Marine and coastal ecosystems

The growing interest in low-carbon energy systems has led to increased study on microalgae as a high-yield, land-efficient bioresource. Although photobioreactors (PBRs) are controlled systems for algal cultivation, lighting limitations remain a significant issue in system performance. Understanding light attenuation m…

Abstract. Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) serves as a primary indicator of phytoplankton abundance and plays a central role in assessing coastal water quality and eutrophication processes. As an optically active substance, its concentration modulates water-leaving radiance, enabling retrieval from multispectral satellite observ…

This study presents a multi-indicator remote sensing framework for assessing satellite-derived water-quality-related and trophic-state-related dynamics across four freshwater systems in Türkiye Egirdir Lake, Sapanca Lake, Catalan Dam, and Yuvacik Dam between the baseline (2015–2018) and recent (2023–2025) periods. Rat…

Zooplanktonic organisms are essential for biodiversity in aquatic environments for their role of grazing on primary producers and serving as prey for higher predators. Aquatic habitat regions and climate have an effect on their distribution and adaptations to it. The Irano-Anatolian Hotspot region extends from high al…

The research investigated the accumulation of essential and non-essential elements in the fillets and gonads of European flounder (Platichthys flesus) from the Southern Black Sea, specifically the Sinop coast of Türkiye. Twelve samples collected during January and February 2022 underwent ICP-MS analysis following micr…

Phytoplankton are foundation of marine food webs and are sensitive indicators of environmental variability. Phytoplankton are the primary biomass producer in marine ecosystems, providing ecological sustainability for aquatic life. Through photosynthesis, they produce nearly half of the Earth's organic matter, converti…

This study investigated the temporal and spatial variability of mesozooplankton community structure, abundance, biomass, and species composition in Hamsilos Bay, located in the southern Black Sea, during the summer of 2024. Zooplankton samples were collected monthly from six stations distributed throughout the bay bet…

Marine sea‐cage aquaculture continues to expand, increasing the need for monitoring tools capable of distinguishing farm‐related nutrient enrichment from natural coastal variability. This study evaluated the trophic status of 18 sea‐cage aquaculture farms along the southern Black Sea coast using the Trophic Index (TRI…

Abstract In 70 lentic systems across Türkiye, phytoplankton communities and environmental variables were analyzed using samples collected during the spring, summer, and autumn of 2017–2019. The study aimed to assess the influence of both spatial and environmental factors on phytoplankton assemblages. The lentic system…
