İzmir iç ve orta körfezi limanlarından sünger türleri (Ege Denizi, Doğu Akdeniz)

Öz



İstilacı yabancı türlerin tespiti için yapılan bu araştırmada, İzmir Körfezi'nin iç ve orta kısımlarında bulunan çeşitli limanlardan birçok bentik örnek rastgele toplanmıştır. Yapay sert substrat üzerinde toplam dört sünger türü (Sycon raphanus, Sycon ciliatum, Paraleucilla magna ve Dysidea fragilis) tespit edilmiştir. Türkiye'nin Ege kıyılarından yeni kaydedilmekte olan Paraleucilla magna, istilacı yabancı bir türdür, örneklenen yüzeylerin maksimum % 35'ini kaplamakta olup neredeyse tüm limanlarda bol miktarda tespit edilmiştir. 

Bu çalışma, bu türlerin morfolojik ve dağılım özelliklerini açıklamaktadır.
