Gümüşhane ve Erzincan ilinde gökkuşağı alabalığı (Oncorhynchus mykiss W., 1792) üretimi son yıllarda hızlı bir artış kaydetmiştir. Gümüşhane ilinde 1994 yılında 15 ton olan gökkuşağı alabalığı üretimi 2009 yılında 1.898 tona, Erzincan ilinde ise 1994 yılında 4 ton olan üretim 2009 yılında 725 tona yükselmiştir. Bu artışta en büyük etken baraj göllerinde de balık yetiştiriciliği yapılmaya başlanması olmuştur. Önümüzdeki yıllarda devreye girecek yeni barajlar ve göletler nedeniyle gökkuşağı alabalığı yetiştiriciliği daha da artacaktır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Su ürünleri yetiştiriciliği, su kaynakları, Gümüşhane, Erzincan ABSTRACT: This study, investigated the water resources, current situation of aquaculture production and its potential growth in Gumüşhane and Erzincan provinces. Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss W., 1792) production in the province of Gümüşhane and Erzincan has made a rapid rise in recent years. Rainbow trout production recorded as 15 tons in Gümüşhane and 4 tons in Erzincan in 1994, has reached 1.898 tons in Gümüşhane and 725 tons in Erzincan provinces respectively in 2009. The most important factor in this increase was the initiation of the use of dams for fish farming. In coming years the use of new dams and reservoirs will take effect and rainbow trout production will be further increased.

  • Kemaliye (Erzincan) Case
    Pak. J. Bot., 42(2): 711-719, 2010. THE CURRENT SITUATION OF THREATENED ENDEMIC FLORA IN TURKEY: KEMALIYE (ERZİNCAN) CASE ZÖHRE BULUT* AND HASAN YILMAZ Department of Landscape Architecture, Faculty of Agriculture, Adnan Menderes University, South Campus, Aydın, Turkey *Corresponding author: E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The flora in Turkey is an outstanding one in terms of its biodiversity and the variety of endemic plant species. In this study, efforts have been made to determine the current situation of Turkey in general and local region (Kemaliye), being rich for endemic plants, based on International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Sources (IUCN) in order to present abundancy of endemic plants in Turkey and conditions in which endemic plant have been threatened. Of 3504 endemic plants in Turkey, 12 are known to have been extinct and 3492 (99 %) are still being threatened. Of 61 endemic plants in Kemaliye region, 5 is known to have been extinct and 54 (88%) to be threatened. This study provides some suggestions about conservation and management of such plants by considering their threatened categories. Introduction Biological diversity consists of three hierarchical categories viz., gene, species and ecosystem. Species diversity implies the diversity of species in a certain region or all over the world (Anon., 2001). According to Hunter (1996), biodiversity consists of five components: 1) genetic, 2) species, 3) community, 4) landscape and 5) process or function (Kaya & Raynal, 2001). The fact that a plant grows only in a certain local area is defined as endemism. In other words, plants which can grow only in a specific and limited region on the earth’s surface are called endemic plants.

Giresun University, Alucra Turan Bulutçu Vocational School, Giresun 28700, Turkey 2. Karadeniz Technical University, Department of Biology, Trabzon 61080, Turkey Abstract: 20 localities were randomly selected in Eastern Black Sea Region of Turkey and samples were collected from around the beehives from April to September. Total of 4,640 dead adult worker bees were examined during the study. Total infection rate in worker bees was 21.23%. Nosema ceranae was identified in all localities with molecular techniques. Temperature and humidity values were measured from around the beehives during field studies. The infection rate of N. ceranae increased proportionally with increasing temperature and humidity factors. Humidity was more effective than temperature on the infection rate of N. ceranae. The seasonal activity of N. ceranae was studied. The highest infection rates were observed in June and July. N. ceranae infection rate was higher in localities that were in low-altitude than in localities that were in high-altitude. Key words: Temperature, humidity, geographical distribution, Nosema ceranae, Apis mellifera, Turkey. 1. Introduction approximately 50% in terms of honey production in Turkey [2, 3]. There are few studies about the Apis mellifera is economically the most important Nosemosis disease in Turkey. Especially, there are no bee for beekeeping in the world wide [1].

Although the intensity of the efforts varied greatly, place name change would continue through the end of the Ottoman Empire and on into the Republic of Turkey. By 1968, when a volume containing all the changes was published by the Interior Ministry, roughly thirty percent of settlement names in Turkey had been changed. Renaming continued sporadically until the 1990s. This thesis inquires into these attempts at name change in Turkey with a focus on how people responded to the changes in their everyday lives. The value of place names as formulated in human and cultural geography is explored in order to determine why people may have rejected or accepted the state imposed names. Place name change, rather than being approached solely as a nation-building project motivated by Turkification, is also considered as being a technique of governmentality.

  • The Turkish Province from an English Diplomat's Viewpoint 70 Years
    ISSN 2411-9563 (Print) European Journal of Social Sciences January-April 2017 ISSN 2312-8429 (Online) Education and Research Volume 4, Issue 1 The Turkish Province from an English Diplomat’s Viewpoint 70 Years Ago Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ali Satan Assist. Prof. Dr. Meral Balcı Abstract In 1947, a British diplomat conducted a visit to the places travelled rarely by local and foreign travelers, The Black Sea Coast between Samsun and Giresun in the North, the Malatya-Erzincan train line in the South, the Sivas- Erzurum train route in the West, Erzincan-Şebinkarahisar- Giresun in the East, and reported what he saw to London. In secret report, there provided military, political, ethnographic and historical information. In rapidly changing life conditions in the world, this secret report, which was written seventy years ago, set us on a historical journey. In the year, which the secret report was written, Turkey preferred being part of Western bloc in newly established bipolar international system and British diplomats were trying to understand how Britain and the Soviet Union were looked at in the regions they visited. In the secret report, there were also striking observations regarding the activities of the newly formed opposition party (Democratic Party) in Anatolia, the distance between the Turkish elites and the Anatolian villagers, and the military-civilian relationship in Anatolia. Keywords: World War II, province, rural, English diplomats, Middle and East of Turkey INTRODUCTION After the Second World War, Turkey preferred being part of Western bloc in bipolar international system. In the days when Turkey made transition from single party to multiparty political system, Turkey established close relations with United States and United Kingdom.

THIS IS NOT A FESTIVAL. TRANSHUMANCE-BASED ECONOMIES ON TURKEY'S UPLAND PASTURES Nicolas Elias (Translated by Saskia Brown) ABSTRACT This article sets out to study how an instituted practice of pastoral societies has evolved under the industrialised, capitalist Turkey of the last decade. In the Pontic Mountains, in north-eastern Turkey, the celebrations that take place every summer on the upland pastures are some of the most eagerly-awaited events. Until recently they were related to pastoralism and transhumance. But, although pastoralism has collapsed, the number and popularity of these events is growing yearly. When the ethnographic study of the most famous of them (Kadirga) is related to recent social transformations in Turkey (migration, development of the culture industry, urbanisation, etc.), it becomes clear how such celebrations are instrumentalised by the new political economy.

  • Effects of Branch Number on Quality Traits and Yield Properties of European Hazelnut (Corylus Avellana L.)
    agriculture Article Effects of Branch Number on Quality Traits and Yield Properties of European Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) Tuba Bak 1 and Turan Karadeniz 2,* 1 Crop and Animal Production Department, Mudurnu Süreyya Astarcı Vocational School, Bolu Abant Izzet˙ Baysal University, Mudurnu, Bolu 14800, Turkey; [email protected] 2 Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Bolu Abant Izzet˙ Baysal University, Bolu 14030, Turkey * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +90-530-203-88-66 Abstract: Despite being the world leader in the production of hazelnuts, Turkey’s nut yield per hectare is quite behind other producer countries. The main reasons for low yield are the completion of the economic life of hazelnut orchards and the lack of pruning following the technique. Hazelnuts are being grown with the ‘ocak’ system in Turkey. The ocak system is a bush-like growing technique that does not contain the main trunk but consists of shoots instead. It is necessary to maintain the optimum number of shoots per ocak to increase yield and quality in this system. The effects of different branch numbers on yield and fruit quality parameters of ‘Tombul’ and ‘Palaz’ hazelnut cultivars were investigated in Ordu ecological conditions. ‘Palaz’ had the highest yield per ocak in 8 branches (1460.19 g), while ‘Tombul’ had in the 5 branched ocak (2170.47 g). ‘Palaz’ and ‘Tombul’ had the highest fruit weights in 4 and 4–6 branches, respectively. The highest oil ratio of ‘Palaz’ was observed in 4 branches, while ‘Tombul’ had the highest in 5 branches. The highest kernel ratio was determined in 6 and 5 branches in ‘Palaz’ and ‘Tombul’, respectively.

  • Additional Lichen Records from Giresun Province, Turkey
    MYCOTAXON Volume 109, pp. 137–140 July–September 2009 Additional lichen records from Giresun Province, Turkey Kadir Kınalıoğlu [email protected] Giresun University, Faculty of Science and Arts, Department of Biology Giresun, Turkey Abstract – A total of 299 lichen taxa are presented from 52 sampling stations in the Turkish province of Giresun. Of these 5 species are new to Turkey, viz. Biatora cuprea, Collema dichotomum, Gyalecta foveolaris, Umbilicaria virginis and Verrucaria fusconigrescens, and 110 species are new to Giresun. The complete checklist is available on http://www.mycotaxon.com/resources/weblists.html. Key words – biota, biodiversity, Karagöl Mountains Introduction Despite intense lichenological field activity in Turkey in recent years, many areas remain poorly known with respect to their lichen biota. As to Giresun province, until now 14 research articles on its lichen biota have been published (Aslan et al. 2002, Aslan & Yazıcı 2006, Duman & Yurdakulol 2007, Halıcı & Şenkardeşler 2009, John & Breuss 2004, Kınalıoğlu 2005, 2006, 2008, Kınalıoğlu & Engin 2004, Küçük 1990, Özgen et al. 2003, Steiner 1909, Süleyman et al. 2002, Yazıcı 2006, Yazici & Aptroot 2008). However, these studies still do not give an adequate picture of the lichen biota of Giresun as new fieldwork by the author has shown. This provided many additions to our knowledge of the lichens of Giresun and Turkey, which are presented below. The study area Giresun is located in the eastern part of the Black Sea region of Turkey (Fig. 1), at the boundary of the Euxianian section of the Euro-Siberian Phytogeographical Region. It is situated between 40°07’ 41°08’ N and 37°50’ 39°12’ E at altitudes ranging from sea level to 3331 m.
