A Study on Ascidiacea (Tunicata, Chordata) Fauna of Ordu Province (Turkey)

Abstract

In this study, Ascidiacea specimens were collected from total 28 sampling station between May- October 2014 throughout coastline of Ordu province. 5 species (Ascidiella aspersa, Ciona intestinalis, Molgula manhattensis, Botryllus schlosseri, Botryllus sp.) belonging to 4 families were identified. All these species are the first records for Middle Black Sea Region (Turkey).
