| Spatio-temporaldistribution and population structure of Enoplus quadridentatus Berlin, 1853associated with mussel beds were investigated seasonally (October 2013, January2014, May 2014 and July 2014) along the coasts of Sinop Peninsula, thenorthernmost point of Turkey located at the Black Sea. A 20x20 cm quadrat wasused by scuba divers to collect samples at five stations, of which four of themwere located on rocky sub- strata and one on a concrete pier pile. Nematodedensities ranged between 0 – 996 ind.m-2 and found high in Octoberand May. A total of 1100 individuals and 9 species belonging to 8 families wererecruited. E. quadridentatus Berlin, 1853 was the dominant species in most ofthe nematode assemblages inhabiting mussel beds and had a contribution of 74%to the total fauna. The density of the species varied among the seasons withpeaks in May and October, consistent with the general nematode densities.Population composition revealed seasonal changes. In general, females were dominantin the population and ovigerous females were recorded only in January and May.Juveniles were found during all seasons, but formed dense populations in Julyand May. It seems that the reproduction of the species is continuous throughoutthe year. |
