Çanakkale Boğazı, Çardak Lagünü’ndeki Cnidaria ve Echinodermata gruplarının bolluğu ile çevresel değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiler

Öz

Bu çalışma, Çardak Lagünü'nde bulunan Cnidaria ve Echinodermata gruplarının bollukları ile çevresel değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktadır. Benthos örnekleri, bir SCUBA dalgıcı tarafından 100 x 100 cm'lik metal çerçeveli bir kuadrat ve 393 cm3’lük kor kullanılarak Ekim 2018, Şubat, Nisan ve Haziran 2019'da üç tekrarlı olacak şekilde toplandı. Sediment materyali, Çanakkale Boğazı'ndaki Çardak Lagünü’nün 7 örnekleme noktasından toplanmıştır. Çalışma alanında Cnidaria ve Echinodermata şubelerine ait toplam 259 birey tespit edilmiştir. Knidaria türü Actinia sp. ve ekinoderm, Asterina gibbosa en baskın türlerdir. En yüksek pozitif korelasyon değeri (r=0.94; p<0.01), Cnidaria tür sayısı ile sedimandaki organik madde (%OM) içeriği arasında olmuştur. Lagün sistemde en yüksek negatif korelasyon değeri (r=-0.921; p<0.01) Echinodermata grubuna ait tür sayısı ile NO2+NO3 arasında bulunmuştur.

Relationships between environmental variables and abundance of Cnidaria and Echinodermata in Çardak Lagoon, Çanakkale Strait

Abstract

This study is on the relationships between the abundances, of cnidarians and echinoderms found in Çardak Lagoon and environmental variables. The benthos samples were collected in three replicates in October 2018, February, April, and June 2019, using a metal framed quadrat system of 100 x 100 cm and 393 cm3 sediment core by a SCUBA diver. Sediment material was collected at 7 sampling points of Çardak Lagoon in Çanakkale Strait. A total of 259 individuals belonging to phylum, Cnidaria and Echinodermata were found in the study area. Cnidarian, Actinia sp. and echinoderm, Asterina gibbosa were the most dominant species. The highest positive correlation value was between Cnidaria species number and organic matter (OM%) content in the sediment. The highest negative correlation value was between Echinodermata species number and NO2+NO3 in lagoon system.
