Globally distributed sea squirts (tunicates) are one of the most diverse taxonomic group among the chordates. They can undergo whole-body regeneration when it considers that regenerative abilities of vertebrates are highly limited and mostly restricted to the tissue or organ level, research on colonial tunicates is emerging as novel and highly promising field in both regenerative biology. Beside of these, Botrylloides leachii has a pivotal role in many other studies with their another special feature that is undergoing into hibernation when the ambient conditions are not favorable. The two genera of botryllid ascidian are spread among all of the world seas; the Botryllus genus consist 32 species and originated from the Mediterranean Sea and Botrylloides has 19 species. The presence of 6 botryllid ascidian species (Botrylloides leachii, Botrylloides niger, Botrylloides anceps, Botrylloides israliense, Botryllus schlosseri and Botryllus rosaceus) are confirmed in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. In this study, we are planning to clarify the phylogeographic resolution of Botrylloides leachii in the North Eastern Mediterranean Sea by using mitochondrial and nuclear DNA markers (cytochrome oxidase subunit I –COI and histone H3). Beside of these, blastogenic cycles of 14 samples have been monitored by daily for one month to understand differences between those morphs.

Investigation of gas hydrate potential of the Black Sea and modelling of gas production from a hypothetical Class 1 methane hydrate reservoir in the Black Sea conditions Merey, Sukru; Sınayuç, Çağlar (2016-02-01) Gas hydrate deposits which are found in deep ocean sediments and in permafrost regions are supposed to be a fossil fuel reserve for the future. The Black Sea is also considered rich in terms of gas hydrates. It abundantly contains gas hydrates as methane (CH4 similar to 80-99.9%) source. In this study, by using the literature seismic and other data of the Black Sea such as salinity, porosity of the sediments, common gas type, temperature distribution and pressure gradient, it was estimated that up to 71.8 (...
Implementation of Antarctic Krill into the Ocean-Ecosystem Model FESOM-REcoM-2 and its Effects on Southern Ocean Biogeochemistry. Karakus, Onur; Hauck, Judith; Völker, Christoph; Fach Salihoğlu, Bettina Andrea; Hagen, Wilhelm (2020-01-16) In this study, a three-dimensional, coupled ocean ecosystem model (FESOM- REcoM2) is used to investigate the effect of krill on the biogeochemistry of the Southern Ocean. The implementation of Antarctic krill in the model was done in three steps. 1) A second zooplankton group was implemented, which grazes on diatoms, mesozooplankton and nanophytoplankton (in order of descending preference). 2) A new detritus group was added to the model, which represents faster-sinking krill faecal pellets. 3) The grazing i...
Testing early life connectivity supplying a marine fishery around the Falkland Islands Ashford, Julian R.; Fach Salihoğlu, Bettina Andrea; Arkhipkin, Alexander I.; Jones, Cynthia M. (2012-06-01) We used a wind-driven global circulation model to build spatially explicit predictions from rival hypotheses concerning advective supply of Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) to a trawl fishery around the Falkland Islands, and tested the predictions using chemistry recorded in the otoliths of fish caught in the fishery. Model simulations indicated transport pathways from spawning aggregations off southern Chile to both the north and south of the fishing area. In contrast, simulated particles re...
Prevalence of mecA in surface water contaminated with Staphylococcus Seyedomir, Ee; Yılmaz, Fadime; İçgen, Bülent (null; 2014-04-30) Water is one of the most relevant vehicles of bacterial propagation and dissemination. The presence of antibiotics in natural waters and overland runoff has selected for highly resistant bacteria in nonclinical settings like rivers. Therefore, surface waters have been suggested to play a role in the dissemination and development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria. The use of antibiotics and spread of antibiotic resistance in clinical settings is a well-recognized problem, but antibiotics and antibiotic re...
Preliminary estimation of the tsunami hazards associated with the Makran subduction zone at the northwestern Indian Ocean Heidarzadeh, Mohammad; Pirooz, Moharram D.; Zaker, Nasser H.; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet (2009-02-01) We present a preliminary estimation of tsunami hazard associated with the Makran subduction zone (MSZ) at the northwestern Indian Ocean. Makran is one of the two main tsunamigenic zones in the Indian Ocean, which has produced some tsunamis in the past. Northwestern Indian Ocean remains one of the least studied regions in the world in terms of tsunami hazard assessment. Hence, a scenario-based method is employed to provide an estimation of tsunami hazard in this region for the first time. The numerical model...
