Abstract

In this research, algal composition of Blacksea in
Gerze Coastline was studied and a total of 53 taxa were identified.
Heterokontophyta was the dominant group in algal flora with 75.44 %, followed
by Chlorophyta 11.32 %, Cyanobacteria 7.54 %, Charophyta, Dinophyta and
Rhodophyta with 1.88 %, respectively.  At
the algal flora, Navicula cincta, Nitzschia palea and Phormidium tenue
were the most dominant species. Navicula was represented by the most number of
taxa species in Gerze Coastline. According to chemical and physical analysis,
sea water was slightly alkaline and mesohaline.

Gerze (Sinop/Türkiye) Kıyı Şeridi Alg Florası

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Sinop-Gerze
kıyı şeridi alg kompozisyonu çalışıldı ve 53 takson tanımlandı. Algal flora
kompozisyonunda % 75,44 Heterokontophyta dominant grup olarak bulunurken onu
sırasıyla Chlorophyta %11.32, Cyanobacteria %7.54, Charophyta, Dinophyta ve Rhodophyta
% 1.88 olarak izlemiştir. Algal florada,  
Navicula cincta, Nitzschia palea ve Phormidium tenue en dominant
türler olup, Gerze kıyı şeridinde Navicula en çok türle temsil edilen takson
olmuştur. Fiziksel ve kimyasal analizlere göre deniz suyunun hafif alkali ve
mezohalin özellikte olduğu anlaşılmıştır.
