dc.description.abstractThe first comprehensive meiobenthos study was carried out in Turkey, the Southern Black Sea (Sinop) from August 2009 to July 2010. Sediment samples were collected monthly at eight stations at 3 m and 10 m water depths located on four transects. A metal push core sampler (surface area 12.56 cm(2) and length 10 cm) was used to obtain the material. Meiofaunal abundance and composition were examined. The results revealed that the meiofaunal community consists of twenty five higher taxonomic groups. Four groups dominated the community: Nematoda, Harpacticoida, Foraminifera and Polychaeta. Spatial and temporal meiofaunal abundance fluctuated among stations and over time.

dc.description.sponsorshipThis work is part of a comprehensive joint project financially supported by TUBITAK (the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) and NASU (the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine) (Project No. 108Y340) on the meiofauna of Sevastopol (Crimea) and Sinop (Turkey) Bays. Authors are thankful to Prof. Dr. Nelli G. Sergeeva and Dr. Elena Kolesnikova for their guidance through laboratory procedures during our first steps of the study of meiobenthos. Dr. Oylum Gokkurt Baki is also acknowledged for the analysis of environmental parameters within the scope of the project.
