    Fishes Encountered in the Turkish Thrace River Systems (NW Turkey)
    (Maik Nauka/Interperiodica/Springer, 2023) Ozulug, Muefit; Gaygusuz, Ozcan; Gaygusuz, Cigdem Gursoy; Kaya, Nilgun; Sac, Gulsah
    In the last 30 years, the natural life in the inland waters of the Turkish Thrace has been threatened by water pollution, deterioration of river continuity, the presence of non-native or invasive fish, and drought. The aim of the present study is to determine the recent status of fish fauna in the river systems lying at the Turkish Thrace, under these threats. The field surveys were conducted in a total of 164 sampling sites in both Marmara and Meric-Ergene water basins between July and August 2017. A total of 36 freshwater fish species representing 12 families (Acheilognathidae, Atherinidae, Centrarchidae, Cobitidae, Cyprinidae, Esocidae, Gobiidae, Gobionidae, Leuciscidae, Percidae, Poeciliidae, and Salmonidae) were determined. The most widespread species of the region was Cobitis strumicae and it was followed by Rhodeus amarus and Squalius orpheus. This study provides first detailed information on the distribution of the species of Barbus tauricus, Chondrostoma vardarense, Cobitis strumicae, Squalius orpheus, and Vimba melanops.

    Freshwater ecosystems have a greater value for biodiversity per surface area than terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Streams and lakes are notably prone to biodiversity loss, being the greatest threats habitat destructions and nonnative species. The aim of the present study is to assess the fish composition of lotic and lentic water systems of an island ecosystem (Gokceada Island, Turkey), which is poorly studied, and to highlight the entry routes and possible impacts of translocated fish species in an island ecosystem. The field surveys were conducted in a total of 14 sampling sites (five reservoirs and nine streams) in the inland waters of Gokceada Island between September 2019 and January 2021. Fish samples were collected by electrofishing (SAMUS 1000; a backpack electro-shocker). A total of eight fish species belonging to six families (Anguillidae, Atherinidae, Cyprinidae, Leuciscidae, Mugilidae, and Poeciliidae) were determined. As a result fish community of the island was mostly composed by the introduced species Carassius gibelio, Gambusia holbrooki and Pseudorasbora parva. This study provides the first detailed information on the distribution of the fish species encountered in the inland waters of Gokceada Island. Results showed that the fish fauna of the island was predominantly shaped by fish stocking activities.

    Length-weight relationship of seven freshwater fish species from Turkish Thrace
    (Wiley, 2019) Sac, Gulsah; Gaygusuz, Ozcan; Gaygusuz, Cigdem Gursoy; Ozulug, Mufit
    The length-weight relationships (LWRs) of Alburnus istanbulensis Battalgil, 1941, Barbus tauricus Kessler, 1877, Cobitis pontica Vasil'eva & Vasil'ev, 2006, Cobitis strumicae Karaman, 1955, Gobio bulgaricus Drensky, 1926, Phoxinus strandjae Drensky, 1926 and Squalius orpheus Kottelat & Economidis, 2006 were analysed. Fish samples were collected by electroshocker (SAMUS 725 G and SAMUS 725 M portable electroshockers; frequency 50-55 Hz; 30-70 cm fishing depth) in some water bodies in Turkish Thrace from March 2012 to August 2017. The values of parameter b in the LWR equations varied from 2.916 (B. tauricus) to 3.336 (P. strandjae). This study also provides a new maximum length data for A. istanbulensis, G. bulgaricus, P. strandjae and S. orpheus.

    New Distribution Areas of Four Invasive Freshwater Fish Species from Turkish Thrace
    (Central Fisheries Research Inst, 2019) Ozulug, Mufit; Gaygusuz, Ozcan; Gaygusuz, Cigdem Gursoy; Sac, Gulsah
    In order to be able to assess the impact of invasive fish on native species and ecosystems, it is important to know their existing distribution areas. The Meric River, which is fed by some other rivers from Greece and Bulgaria, is the 'open door' where invasive species enter Turkish inland waters through European part of Turkey. Due to this need, it was aimed to determine the new distribution areas of invasive C. gibelio, L. gibbosus, P. parva and G. holbrooki in Turkish Thrace. The field surveys were conducted in a total of 135 stations in Marmara and Meric-Ergene basins. Carassiusgibelio and G. holbrooki were the species that expanded their distribution range the most; C. gibelio was captured from 24 stations and it was recorded as new to 15 localities while G. holbrookiwas captured from 17 stations and it was recorded as new to 15 localities. Lepomisgibbosuswas collected from Rezve and Sultanbahce streams in Marmara Basin and it was recorded as new to these localities. Pseudorasboraparvawas collected from 10 stations and it was recorded as new to 9 localities.
