Aristeus Antennatus

A female specimen of the deep-water red shrimp, Aristeus antennatus(Risso, 1816) was caught at depths of between 550 m and 670 m during 2005 by trawling off the Marmaris coast. A. antennatus is a species known to inhabit only the Levantine Sea coast of Turkey. This paper is on the first record of the species along the southern Aegean Sea coast of Turkey

Mitochondrial Dna Haplotype

A new record of a marble trout mtDNA haplotype known to be restricted to Adriatic basin (called marmoratus lineage within Salmo trutta complex) has been reported from Eşen Stream in the Aegean Sea basin of southeastern Turkey, based on sequence data of the mitochondrial DNA control region. The results of this study showed a single unique haplotype from this population, called MATR1. Phylogenetic analyses of this haplotype along with other haplotypes belonging to different mitochondrial DNA lineages of the S. trutta complex confirmed the existence of the marmoratus lineage in Turkey, suggesting a possible river capture between the Adriatic and Aegean Sea basins until the last (Würmian) marine regression.

Flora Of Cyprus

This paper concerns records of species that have extended their distribution in the Mediterranean Sea. The finding of the rare brackish angiosperm Althenia filiformis in the island of Cyprus is interesting since its insertion in the Red Data Book of the Flora of Cyprus is suggested. The following species enriched the flora or fauna lists of the relevant countries: the red alga Sebdenia dichotoma (Greece), the hydrachnid mite Pontarachna adriatica (Slovenia), and the thalassinid Gebiacantha talismani (Turkey). Several alien species were recorded in new Mediterranean localities. The record of the burrowing goby Trypauchen vagina in the North Levantine Sea (Turkish coast), suggests the start of spreading of this Lessepsian immigrant in the Mediterranean Sea. The findings of the following species indicate the extension of their occurrence in the Mediterranean Sea: the foraminifer Amphistegina lobifera (island of Zakynthos, Greece), the medusa Cassiopea andromeda (Syria), the copepod Centropages furcatus (Aegean Sea), the decapod shrimp Melicertus hathor (island of Kastellorizo, Greece), the crab Menoethius monoceros (Gulf of Tunis), the barnacles Balanus trigonus, Megabalanus tintinnabulum, Megabalanus coccopoma and the bivalves Chama asperella, Cucurbitula cymbium (Saronikos Gulf, Greece).

AbstractOne mature female specimen of serpent eel Ophisurus serpens (Linnaeus, 1758) was caught by long line by a professional fisherman at a depth of about 45 m from Ece Bight, Saros Bay, north Aegean Sea on 15 February 2016. The species was previously reported without any morphometric and meristic characters from Saros Bay. Some biological characters, such as age and diameters of otolith and oocytes, are also given. In this study, the detailed morphomeristic features, which can contribute to the taxonomic studies of serpent eel from Turkish Seas, are presented.

Eleven Species

Antipatharians are still poorly documented in the southeastern Pacific, with just eleven species reported in Chilean waters, all of them distributed in subtidal areas from 70 to 2000 m depth (Häussermann & Försterra, 2007; Cañete & Häussermann, 2012; Araya et al. 2016a). Among the family Schizopathidae Brook, 1889, which is characterized by polyps elongated in the direction of the axis and having a transverse diameter of 2 mm or more (Opresko, 2002), the recently described deep-water genus Alternatipathes Molodtsova & Opresko, 2017, encompasses two recognized species, Alternatipathes alternata (Brook, 1889), reported from abyssal basins (2670 to 5089 m depth) of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, and Alternatipathes bipinnata (Opresko, 2005), known from a few specimens collected in deep waters (1130 to 2846 m) off the Pacific coasts of northern Mexico and southern USA (Opresko, 2005; Molodtsova & Opresko, 2017).
