0 = − 2.2410 year. Fulton’s condition factor was observed as 1.4120. The growth performance index was calculated as 4.35. The genetic diversity of the population was found to be 0.0332 ± 0.0028. Sixteen haplotypes were observed in the population and haplotype diversity was calculated as 0.9379. Tajima’s neutrality test (−0.9437), Fu’s Fs Statistic (−0.0340), Strobeck’s S Statistic (0.6620), Achaz’s Y test (−1.8728), Fu and Li D (1.1570) and F Test (0.4444) were applied to test whether the population is in balance. In conclusion, the biological and genetic analyses carried out within the scope of our study revealed that the Iskenderun population of E. costae is in stable condition.

Full text

Abstract:

A quantitative study of benthic foraminifera, sediment texture and composition from two cores was performed to unravel the environmental evolution of the Iskenderun Bay (eastern Turkey) in the Holocene. Core 29 (NE Iskenderun Bay) consists of clay and silt from the top of the core down to 35 cm with dominant bioclasts (coral Cladocora caespitosa) from 35 cm down to the bottom of the core. Core 92, located near an ancient Ceyhan River mouth (Yumurtalik), consists of sandy and silty sediment passing to homogeneous clay and silt at about 48 cm from the top. Several grab samples show very coarse biogenic detritus covered by a centimetric veneer of sandy silt and clay. Radiocarbon dating of corals, molluscs and algae from core 29 and five selected grab samples, the sediment and foraminiferal study indicate that at least three pulses of muddy sedimentation occurred in the bay. (1) An older pulse (about 3700 yrs BP) related to the large-scale forest clearing (Beysheir Occupation Phase). (2) Another pulse coincides with a major delta progradation of the Ceyhan River at about 2140 years BP. (3) A younger pulse follows the diversion of the Ceyhan River mouth toward Yumurtalik, from the Middle Age to 1935.Species interpreted as tolerant of low salinity indicate that the influence of the Ceyhan was minor when the river drained directly into the Mediterranean Sea (approximately 2000 years BP) and progressively increased when the river diverted towards Yumurtalik.

Abstract:

Abstract The ecological risk resulting from the accumulation of some heavy metals in the sediments of Iskenderun Bay was assessed using the following measures: enrichment and contamination factor, pollution load index (PLI), and potential ecological risk index (RI). The concentrations of the studied heavy metals were in the following order: Fe > Ni > Mn > Cr > Zn > Cu > As > Pb > Cd > Hg. Ni and As had the highest EF values. This situation is most likely due to the presence of iron, pesticide, and fertilizer plants in the region. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Ni, As, Mn, and Cr may have harmful effects on faunal communities in sediments. According to the RI, Site 4 was more contaminated and toxic than the other seven study sites, with “moderate” ecological risk. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was determined by multivariate methods – cluster and principal component analysis. As can be inferred from the RI values, the potential toxic effect of As and Ni in the sediments is moderate.

Abstract:

In the present study, the seaweeds belong to Phaeophyaceae (Cystoseira elegans Sauvageau 1912, Cystoseira amentacea (C.Agardh) Bory 1832, Padina crassa Yamada 1931) and Florideophyceae (Corallina elongata J.Ellis & Solander 1786) collected from nearby Iskenderun-Turkey of Mediterranean Sea were detected for their antimicrobial activities against seven bacterial strains (Escherichia coli ATCC 35218, Bacillus cereus NRRL B-371, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 13883, Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 14028, Proteus vulgaris RSKK 96029). The antimicrobial activities were expressed as minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBCs). According to the results obtained from MICs and MBCs values of the extracts on pathogenic microorganisms were between 0.78 to 50 mg/mL. The lowest MICs and MBCs values were recorded for C. elegans extract against B. cereus with a MIC value of 0.78 mg/mL. These results suggest that secondary metabolites of brown and red algae are important sources that could be used as broad spectrum of biological and pharmaceutical activities.

First record of a Lessepsian migrant: the sea cucumber Holothuria (Theelothuria) hamata Pearson, 1913. A single specimen of the Indo-West Pacific sea cucumber Holothuria (Theelothuria) hamata Pearson, 1913 has been captured in 2017 in the Mediterranean Sea, Turkey, Iskenderun Bay, at 30 m depth. This specimen is here described, and the taxonomy of the species is briefly discussed. Despite the lack of timed biogeographic evidence, we here argue that H. hamata is a Lessepsian migrant; the first in its genus and only the second holothuroid.

Full text

Abstract:

Many vertebrate and invertebrate species of Indo-Pacific origin are observed in the Eastern Mediterranean. These alien species were likely transported via ballast waters or by attaching themselves onto vessels. In addition to that, many species were carried into the Mediterranean for aquaculture purposes or inadvertantly introduced from public aquariums. More importantly, man-made canals, especially the Suez Canal, serve as conduits to transportation of species between ecosystems. Many foraminifer species native to the Indo-Pacific were introduced into the Eastern Mediterranean via the Suez Canal. Some of these genera coexist with other benthic foraminifers in the Bay of Haifa, the Gulf of Iskenderun, southwestern Antalya, eastern Aegean Sea and northeast ofCrete.We identified 26 genera and 32 species of Recent Foraminifera common to the Indo-Pacific and some to the Atlantic Ocean in our samples collected from various depths in theAegean and Southwestern Mediterranean coasts of Turkey and the Gulf of Iskenderun. The absence of species native to Atlantic waters in the western Mediterranean suggests that their presence in the eastern Mediterranean must be of Indo-Pacific origin rather than Atlantic.

The present study is dealing with three Circulus species recorded along the Turkish coasts (İskenderun Bay, Levantine coast of Türkiye). Of the identified species, Circulus novemcarinatus and Circulus octoliratus are non-indigenous species originated outside the Mediterranean Sea, whereas Circulus striatus is a native one distributed in the eastern Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. While Circulus novemcarinatus was recorded at depths between 9 and 60 m, Circulus octoliratus and Circulus striatus were encountered at shallow depths (5-11.7 m, respectively). Within the present study some morphological and distributional characteristics of the investigated species are described.

Abstract:

A single adult specimen of the stonefish, Synanceia verrucosa Bloch and Schneider, 1801, was observed on June 13, 2024, from Konacık (Iskenderun Bay), northeastern Mediterranean coast of Türkiye. The occurrence of this species in Turkish Mediterranean waters is probably due to its migration from the Red Sea via the Suez Canal. The present paper reports the second occurrence of the stonefish, S. verrucosa after thirteen years from the coast of Türkiye. Thus, this study is an important record that S. verrrucosa may have settled on the Northern Mediterranean coast of Türkiye.

Abstract:

The study was carried out to estimate the temperature, light intensity, salinity, Dissolved O2 (DO), pH values and the biotic parameter chlorophyll- a in the water column related with the depth. Because, the physico-chemical parameters affect greatly both primary and secondary producers in marine life. For this purpose the physico-chemical properties were determined day and night for 40 meter depth during the eight days. The means were compared by using the analysis of variance method and Duncan’s Multiple Comparison Test. Also physico-chemical parameters were estimated by using the analysis of regression and correlation. The effect of temperature and salinity were found significant according to the result of the analysis of variance during the day. Also the similar results were found for the night. While the effect of the depth on the chloropyll-a a was significant in the night, the effect of the depth on the DO was not significant in the day and night. The correlations among the depth and the parameters were defined. It was found the negative correlation between the depth and the temperature and light intensity. Determination coefficient of the model for salinity was also found different for day time. The correlation values among the depth and the temperature, salinity and pH were found different for the night.
