Bu körfezlerimizde avlanılan yabancı balık miktarında da özellikle son yıllarda bir artış söz konusudur. Şu ana kadar daha önce yapılan çalışmalarla İskenderun ve Mersin Körfezi’nde geçiş yapan 34 familyaya ait 52 yabancı balık türünün varlığından söz edilmesine rağmen, İskenderun ve Mersin Körfezi’nde, yabancı balıkların saptanması amacı ile Eylül-2010 ve Mayıs 2012 tarihleri arasında uzatma ağları, gırgır ve trol teknelerinden elde edilen verilerle İskenderun ve Mersin Körfezi’ne geçiş yapan yabancı balık türü sayısı 2012 yılı itibariyle 30 familyaya ait 43 tür olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu türlerden özellikle son yıllarda bölgemize giriş yapan Nemipterus randalli, Pomadasys stridens türlerinin bugün ekonomik olarak önem kazanarak balıkçı tezgâhlarında yer aldığı görülmektedir. Son yıllarda küresel ısınma ve etkilerinin sonucu Akdeniz'deki, su sıcaklığındaki artışla beraber, Süveyş Kanalı aracılığıyla Kızıldeniz'den ve Cebelitarık boğazı aracılığıyla Atlantik’ten gelen, yabancı balık türlerinin sürekli Akdeniz ekosistemine giriş yaptığı bilinmektedir. 2012 yılının ilk yarısı itibariyle Champsodon capensis ve Cyclichthys spilostylus türlerinin İskenderun ve Mersin Körfezi’ne giriş yaptığı görülmektedir. Her yıl körfezlerimize yeni türlerin giriş yapmasıyla birlikte ülkemiz balık faunasının tür kompozisyonunda Feedingsürekli değişimler Dietary olmaktadır. of Tench Bu nedenle (Tinca İskenderun tinca ve MersinL., 1758 Körfezi’nde) Inhabiting dağılım gösteren Seyhan yabancı Dam balık türlerininLake (Adana)yeniden gözden geçirilerek, yabancı balık faunasının son yıllardaki durumu hakkındaki güncel bilgilerin ve gelişmelerin değerlendirilerek ortaya koyulması, çalışmanın amacını oluşturmaktadır. Anahtar Kelimeler: İskenderun Körfezi, Mersin Körfezi, yabancı balık faunası, son gelişmeler Recent Developments in Alien Fish Fauna of the Gulf of Iskenderun and Mersin Abstract Our country is in terms of species richness of fish in the Mediterranean, more specifically down towards the Gulf of Iskenderun and Mersin has a great importance. These gulfs in the amount of exotic fish captured has increased in recent years. So far, previous studies introducing in the Gulf of Iskenderun and Mersin 52 alien fish species belonging to 34 families are reported. But, in the Gulf of Iskenderun and Mersin, with the aim of determining the alien fish between September 2010 and May 2012 gillnets, purse seine, and trawl boats data obtained from the Gulf of Iskenderun and Mersin from the year 2012 as the number of alien fish species belonging to 30 families, 43 respectively. Of these; Nemipterus randalli, Pomadasys stridens species are gaining economic importance in fish market. In recent years, as a result of the effect of global warming on the Mediterranean Sea, the water temperature increased.Tthe Suez Canal from the Red Sea and the Atlantic through the Strait of Gibraltar, the introduction of alien fish species are constantly Mediterranean ecosystem. Cyclichthys spilostylus and Champsodon capensis species have entered the Gulf of Iskenderun and Mersin. Introduction of new species of fish introducing an gulfs in our country each year, with the continuous is changes in the composition of the fish fauna. For this reason, the distribution of alien fish species in the Gulf of Iskenderun and Mersin were revised in recent years, and up to date information about the status of the fish fauna of the recent developments in alien study is aimed to evaluate. Keywords: Iskenderun Gulf, Mersin Gulf, alien fish fauna, recent developments D. Ergüden ve C. Turan / BİBAD, 6(1): 17-22, 2013 18 GİRİŞ Kızıldeniz göçmeni balıklar hakkında ülkemiz sularında yapılan çalışmalar 1940’lı yılların başlarına kadar uzanmaktadır. Ancak bu türler üzerine yapılan taksonomik ve 1869 yılında Süveyş Kanalı’nın açılması ve 1964 yılında biyolojik çalışmalar yeterli değildir. Çünkü her yıl körfeze Asuwan Barajı’nın Nil Nehri üzerinde kurulması sonucunda, yeni türlerin giriş yapmasıyla birlikte balık faunasının tür Kızıldeniz ile Akdeniz arasındaki coğrafik engeller kalkmış ve kompozisyonunda değişimler olmaktadır. Bu nedenle Bazı İndo-Pasifik türler (yaşam alanı ve köken olarak Pasifik İskenderun ve Mersin Körfezi’nde dağılım gösteren yabancı ve Hint Okyanuslarına ait olan türler) tuzluluk ve sıcaklık gibi balık türlerinin yeniden gözden geçirilmesi ve son ekolojik parametreler bakımından Kızıldeniz ile paralellik durumlarının ortaya konulması çalışmanın amacını gösteren Doğu Akdeniz’e göç etmeye başlamıştır. oluşturmaktadır. Sularımıza ulaşan yabancı göçmen balıklar Doğu Akdeniz’de kuzeye doğru olan hakim akıntılar etkisiyle Lübnan-Suriye sahillerini takip ederek kıyılarımıza yönelmektedir [1]. Sıcak suları tercih eden balıklar olmaları MATERYAL VE YÖNTEM nedeniyle Akdeniz’deki dağılım alanları neritik sulardır ve genellikle 1-70 metre arasındaki derinlikleri tercih İskenderun ve Mersin Körfezi’ndeki yabancı balık etmektedirler [2]. Yabancı balık türlerinin sularımızla ilk türlerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla, bu çalışma Eylül 2010 ve karşılaştıkları alan genellikle Akdeniz’in doğusunda bulunan Mayıs 2012 ayı tarihleri arasındaki İçel bölgesi (Karaduvar, İskenderun Körfezi ve Mersin Körfezi’dir. İskenderun Körfezi Mersin) ve Hatay bölgesi (Yumurtalık, İskenderun, Arsuz, ve Mersin Körfezi, Levantin Denizi’nin kuzeydoğusunda yer Samandağ, Çevlik) trol, gırgır, uzatma teknelerinden ve Scuba almakta ve tuzluluğu ‰ 38-40, sıcaklığı 14-29 ºC arasında dalışlarından elde edilen örneklerin değerlendirilmesi ve değişmektedir [3]. Aynı zamanda bu iki körfez Türkiye suları önceki çalışmalardan elde edilen sonuçların yeniden revize içindeki en fazla yabancı balık türünü barındırmaktadır. edilmesi ile yapılmıştır. İskenderun ve Mersin Körfezi’nde, Levantin Denizi oligotrofik bir deniz olmasına rağmen [4]. yabancı balıkların saptanması amacı ile Eylül-2010 ve Mayıs İskenderun Körfezi nispeten sığ oluşu, kendine has akıntı 2012 tarihleri arasında uzatma ağları, gırgır ve trol sistemi ve upwelling tipi su hareketleri sebebiyle kuzeydoğu teknelerinden elde edilen verilerle İskenderun ve Mersin Akdeniz’in önemli balıkçılık alanlarından biridir [3]. Bununla Körfezi’ne geçiş yapan yabancı balık türü sayısı 2012 yılı birlikte genel olarak Levantin Denizi’nin kuzeyi (Türkiye’nin itibariyle 30 familyaya ait 43 tür olarak belirlenmiştir. Elde güney kıyıları), tür çeşitliliği bakımından zengin, türün temsil edilen örnekler % 4 lük formalin içerisinde tespit ve muhafaza edildiği birey sayısı bakımından fakir yani verimsizdir. edilmişlerdir. Balıkların sistematik sıralamasında Nelson [10], Dolayısıyla İskenderun Körfezi ve ülkemizin geriye kalan türlerin adlandırılmasında Eschmeyer [11, 12]’e uyulmuştur. güney kıyıları için her yeni yabancı balık türü balıkçılık açısından yeni bir fırsat anlamına gelmektedir. Golani ve ark. [5], Salameh ve ark. [6] ve Erguden ve ark. [7]’e göre BULGULAR VE TARTIŞMA Akdeniz’de bilinen yabancı balık türü bugün itibariyle 80’den fazladır ve yapılan araştırmalarla bu sayı her geçen gün artmaktadır. Türkiye’nin Kuzeydoğu Akdeniz Kıyılarındaki İskenderun Körfezi’nin nispeten zengin balıkçılık Yabancı Balık Türlerinin Artış Nedenleri kaynaklarına sahip olduğu 1940’lardan bu yana bilinmektedir Ülkemizin Doğu Akdeniz kıyıları, Türkiye deniz [8]. Çukurova’nın denizel alandaki devamı olarak şekillenmiş balıkçılığı açısından az gelişmiş bir bölge olmasına karşın, son olan bu körfez, oldukça geniş bir kıta sahanlığına sahiptir. yıllarda balık avı miktarlarında fark edilir düzeyde değişimler İskenderun Körfezi içerisinde derinlik 90 m’yi aşmamaktadır. göstermektedir. Bunun en önemli nedenlerinden biri artan Bundan dolayı Mayıs-Kasım ayları arasında İskenderun yabancı balık türü sayısı ve buna bağlı olarak gelişen Körfezi’nin batı kısımlarının taban yapısının daha çok kumlu balıkçılık faaliyetleridir. Levantin Denizi göçmen türler çamurlu, doğu kısımlarının ise daha kayalık bir yapı gösterdiği açısından gün geçtikçe zenginleşmektedir. Bu nedenle bölgede bilinmektedir. yapılan bilimsel çalışmalar da çok önemli bir rol Mersin Körfezi ise, barındırdığı demersal ve pelajik balık oynamaktadır. türü zenginliği açısından Akdeniz’de bulunan körfezler Somot ve ark. [13] Akdeniz için yaptıkları araştırmada içerisinde en önemli balıkçılık sahalarından birisini 2100 yılında Akdeniz’in su sıcaklığının artışını dip kısmında oluşturmaktadır. Büyük bir kısmı çamurlu-kumlu zemin +1,5 °C yüzeyde ise +3,1 °C olarak tahmin etmektedirler. Bu yapısına sahip olan bu körfeze akan başta Seyhan, Berdan, sonuçlara göre de Kızıldeniz kökenli türlerin Akdeniz’i daha Göksu nehirleri ile Deliçay, Müftü, Tece, Lamas, Kargıcak da işgal edebileceklerini belirtmektedirler. Avşar [14] dereleri olmak üzere diğer birçok akarsu bol nutrient taşımakta sıcaklığın yanında tuzluluğunda önemli bir rol oynadığını böylece sucul organizmalara büyüme, gelişme ve üreme Suveyş kanalı ile doğu Akdeniz’in tuzluluk değerlerinin açısından uygun bir ortam sağlamaktadır [9]. birbirine oldukça yakın olduğunu

GILL1,2 1Macleay Museum and School of Biological Sciences, A12 - Macleay Building, The University of Sydney, New South Wales 2006, Australia. E-mail: [email protected] 2Ichthyology, Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney, New South Wales 2010, Australia The presence or absence of teeth on the vomer and palatoquadrate bones has a long history in fish systematics. Dentition of these bones is often consistent across families, and is often included in keys to families and family diagnoses. The angelfish family Pomacanthidae has been almost consistently diagnosed as lacking both vomerine and palatine teeth (e.g., Günther 1860; Day 1875; Jordan & Fowler 1902; Herre & Montalban 1927; Fowler & Bean 1929; Pyle 2001, 2003; McEachran & Fechhelm 2005); the only exceptions I am aware of are Munro (1967) and Jones and Kumeran (1980) who note that vomerine teeth may be present or absent in pomacanthids, Blum (1988) who alludes to vomerine teeth being present in the family, and Lindberg and Krasyukova (1971) who note that weak vomerine teeth may be present in species of Chaetodontoplus Bleeker. I am aware of no accounts that mention palatine teeth in pomacanthids. During a survey of pomacanthid skeletal preparations for a study of relationships of pomacanthids to other fishes (Gill & Leis in prep.), I noticed that species of the genus Pomacanthus Lacepède, type genus of the family, consistently have a narrow band of villiform teeth on the vomer and a small patch of villiform teeth on the anterior part of the palatines (Figure 1).

Abstract: Fish species introduction into the Mediterranean Sea is constantly increasing, and this is Article history: Received 27 November 2019 what worries biologists especially after the arrival of poisonous species. In this paper, Synanceia Accepted 24 December 2019 verrucosa is recorded for the first time in the Syrian marine waters, filling the gap of its distributions Available online 25 December 2019 between north and south of the eastern Mediterranean. Keywords: Synanceiidae, Synanceia verrucosa, Mediterranean, Syrian marine waters. Introduction boat (9.5 m, 19HP). The specimen was identified Synanceiidae family (Stonefishes) has nine genera and according to Carpenter and Niem (1999), and the 36 species (Carpenter and Niem, 1999; Carpenter and morphometric measurements (length to the nearest De Angelis, 2016) characterizing by its warty skin and mm, weight to the nearest g) and meristic counts were frightening shape. The stonefish of Synanceia recorded. The specimen was then photographed, verrucosa has a deadly poison in the bases of the fin preserved into 7% formaldehyde, and placed at the spines and capable of burying itself in the sand to Biological Laboratory of the High Institute of Marine camouflage and grab prey.

Doğdu1, Serpil Karan1 1Molecular Ecology and Fisheries Genetics Laboratory, Marine Science Department, Faculty of Marine Science and Technology, Iskenderun Technical University, 31220 Iskenderun, Hatay, Turkey 2Fisheries Faculty, Firat University, 23119 Elazig, Turkey Abstract A checklist of non-indigenous marine fishes including bony, cartilaginous and jawless distributed along the Turkish Marine Waters was for the first time generated in the present study. The number of records of non-indigenous fish species found in Turkish marine waters were 101 of which 89 bony, 11 cartilaginous and 1 jawless. In terms of occurrence of non-indigenous fish species in the surrounding Turkish marine waters, the Mediterranean coast has the highest diversity (92 species), followed by the Aegean Sea (50 species), the Marmara Sea (11 species) and the Black Sea (2 species). The Indo-Pacific origin of the non-indigenous fish species is represented with 73 species while the Atlantic origin of the non-indigenous species is represented with 22 species. Only first occurrence of a species in the Mediterranean, Aegean, Marmara and Black Sea Coasts of Turkey is given with its literature in the list. Keywords: Checklist, non-indigenous fishes, Turkish Marien Waters Article history: Received 14 August 2018, Accepted 08 October 2018, Available online 10 October 2018 Introduction Fishes are the most primitive members of the subphylum Craniata, constituting more than half of the living vertebrate species. There is a relatively rich biota in the Mediterranean Sea although it covers less than 1% of the global ocean surface.
