scholarly journals Red tides of the dinoflagellate Noctiluca scintillans associated with eutrophication in the Sea of Marmara (the Dardanelles, Turkey)⁎⁎This study contains the findings of various project such as ‘Turkish Scientific and Technical Research Council (TUBITAK, YDABAG, Project No: 101Y081)’ and ‘Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University Scientific Research Projects (COMU, BAP, Project No: 2000/22)’. This study was presented as an oral presentation at a Workshop on Algal and Jellyfish Blooms in the Mediterranean and Black Sea organized by the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) on 6–8 October 2010, Istanbul, Turkey. This study was also published as an abstract in the List of Documents and Abstracts of the Workshop.

Microlipophrys adriaticus (Steindachner & Kolombatovic, 1883) is an endemic blenny of the Mediterranean Sea. It is also known from the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea. However, unlike other species of combtooth blennies, M. adriaticus is a fish with a limited distribution in Adriatic Sea, especially in the north, where it can be common. We report here the first record of this species from the waters of the Ionian Sea.

Little is known about the life history of the species of Gaidropsaurus Rafinesque, 1810. Two species of this genus, G. mediterraneus (Linnaeus, 1758) and G. biscayensis (Collett, 1890) = Antonogadus megalokynodon Kolombotovic, 1894 occur in the Sea of Marmara. The egg, larvae and pelagic juveniles of G. biscayensis have never been described. Egg, prelarval and early postlarval stages attributed to G. mediterraneus have been described and illustrated by many workers, but there has been confusion in their identifications.Three species of Gaidropsaurus, G. mediterraneus, G. biscayensis and G. vulgaris (Cloquet, 1824) are recorded from the Mediterranean. Raffaele (1888) made artificial fertilizations of eggs of Naples specimens that he identified as Motella tricirrata Nilsson, 1832 = G. vulgaris. Holt (1899) found some eggs which are similar to those described and figured by Raffaele in the plankton off Marseille, but he considered it impossible to distinguish whether the larvae which hatched out from those eggs were Motella tricirrata i.e. G. vulgaris or Motella mediterranea Lütken, 1882 i.e. G. mediterraneus. Ehrenbaum (1905–9) who re-examined the various records of eggs and larval stages of Gaidropsaurus believes that those figured by RafFaele (1888) and Holt (1899) as well as the larvae referred to Phycis Artedi, 1792 and a pleuronectid by Emery (1886) and Marion (1894) respectively probably belong to Onos (Gaidropsaurus) mediterraneus. Aboussouan (1964) who worked on ichthyoplankton of the Gulf of Marseille also attributed some eggs and larvae to G. mediterraneus and figured one of those postlarvae which is 2·65 mm in standard length.The eggs and prelarval stage of G. mediterraneus have more precisely been described and illustrated by Soviet investigators (Vodyanitskii & Kazanova, 1954; Duka, 1958; Dekhnik, 1973)> from the Black Sea.

Analysis of myogen and eleven enzymes (AAT, ADH, EST, GPI, IDHP, LDH, MDH, MEP, PGDH, PGM and SOD) were carried out by using starch gel and isoelectric focusing electrophoresis on thinlayer and ultrathin polyacrylamide ampholine and servalite gels in scad species from the Black Sea, the Sea of Marmara, the Aegean Sea, and the Mediterranean. Data from electrophoretic investigations was used to clarify the population structure of the scad migrating in the Bulgarian aquatory of the Black Sea and consisting of two main subpopulations: a) a "Black Sea" one hibernating in this sea only, and b) a "Sea of Marmara" one hibernating in that sea and contiguous Black Sea regions around the Bosporus. Non-specific muscular esterases were used, because they were appropriate for identification of both subspecies: Trachurus mediterraneus ponticus Aleev and Tr.m.mediterraneus Steindachner. Nei's genetic distance (D=0,0113) was used as an indication of their isolation dated back to the Carangate Period. An attempt was made to check the hypothesis of the origin of "large" ("giant") scad in the Black Sea as a result of the heterozygotic interbreeding between Tr.m.ponticus Aleev and Tr.m.mediterraneus Steindachner. A new allele Est-1E as well as the previously known alleles Est-1A and Est-1-B, were found in Mediterranean scad Tr.m.mediterraneus caught off Nice (France). It's proposed that the presence of the large form of large scat in this area is also a consequence of the heterozytic efect from the interbreeding between a population marked by Est-1-A and Est-1-B and a population marked by Est-1-E, probably inhabiting the waters around Gibraltar in the Atlantic Ocean.

A checklist of the marine fish fauna of Turkey is presented for the first time. Examination of the previous studies revealed the presence of 448 species in 133 families. A total of 45 species, that has a doubtful presence at Turkish seas, was briefly discussed. The ichthyofaunal similarities of seas surrounding Turkey were compared, and the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara were found to be 55.6% similar, whereas, the proportion computed for the Aegean and the Mediterranean Sea was 83.2%.
