Description 149-157
Results of salinity, temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), total inorganic nitrogen,
orthophosphate phosphorus and reactive silica were investigated in relation to
the fouling organisms settled in the different marinas of the Eastern
Aegean coast. Water samples were taken 3 m below the surface and
from bottom. Seasonal changes in sessile macrobenthic groups settled on test
panels were studied during 1993- 1994. Fifty-five sessile macrofouling
organisms belonging to 8 different groups prevailing at the study sites were
identified. In the more stressed marinas, the covering values of dominant
groups were found to be notably different. Some pollution resistant species
such as Hydroides elegans, Balanus eburneus, Balanus amphitrite, Bugula
stolonifera, Bugula neritina and Ciona intestinalis were
predominantly present. The early coloni sers as well as rapidly breeding opportunistic
species were dominantly present at the sites enriched by organic pollutants.
