Juvenile fısh fauna of the transitional waters on the Mediterranean coasts of Turkey; a structural and environmental assessment
Abstract
While transitional waters create important areas for fish breeding, feeding and growth, these are also the areas where the physiological preparation for migration is made. Transitional waters allow juvenile fish to grow faster. Juvenile fish predation is also considerably lower than in the marine environment, as large carnivorous fish are less common in transitional waters than in open seas. In this respect, transitional waters represent important protection areas for juveniles. For the protection and long-term management of fish stocks of transitional waters, it is necessary to identify the fish species living in these systems and to know the human activities affecting the fauna. In this study, the systematic status of juvenile fish species, habitat categories, population sources and risk categories of the Manavgat, Göksu, Seyhan and Ceyhan transitional waters on the Mediterranean coasts of Turkey were determined, and human activities affecting natural fish species and their results were evaluated. During the study, a total of 28 juvenile species were identified in transitional waters. 7 (25%) of these species are found to be common in the transitional waters of 4 river systems. Marine species are represented by more juvenile species in the transition waters of Manavgat, Göksu, Seyhan and Ceyhan rivers.
