Abstract
|
| |
Water is one of the most essential factors for civilization, and also among the most important items in the new world
order due to its unrenewable feature. In this regard, developed countries have continually been monitoring and classifying
their water. For this reason, a number of EU countries have developed a national water quality system, considering
characteristic structure of their own rivers and have used this type of indices for revealing the current stituation of their water
quality level. While water quality monitoring was first determined according to physical and chemical parameters, biological
factors such as algae, especially diatoms, benthic macroinvertebrates and fish have recently been used for this purpose... |

The reproduction of Aphanius mento is described from the Kirkgoz Spring (Turkey) (37º06' N; 30°35' E) between
January 2002 and December 2002. In this study, the sex ratio, age, the relationship between fecundity and fish length, weight
and gonad weight, the gonadosomatic index, egg diameter and the first age of maturation were observed. Age range was
determined as 0-VII years for 654 individuals. The overall male to female ratio was 1.10 : 1.00. Spawning period was between
May and July. The first maturation was found to be at age I... |

Abstract

In this study, qualitative and quantitative characteristics of phytoplankton community structure and environmental
factors which have influences on its distribution and the changes in Izmir Bay (Aegean Sea) were investigated. The water
samples were collected seasonally between January 1998 and December 2001 from 3 sampling sites (from surface, -5 m, -10
m and -15 m). During the study period, a total of 115 taxa from three algal classes, Cyanophyceae, Dinophyceae and
Bacillariophyceae were determined. Spatio-temporal phytoplankton community composition in the bay was often dominated
by dinoflagellates but shift to diatom dominance was observed in some periods, particularly in spring and winter... |

Newly hatched third instars of Astacus leptodactylus (mean weight 44.5±3.4 mg and mean total length 10.8±0.4 mm)
were randomly stocked in 0.2 m2 aquariums at rate of 100 crayfish/m2 fed with trout feed at a quantity 5% of crayfish body
weight for 90 day. The amount of diet was adjusted according to the total crayfish biomass calculated for each sampling
period (30-days interval). Four feeding intervals were tested: everyday (D), every 2nd (D2), every 3rd (D3), and every 4th day
(D4). At the end of feeding period, the feeding interval had significant impact on crayfish survival, growth rate, and yield... |

protein degradation (SDS and SDS-PAGE), pH, peroxide value (PV), free fatty acids (FFA), total volatile basic nitrogen
(TVB-N), tiobarbituric acid (TBA) analyses), sensory (raw and cooked fish) and microbiological methods. The quality of
common sole decreased on day 16 (fair quality- B) and they were no longer acceptable on day 20 (unacceptable quality-C).
When common sole were considered as fair quality (B) by assessors on ~16-18 days, the average K value was ≥ 80%... |

and histamine formation in marinated anchovies during the storage at 2±2°C. Results showed that thiobarbituric acid
(TBA) values marinated anchovies under M1 and M2 exceeded the limit given by Turkish Food Codex and the sensoric

Bacillus subtilis CY5 (isolated from Cyprinus carpio) and B. megaterium CI3 (isolated from Ctenopharyngodon idella) having extracellular
