Abstract



Çalışmanın amacı
Çanakkale Boğazı kıyısal sularının (0-5 m) yumuşak zeminlerindeki Prosobranş
kommunite yapısını belirlemekti. Bentoz örnekleri Temmuz 2008 ve Nisan 2009
tarihleri arasında bir Scuba dalıcı tarafından 30x30 cm’lik kuadrat
kullanılarak mevsimsel olarak toplanmıştır. Örneklemeler Çanakkale Boğazı’nın 8
farklı istasyonun 3 transekt derinliğinde yürütülmüştür. Prosobranşlardan
toplam 4472 birey kaydedilmiştir. Rissoa splendida Eichwald, 1830 sayısal
olarak en baskın türdü (Di % = 20.57). Lapseki istasyonu en düşük birey
sayısına (157) sahipken, Kilitbahir en yüksek (1069) birey sayısına sahipti. Spearman
korelasyonuna göre en yüksek pozitif ilişki (rs = 0.75) tuzluluk ile tür sayısı
arasındadır. Aksine en düşük (rs = 0.51) ilişki ise pH ile tür sayısı
arasındadır. Bray-Curtis benzerlik analizi yaz ve kış aylarının (88.65%) çok
benzer olduğunu göstermektedir. Çanakkale ve Kilya koyu istasyonları yüksek
(70.87 %) benzerliğe sahipti.

Abstract



The goal of this
study was to determine the community structure belonging to the Prosobranchia
(Gastropoda, Mollusca) in soft bottoms of the Çanakkale Strait coastal waters
(0-5 m). Benthos samples were collected seasonally using a 30x30 quadrate
operated by a SCUBA diver between July 2008 and April 2009. Samplings were
carried out at 3 transect depths of 8 different locations of the Çanakkale
Strait. A total of 4472 specimens of Prosobranchs were recorded. Rissoa
splendida Eichwald, 1830 was the numerically dominant species (Di % = 20.57).
Kilitbahir location had the highest number of individuals (1069), while the
Lapseki location had the lowest number (157). According to Spearman’s rank
correlation, the highest positive correlation (rs = 0.75) was between salinity
and species number. Conversely, the lowest correlation (rs = 0.51) was found
between pH and species number. Bray-Curtis similarity index showed that summer
and winter periods were very similar (88.65 %). Çanakkale and the Kilya inlet
points had the highest similarity (70.87 %).
