Ege Denizi’nin Türkiye kıyılarındaki pelajik denizel diyatomların kontrol listesi

Öz

Bu çalışma, Ege Denizi’nin Türkiye kıyılarında kaydedilen denizel diyatom türlerine ilişkin bir kontrol listesi oluşturmak amacıyla 41 literatür çalışmasının değerlendirilmesiyle hazırlanmıştır. Bölgedeki pelajik sularda toplamda 75 cinse ait 194 diyatom türü tespit edilmiş olup, bunlardan 32’si zararlı tür kategorisine girmektedir. Bu türler arasında bazıları aşırı üreme göstermiştir. Bu çalışma, özellikle moleküler tekniklerin sınırlı kullanımı ve bazı türlerin domoik asit üretme potansiyeline sahip olmasına rağmen, bu bölgede toksisite değerlendirmelerinin eksikliği gibi önemli araştırma boşluklarını ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Gelecekteki araştırmalar, tür tespitinin doğruluğunu artırmak, zararlı alg üreme (HAB) risklerini değerlendirmek ve uzun vadeli izleme stratejilerini güçlendirmek için moleküler yöntemlerin ve domoik asit analizlerinin entegrasyonuna öncelik vermelidir. Ayrıca, tür kontrol listelerinin düzenli olarak güncellenmesi, kapsamlı veri setlerinin oluşturulması, biyolojik çeşitlilik değerlendirmelerinin geliştirilmesi ve Ege Denizi’nin Türkiye kıyılarındaki fitoplankton araştırmalarının ilerletilmesi açısından kritik öneme sahiptir.

Checklist of marine pelagic diatoms from the Turkish side of the Aegean Sea

Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive checklist of marine diatoms recorded along the Turkish coast of the Aegean Sea, based on the evaluation of 41 literature studies. A total of 194 diatom species, belonging to 75 genera, were identified in the pelagic waters of the region, with 32 species recognized as harmful. Among them, several species exhibited bloom events or reached high cell concentrations. The study also highlights significant research gaps, particularly the limited application of molecular techniques and some species are known to have domoic acid-producing potential, but their toxicity remains unexamined in this region due to the lack of dedicated studies. Future research should prioritize integrating molecular methods and domoic acid analyses to improve species identification, assess harmful algal bloom (HAB) risks, and strengthen long-term monitoring strategies. Furthermore, regularly updating species checklists is essential for developing comprehensive datasets, enhancing biodiversity assessments, and advancing phytoplankton research along the Turkish coast of the Aegean Sea.
