Abstract



Between October 2012 and September 2013, a research has been conducted on
marine mammal strandings on Turkish western Black Sea coast. In total, 54
stranded cetaceans were found, which included 22 bottlenose dolphins (41%), 19
harbour porpoises (35%), 11 common dolphins (20%), and 4% unidentified
individuals. Most strandings were observed in May and June. Bycaught carcases
were found especially in April, June and July. 
The aim of the study is to collect first-hand data on the monthly
stranding rates in order to understand the seasonal variation of stranding
cases in a year.

Abstract



Batı Karadeniz Türkiye kıyılarında, 2012 Ekim ayı
ile 2013 Eylül ayı süresince karaya vuran deniz memelileri üzerine aylık bir
araştırma gerçekleştirilmiştir. 22’si afalina (%41), 19’u mutur (%35), 11’i
tırtak (%20) ve %4’ü tanımlanamayan olmak üzere toplam 54 Cetacea bireyi ölü
olarak rapor edilmiştir. En yüksek ölüm oranı Mayıs ve Haziran aylarında
kaydedilmiştir. Balıkçılık (tesadüfi ağa yakalanma) kaynaklı ölümler (%35)
özellikle Nisan, Haziran ve Temmuz aylarında görülmüştür. Çalışmanın amacı
bölgedeki aylık karaya vurma oranları hakkında ilk elden veri elde etmek,
böylelikle yıl içindeki ölümlerin mevsimsel değişimleri hakkında bilgi sahibi
olmaktır.
