Some Biological Properties of Carp (Cyprinus Carpio L., 1758) Introduced Into Damsa Dam Lake, Cappadocia Region, Turkey
Pakistan J. Zool., vol. 46(2), pp. 337-346, 2014. Some Biological Properties of Carp (Cyprinus carpio L., 1758) Introduced into Damsa Dam Lake, Cappadocia Region, Turkey Ramazan Mert¹* and Sait Bulut² ¹Department of Biology, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Nevsehir Hacı Bektaş Veli University, Nevsehir, Turkey. 2Department of Science Education, Faculty of Education, Akdeniz University, Antalya, Turkey. Abstract.- Age composition, length–weight relationships, growth, and condition factors of the carp (Cyprinus carpio L.,1758) were determined using specimens (39.38% female and 60.62% male) collected from Damsa Dam Lake between May 2010 and April 2011. The age composition of the samples was from I to VIII. The length–weight relationship was calculated as W = 0.0181 TL 2.9689 for females and W = 0.0278 TL 2.8507 for males. The total lengths were between 17.1 and 69.2 cm, and the total weights were found to be between 86 and 5473 g. The majority of the individuals (48.12%) were between 46.0 and 55.0 cm length groups. The von Bertalanffy growth equation were found as L∞ = 86.80 cm, K = 0.189, t0 = -0.396 for females and L∞ = 85.34 cm, K = 0.175, t0 = -0.468 for males. The growth performance index was also estimated as Ф′ = 7.260 for females and Ф′ = 7.151 for males. The mean condition factor was found as 1.582 for females and 1.572 for males. The total mortality (Z) was calculated as 0.25 yıl-1. Keywords: Carp, Cyprinus carpio, age composition, condition factor, Damsa Dam Lake. -

Email: [email protected] Received May 3rd, 2013; revised June 5th, 2013; accepted July 8th, 2013 Copyright © 2013 Aslıhan Katip, Feza Karaer.

ABSTRACT Lake Uluabat, having an international significance and subject to the Ramsar Convention, is fed by the basin of Musta- fakemalpaşa Stream which runs through fertile lands utilized for livestock breeding and agriculture. In this study, total amount of nitrogen (TN) and phosphorus (TP) loads of non-point pollutants (agriculture, livestock breeding, vegetation, surface runoff and small settlements) was calculated. It was found out that most intensive pollution load stemmed from livestock breeding which causes dispersion of 13653.57 tons·year−1 of TN and 3224.45 tons·year−1 of TP into the Lake Uluabat. Additionally, seasonal changes in concentration of TN and TP were observed during the period of 2008-2009 in Lake Uluabat. It was concluded that the rise of agricultural activities in summer months was the reason underlying the increase in pollution during the months in question.

E- mails: [email protected] and [email protected] [Özdikmen, H. 2010. The Turkish Dorcadiini with zoogeographical remarks (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae). Munis Entomology & Zoology, 5 (2): 380-498] ABSTRACT: All taxa of the tribe Dorcadiini Latreille, 1825 in Turkey are evaluated and summarized with zoogeographical remarks. Also Dorcadion praetermissum mikhaili ssp. n. is described in the text. KEY WORDS: Dorcadion, Neodorcadion, Dorcadiini, Lamiinae, Cerambycidae, Coleoptera, Turkey. The main aim of this work is to clarify current status of the tribe Dorcadiini in Turkey. The work on Turkish Dorcadiini means to realize a study on about one third or one fourth of Turkish Cerambycidae fauna. As the same way, Turkish Dorcadiini is almost one second or one third of Dorcadiini in the whole world fauna. Turkish Dorcadiini is a very important group. This importance originated from their high endemism rate, and also their number of species. However, the information on all Turkish Dorcadiini is not enough. The first large work on Dorcadiini species was carried out by Ganglbauer (1884). He evaluated a total of 152 species of the genus Dorcadion and 13 species of the genus Neodorcadion. He gave 30 Dorcadion species and 4 Neodorcadion species for Turkey. Then, the number of Turkish Dorcadion species raised to 53 with 23 described species by Heyden (1894), Ganglbauer (1897), Jakovlev (1899), Daniel (1900, 1901), Pic (1895, 1900, 1901, 1902, 1905, 1931), Suvorov (1915), Plavilstshikov (1958). -

Onsekizmart University, Canakkale, Turkiye e-mail: [email protected] 2Department of Freshwater Biology, Fisheries Faculty, Mugla University, 48100, Mugla, Turkiye e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Turkey has, with geographic location including Istanbul and Çanakkale straits the system, 178,000 km in length streams, 906,000 ha of natural lakes, and 411,800 ha of dam lakes, and 28,000 ha of ponds due to richness inland waters which include freshwater fish. The fingerling fish (fry) were restocked approximately 250,000,000 in natural lakes, dam lakes and ponds for fisheries between years of 1979 and 2005. Canakkale has rich freshwater potential with 7 major rivers (Büyükdere, Karamenderes stream, Kavak brook, Kocacay stream, Sarıcay stream, Tuzla brook, Umurbey brook), 7 Dam Lakes (Atikhisar, Zeytinlikoy, Bayramic, Bakacak, Tayfur, Umurbey and Yenice-Gönen Dam lakes). In the studies, it has been determined that 15 fish species belonging to 6 families (Anguillidae, Atherinidae, Salmonidae, Cobitidae, Cyprinidae and Poecilidae) can be found in reservoirs. Fish restocking of the activities of the reservoir until today approximately 1,120,000 (Cyprinus carpio L., 1758) is introduced. In this study, the activity of Canakkale province in the fish restocking and reservoir exploiting possibilities were discussed in view of reservoir fisheries potential which is used insufficiently today. Keywords: Fish fauna, Dardanelles, Freshwater fish, Canakkale, Restocking Introduction Addition to being surrounded by Black Sea, Aegean Sea and Mediterranean Sea Turkey has a great freshwater potential with 178,000 km long streams and 906,000 ha natural lakes, 439,800 ha dam lakes and pond areas. -

A Critical Review of the Anatolian Geology: a Dialectic to Sutures and Evolution of the Anatolian Tethys and Neotethys
Mineral Res. Exp., Bull., 133, 1-29, 2006 A CRITICAL REVIEW OF THE ANATOLIAN GEOLOGY: A DIALECTIC TO SUTURES AND EVOLUTION OF THE ANATOLIAN TETHYS AND NEOTETHYS Metin ÞENGÜN* ABSTRACT.- A progressively improving hypothesis of evolution for the Anatolian Tethys and Neotethys will be presented in this paper. The Tethyan, the Western (Bursa-Ýzmir-Antalya zone) and the southern Neotethyan sutures will be substantiated after a discussion on the controversial aspects of the Anatolian geology. The initia- tion of the Tethys in Cambrian is supported on the basis of continous Palaeozoic sedimentation on north-facing Gondwanian and south-facing Eurasian platforms. A thin continental sliver, the Apula-Anatolia, started to rift off northern Gondwana in the Early Triassic coevally with the onset of the northward Tethyan subduction. The mar- ginal ophiolites have obducted onto the Pontian active margin by the Middle Triassic as the consequence of the dextral rotation of Western Pontides. The compressional and dilatational fields have shifted oceanward due to a recess (?) of the subduction zone. The positive area covering most of the central and northern Sakarya has col- lapsed progressively and has been onlapped peripherically from the Liassic onwards. The Anatolian microconti- nent detached off Africa in the Upper Triassic-Liassic and drifted northward during the Jurassic and the Cretaceous and collided incipiently with the Eurasian margin (Pontides) in the Upper Cretaceous. Unsubducted pockets of ocean floor have closed with consequent syn-collisional magmas in the Paleogene. The Salt Lake pocket, the East Anatolia and the Western Neotethys, the Intra-Gondwanian rift separating the Anatolia from Apulia-Greece, have survived until the Late Miocene. -
