The SELECT method was applied to determine the selectivity. The best model for the selectivity of monofilament gillnets used in pearl mullet fishing was determined as the log-normal model. The optimum catch lengths of monofilament gillnets with 20, 22 and 24 mm mesh sizes were calculated as 21.69 cm, 23.84 cm and 26.01 cm, respectively. Catch per unit effort was determined as 10.03 kg/90 m/day at 20 mm, 15.91 kg/90 m/day at 22 mm and 12.99 kg/90 m/day at 24 mm. The average catch per unit effort was determined as 151 unit/90 m/day at 20 mm, 151 unit/90 m/day at 22 mm, and 110 unit/90 m/day at 24 mm. According to the results of optimum catch length and daily average catch per unit effort, using monofilament gillnets with 22 mm mesh size was more convenient for sustainable pearl mullet fishing in Lake Van.","PeriodicalId":11439,"journal":{"name":"Ege Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81358703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effect of this change in sea cucumber stocks in Türkiye started to be seen after the 2010s. To address it, we carried out a study to compare the population density of the most caught Holothuria tubulosa and Holothuria polii species between exploited and non-exploited areas in the Aegean Sea coast of Türkiye. The study was carried out between September 2018 and March 2020 at 4 stations, two of which are in Çandarlı Bay, where sea cucumber fishing is free, and two in İzmir Bay, where it is prohibited. Samplings between 0-20 m depths were carried out with underwater transect line technique, and at depths deeper than 20 m, with beam trawling operations. A total of 6 sea cucumber species were identified, including Holothuria mammata, Holothuria sanctori, Parastichopus regalis and Holothuria forskali species, apart from the target species H. tubulosa and H. polii. Only one P. regalis individual was recorded in the samplings in waters deeper than 20 m. The mean densities of H. tubulosa and H. polii were found to be higher in İzmir Bay stations than in Çandarlı Bay (p<0.05). The results of this study clearly reveal that the population density of sea cucumber in sampling areas has decreased tens of times compared to the last 5 years.","PeriodicalId":11439,"journal":{"name":"Ege Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84132311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pulatsü","doi":"10.12714/egejfas.39.4.11","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.12714/egejfas.39.4.11","url":null,"abstract":"Increases in aquaculture production due to higher demand for aquatic foods result in an increase in the amount of aquaculture wastewater. This situation highlights the need for the effective treatment of wastewater in sustainable aquaculture. Today, instead of traditional physical and chemical methods in the treatment of wastewater originating from aquaculture, ecosystem-sensitive and by-product-oriented systems have begun to be adopted. The main principle of the zero-waste approach is the recycling of the nutrients in the wastewater to produce another food. In this new innovative approach, the production of other organisms from the different trophic levels using the wastewater of aquaculture in the integrated multi-trophic systems (such as aquaponics) is possible to recycle the nutrients. It has been considered the integrated multi-trophic systems (IMTA) more valuable as these systems can be used both in environment-friendly wastewater treatment and in the conversion of nutrients in wastewater to biomass. The nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus in aquaculture wastewater can be utilized to produce two organisms (i.e. fish+mussel) or three organisms (i.e. fish+mussel+seaweed) through IMTA. Aquaculture wastewater can be used to reduce the nutrients in constructed wetlands and plant lagoons representing the reasonable approach for sustainable aquaculture and wastewater treatment. \u0000Here, the innovative approach to sustainable aquaculture wastewater treatment was reviewed for the current and innovative technologies. It was emphasized that the need for environment-friendly wastewater treatment Technologies such as aquaponics, enlargement of constructed wetlands, or increase in using the integrated multi-trophic production systems (IMTA) in practice are recommended for sustainable aquaculture.","PeriodicalId":11439,"journal":{"name":"Ege Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83798990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the experiments, treatment groups, such as initial dye Methylene Blue (MB) concentration (0.1-10.0 mg L-1), contact time (5 to 1440 min) and adsorbent dosage (0.1-2 g) were applied. Scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray, and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy were used to analyze the adsorbent. T. barbata was found to be quite successful in removing dye (69% -100%) for all experiments, and the qe values increased with the increased the initial dye concentration. Very rapid dye removal was detected during the first contact time, especially up to 15 min. Isotherms, kinetics, and regression models were applied to the batch experimental results.

The marination ratios and times were as follows: (10:90; 90:10; 50:50; 100:100/100 g squid ring) and (1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h), respectively. The effects of marination ratios and times on the microbiological and sensory changes of the cooked squid rings were observed at 4°C. Pathogenic bacteria (Vibrio spp., Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli) were not found in the cooked (C) and cooked marinated (CM) squid rings in the present study. The TMC (total mesophilic aerobic bacteria counts) of all groups were determined as consumable at 72 h, whereas the TMC of C and CM samples (C7, CM7, CM14, CM21, CM28) increased to 5.92, 5.83, 5.71, 5.57 and 5.42 log cfu/g, respectively. Regression models were created to estimate the TMC and lactic acid bacteria count (LBC) of cooked squid rings during the marination process at 4°C to determine the increasing rates of bacterial growth of samples. As a result of this study; when compared with Model I and Model II; both of them can be preferred for predicting the TMC of C and CM samples. The variability in the TMC of C and CM squid samples was obtained as 93% in Model I, whereas the variability in the TMC of these samples was observed as 91% in Model II. So, these two models performed well, and they can be used for predicting the TMC of C and CM samples. Additionally, Model III was also developed for estimating the prediction value of LBC of cooked squid samples during the marination process at 4°C. This model was also determined very good performance (86%) to estimate the predicting values of LBC and it can be very essential together used with Model I or Model II for marinated fishery products to estimate the real shelf-life.","PeriodicalId":11439,"journal":{"name":"Ege Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91501601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this process, changes in meteorological events such as temperature, precipitation, and wind, attract attention moreover but when considered as a whole, we know that these negative changes in the ecosystem negatively affect many living groups. Sea Surface Temperature (SST) as measured meteorologically is the most important environmental parameter where these changes are monitored and observed. It draws attention to the fact that changes in SST are not limited to living organisms as habitats, but also catalyze many chain reactions, especially socio-economic impacts. Therefore, much of the work is devoted to forecasting studies to adapt to changing habitats and take the necessary precautions against potential risks. Feed-forward artificial neural networks have been commonly used to address these emerging needs. Artificial neural networks, which are a simple imitation of the human neurological system, have been used as an artificial intelligence method in forecasting problems due to their superior performance and not having the limitations of classical time series. In this study, the forecasting of the time series of monthly mean SST temperature obtained from Rize station between the years 2010 and 2020 is performed by using feed-forward artificial neural networks, and the forecasting performance of the corresponding time series is compared with many forecasting methods with different characteristics. The comparison of the methods used the mean square error and mean absolute percentage error criteria, which are commonly used in the forecasting literature. The analysis results showed that the analysis results obtained with the feed-forward artificial neural networks have the best prediction performance. As a result, it can be stated that the sea surface temperature can be forecasted with a very high accuracy using the feed-forward artificial neural networks.","PeriodicalId":11439,"journal":{"name":"Ege Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85225589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
