PREFACE International Workshop On Black Sea Benthos, 18–23 April 2004, Istanbul-Turkey THE BENTHOS OF THE OXIC/ANOXIC INTERFACE IN THE WESTERN BLACK SEA: COMPARATIVE MACRO- AND MEIOFAUNA INVESTIGATIONS ON TRANSECTS FROM THE UKRAINIAN, ROMANIAN AND TURKISH SHELF Ulf LUTH Institut für Hydrobiologie und Fischereiwissenschaft, Universität Hamburg Keywords: Black Sea, Macrofauna, Meiofauna, Oxic/Anoxic Interface, Cluster Analysis ABSTRACT Results of benthic investigations including size classes from meiofauna to larger macrofauna from six transects in the western Black Sea are presented. Transects covered the depth interval from 50m to 250m depth including benthic environments from the shelf, the shelf edge and the upper slope. Special interest was set on taxonomic composition and distribution patterns of benthic communities inhabiting the depth zone where the oxic/anoxic interface meets the sea floor. The existence of a highly dynamic O2/H2S-transition zone on the sea floor is postulated being characterized by varying oxygen and/or hydrogen sulphide contents in the near bottom water. Besides variations in water conditions benthic communities from the shelf edge or upper slope also have to cope with instability of sediments induced by resuspension of sediments, turbidity currents or methane seeps. Shelf environments on the north-western shelf showed signs of strong eutrophication but also some indications for a restoration of benthic communities in recent years. Below a depth of 130m hardly any larger macrofauna was present similar to other investigations from the 1980’s. However, on most transects around 150m depth a densely populated benthic community of smaller size classes dominated by nematodes and oligochaetes, sometimes also with polychaetes and harpacticoids present, was found. From the upper anoxic zone around 190m mostly only few nematodes were obtained. INTRODUCTION The depth of the oxic/anoxic interface throughout the basin is largely determined by the meandering cyclonic rim current, which is, besides the meromictic water stratification itself, the dominating hydrographic feature of the almost totally enclosed Black Sea (SKOPINTSEV 1975; for detailed descriptions of the north-western Black Sea hydrography see TOLMAZIN 1985, and AUBREY et 2 al. 1996). The highly dynamic interface zone meets the seafloor at depths between 130m and 180m exerting major influences on the hydrochemical and biogeochemical conditions as well as the distribution of the benthic fauna of lower shelf and upper slope environments (LUTH & LUTH 1997). Interface dynamics have been the focus of a manifold of investigations (BLATOV et al. 1984, FASHCHUK & AYZATULIN 1986, BEZBORODOV et al. 1988, HONJO & HAY 1988, MURRAY et al. 1989, FASHCHUK et al. 1990, KEMPE et al. 1990, review by VINOGRADOV 1991, BEZBORODOV 1990, SAYDAM et al. 1993, BUESSELER et al. 1994, JONES & GAGNON 1994) but were restricted mainly to open water conditions far away from the shelf. Today the oxic/anoxic interface of the Black Sea is amongst the best known boundaries in marine science when the fields of hydrophysics, hydro-chemistry, marine microbiology and plankton research are concerned. Remarkably, the lower shelf and upper slope regions where the interface meets the seafloor received little to no attention. Especially, the dynamics of near bottom water conditions and benthic response remained beyond the focus of marine science. Traditionally benthic biology focussed on the vertical zonation of biocoenoses and the comparative investigation of the lower limits of benthic life in different regions and over time (CASPERS 1957, ZENKEVICH 1963, BACESCU et al 1971, KISELEVA 1981, ZAIKA et al. 1992) but mainly lacked detailed documentation of habitats and living conditions. Furthermore, most recent investigations on Black Sea benthos were either predominantly restricted to near shore areas (e.g. compiled in ZENETOS et al. 2000 for Ukrainian, Bulgarian, and Russian coast, STOYKOV & UZUNOVA 2001, Bulgarian coast and shelf) and/or larger size classes i.e. the macrobenthos (GOMOIU 1985, Romanian shelf) or single macrobenthic groups (e.g. MUTLU et al. 1992, MUTLU 1994, Turkish shelf, TERESHCHENKO et al. 1993, Ukrainian and Bulgarian shelf). The history of meiofauna investigation in the Black Sea (reviewed by SERGEEVA & KOLESNIKOVA 1996) demonstrates that numerous investigations on meiofauna of shallow waters have been conducted and many species, new to the Black Sea, have been described. Additionally, for example even for deeper benthic coenoses like the Modiolus phaseolinus coenosis certain assemblages of meiobenthic nematodes have been recognized (SERGEEVA, 1976). However, ZAIKA (1998) stressed the fact that former benthic investigations in deeper waters were generally conducted with bottom grabs which do not allow quantitative investigations of the smaller size classes like the temporary or larger meiofauna and ordinary meiofauna. Therefore, the knowledge on distribution patterns of these size classes across the oxic/anoxic interface zone throughout the Black Sea is still poor. 3 Linking Black Sea hydrography and benthos-The oxic/anoxic interface meets the sea floor: This work presents in part the results of a new approach trying to combine recent knowledge in Black Sea oceanography with benthic biology. The focus of this paper is set on the comparison of faunal distribution across the oxic/anoxic interface in three regions of the western Black Sea (Figure 1). The description of habitats and living conditions including short-term dynamics of the oxic/anoxic interface zone in the different regions will be addressed in detail elsewhere. However, for a better understanding of the interface dynamics in lower shelf and upper slope environments and their consequences for the benthic communities a short introduction to the matter is given. The numerous reports of depth variations of the oxic/anoxic boundary in central regions of the Black Sea (see above) together with few similar observations of this phenomenon in near shelf areas (KEMPE et al. 1991, LUTH & LUTH 1997, LUTH et al. 1998) allow the conclusion that the oxic/anoxic boundary also moves up and down near, or back and forth onto the shelf. However, there is no information so far, about amplitude and frequency as well as possible rhythms of these depth variations. Figure 1: Working areas in the western Black Sea: IN = Inebolu transect, SG = St. Gheorghe transect, S I and S II = Sevastopol transects I and II, CO = Constanza transect, PZ = Portiza transect. 4 Accepting depth variations of the oxic/anoxic interface on the sea floor as a given natural phenomenon for the Black Sea then each region should be characterized by an individual, average interface depth. From this depth in direction to shallower depths, the probability of an oxic regime increases whereas below this depth anoxic, sulfidic conditions become more and more likely. The limits of such a postulated O2/H2S-transition

Stagno d’Al - contres 31, 98166 Messina, Italy; e-mail: [email protected] 2Via Bologna, 18/A, 87032 Amantea, Cosenza, Italy; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT First quantitative data on mollusc assemblages from the Capo d’Armi cliff, at the south en - trance of the Strait of Messina, provided a baseline for monitoring changes in benthic biod- iversity of a crucial Mediterranean area, whose depletion might already be advanced. A total of 133 benthic taxa have been recorded, and their distribution evaluated according to depth and seasonality. Bathymetric distribution showed scanty differences between the 4-6 meters and 12-16 meters depth levels, sharing all the 22 most abundant species. Season markedly affected species composition, since 42 taxa were exclusively recorded in spring and 35 in autumn, contrary to 56 shared taxa. The occurrence of some uncommon taxa has also been discussed. The benthic mollusc assemblages, although sampled in Ionian Sea, showed a clear western species composition, in accordance with literature placing east of the Strait the bound- ary line between western and eastern Mediterranean eco-regions. Opposite, occasional records of six mesopelagic species, which included the first record for this area of Atlanta helicinoi - dea

E-mail: [email protected] SUMMARY: The evolution of the molluscan biota in Sabaudia Lake (Italy, central Tyrrhenian Sea) in the last century is hereby traced on the basis of bibliography, museum type materials, and field samplings carried out from April 2009 to Sep- tember 2011. Biological assessments revealed clearly distinct phases, elucidating the definitive shift of this human-induced coastal lake from a freshwater to a marine-influenced lagoon ecosystem. Records of marine subfossil taxa suggest that previous accommodations to these environmental features have already occurred in the past, in agreement with historical evidence. Faunal and ecological insights are offered for its current malacofauna, and special emphasis is given to alien spe- cies. Within this framework, Mytilodonta Coen, 1936, Mytilodonta paulae Coen, 1936 and Rissoa paulae Coen in Brunelli and Cannicci, 1940 are also considered new synonyms of Mytilaster Monterosato, 1884, Mytilaster marioni (Locard, 1889) and Rissoa membranacea (J.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Bela Leach in Gray is a misapplied and broadly defined genus within the family Mangeliidae Fischer, 1883. Examination of material from the Montagu collection at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery (RAMM) in Exeter (UK) led to the discovery of six specimens of Murex nebula Montagu 1803 (the type species of Bela). This material is considered to belong to the original lot used by Montagu to define his species. We selected the best-preserved specimen as a lectotype.

For this purpose, the material collected from the area between the years 2005 and 2009, within the framework of different projects, was investigated. The investigation of the material taken from various biotopes ranging at depths between 0 and 100 m resulted in identification of 286 mollusc species and 27542 specimens belonging to them. Among the encountered species, Vitreolina cf. perminima (Jeffreys, 1883) is new record for the Turkish molluscan fauna and 18 species are being new records for the Turkish Levantine coast. A checklist of Iskenderun mollusc fauna is given based on the present study and the studies carried out beforehand, and a total of 424 moluscan species are known to be distributed in Iskenderun Bay.
