This paper reports on 31 species collected in the two Aegean islands of Kos, in the Dodecanese, and Milos, in the Cyclades. Twenty-two species were collected on algae, chiefly on Cystoseira. Different hydroid species occupy specific regions of algal thalli; and different algal species harbour different hydroid assemblages. Five species were collected among the fouling communities on oceanographic instruments, eight species on other substrata. All the species collected were already known from the Western Mediterranean and showed consistent ecology and depth distribution. The present record raises to 67 the total of hydroid species (or subspecific taxa) known from the Aegean Sea and nearby waters of Greece and Turkey.

A total of fifteen embryos ranging from 9.0 to 11.2 cm in total length were observed. They all had a distinctive coloration of darker marks on a light brownish background. All the embryos were attached to sizeable yolk sacs but showed differences in development; some had already absorbed a significant part of yolk sac content, while others had not. All embryos had clearly formed external morphological characteristics, similar to the adult stage. No sign of clasper formation was observed, making sex identification impossible.

On the basis of the similarity in distribution among stations, 3 groups of species have been distinguished. One of these groups includes the species Spio decoratus and Hediste diversicolor which were both dominant and present at almost all stations. The distribution of species in the study area seems to depend on factors such as salinity, granulometric composition and organic matter of the sediment and interspecific competition, but mainly on the degree of {\textquoteright}confinement{\textquoteright}, namely the degree of exchange with the open sea.

The analysis of information derived from a thorough study of his zoological writings revealed 866 records related to animals currently classified as marine invertebrates. These records corresponded to 94 different animal names or descriptive phrases which were assigned to 85 current marine invertebrate taxa, mostly (58\%) at the species level. A detailed, annotated catalogue of all marine anhaima (a = without, haima = blood) appearing in Aristotle{\textquoteright}s zoological works was constructed and several older confusions were clarified. Some of Aristotle{\textquoteright}s "genera" were found to be directly correlated to current invertebrate higher taxa. Almost the total of the marine anhaima were benthic invertebrates. The great philosopher had a remarkable, well-balanced scientific knowledge of the diversity of the various invertebrate groups, very similar to that acquired by modern marine biologists in the same area of study. The results of the present study should be considered as a necessary starting point for a further analysis of Aristotle{\textquoteright}s priceless contribution to the marine environment and its organisms.}, keywords = {Aegean sea, animals in antiquity, CHECK LIST, fauna, Greece, information}, isbn = {1383-4517}, author = {Voultsiadou, E. and Vafidis, D.} } @article {13741, title = {Sponge diversity in the Aegean Sea: Check list and new information}, journal = {Italian Journal of ZoologyItalian Journal of Zoology}, volume = {72}, number = {1}, year = {2005}, note = {Cited By (since 1996): 3Export Date: 23 September 2006Source: ScopusReferences: Arndt, W., Porifera (1935) Die Tierwelt Der Nord- Und Ostsee, 27, pp. 1-140. , G.

Very few elements on the evaluation of the MLS in regard to the catch and landings of the small-scale fisheries in the Mediterranean exist and this is due to both the great heterogeneity of the sector and the lack of systematic monitoring. The catch length composition of five species (Merluccius merluccius, Diplodus annularis, Mullus barbatus, Sepia officinalis and Squilla mantis) from a yearly record of small-scale fishing operations in the Patraikos Gulf(w. Greece, e. Mediterranean) was associated with temporal (season), spatial (depth of fishing, substrate type) and fishery (metier) characteristics by means of general linear models. Smaller individuals appeared in the catch in autumn for all five species indicating this season as suitable if a seasonal fishery Closure was established. When length was found to be significantly different between different metiers this was either due to smaller mesh sizes (M. barbatus) or due to gear type (M. merluccius). For all species except S. officinalis, depth significantly affected length of individuals in the catch providing in the case of M. merluccius a clear association of bigger individuals with deeper fishing grounds. Substrate types also affected the length for the species D. annularis, M. barbatus. In relation to MLSs, the sizes of Mullus surmuletus and Scomber japonicus were fully legal, M. merluccius, M. barbatus, Solea vulgaris, Trachurus mediterraneus, Pagellus erythrinus had higher than 80\% of the catch over MLS, while D. annularis, Diplodus sargus, Sparus aurata and Pagellus acarne had high fractions of the total catch below MLS. The metiers where undersized individuals appear were identified. Further management implications of the findings are discussed taking into account the current management scheme and the discarding practices in the area. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

In this study the practical and ecological efficiency of the MLSs set by European Union (Regulation 1967/2006) and Greek legislation for 13 fish species caught with five gears in the Ionian Sea was tested using length measurements from 22 382 individuals. The percentage of individuals with lengths smaller than MLS was estimated. In addition, MLSs were compared against length at 50\% maturity (L(50)) and the percentages of individuals caught per species and gear with lengths smaller than the L(50) were also estimated. The mean percentage of individuals caught with lengths smaller than MLS ranged from 5.9\% for longliners to 42.6\% for beach-seiners, showing the practical inefficiency of this measure. In addition, all MLS were smaller than the corresponding L(50) and L(50) - SE values and across species the mean percentage of the immature individuals caught was very high, ranging from 55\% for longliners to 92\% for beach-seiners, indicating that the vast majority of the individuals caught did not have the chance to spawn even once.

Sediment core slices of 2 cm height were collected down to 10 cm depth at 6 stations (from water depth ranging from 25 to 60 m); mesozooplankton samples from the water column were obtained simultaneously. Sampling was performed in September 2001 (before trawling activities and without storm events), in late October 2001 (after the start of the trawling activities) and in February 2002 (after 120 days of intensive trawling activities and the stormy season). The total abundance of eggs was higher at stations located close to the rivers{\textquoteright} mouths, with the muddy sediments of the bed and the water column rich in zooplankters, than at stations located at greater depths and with muddy-sand bed sediments. At the former stations, the vertical distribution of resting eggs has revealed a trend of homogenisation within the sediment column, from September to February; this is related probably to sediment resuspension. At the latter stations, no clear temporal variability in the vertical distribution was detected. The eggs found in the bottom sediments of Thermaikos Gulf were assigned to 16 morpho-types. Amongst these, eggs assigned to Paracartia latisetosa and Labidocera wollastoni (as well as one type called as "Calanoida 3"), were found to be dominant at all the stations and during all the sampling periods, both as full and empty eggs.

Octopuses were the most important prey in terms of numbers eaten and contribution to reconstructed prey biomass. The common octopus (Octopus vulgaris) (33.9\% of prey by number) was around three times as numerous in the diet as the lesser octopus (Eledone cirrhosa) (11.1\%).

Samples, (8 cement plates, 35cmx35cm) were collected seasonally with SCUBA-diving from March 2000 till May 2001. Overall 46986 individuals were counted belonging to 13 classes, while 88 species were recorded. Common biocoenotic parameters (numerical abundance, frequency, mean dominance) were calculated. Shannon-Weaver index ranged from 2.509 to 3.741 and evenness from 0.388 to 0.579, both exhibiting a maximum in summertime. The analysis revealed a clear dominance of Serpulids during the first three periods and of Peracarida for the last two. Filter-feeder organisms including Pomatoceros triqueter, Spirobranchus polytrema and Corophium sextonae dominated the samples. Two-way ANOVA indicated significant differences in numerical abundance of each taxon with time. However, no differences were recorded among taxon from the top and the base of the pyramids except for Gastropods,which showed a significant increase in numerical abundance at the top blocks. Cluster analysis provided a dendrogram with 6 groups at a 73\% similarity level, 5 of which group together the replicates of each period, except one replicate, from the last period, that forms the 6th cluster.

Meiofauna, which are among the smallest benthic organisms, may be more resistant to disturbance by trawling since they are likely to be re-suspended rather than killed by trawls. Their short generation times allow populations to withstand elevated mortality. In this study, we determined the effect of trawling disturbance, season and sediment type on the structure of meiofaunal communities in a commercial fishing ground in Thermaikos Gulf, north Aegean Sea, Greece. The trawling season is limited to 8 months between October and May. A grid of five nearshore stations was chosen along a north-south productivity gradient and an additional offshore station was included as a reference point. Sediment chemistry and meiofaunal community structure were studied before the trawling season started, as well as 1 and 4 months after the initiation of the fishing period. Results showed that there were no short term (30 days) trawling impacts on meiofauna in terms of abundance and community structure but that there were recognizable effects on the community structure of nematodes and the abundance of polychaetes. In contrast, most meiofaunal taxa displayed significant seasonal variability, 4 months after the initiation of the fishing period; however, other closely related factors such as temperature, sediment particle size and primary productivity are more likely to be responsible for the observed patterns. {\textcopyright} 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

As a correct species assignment is crucial for ecological studies, the data presented here are substantiated using DNA sequences from the mitochondrial genome to verify the systematic status of the mudsnail taxon in question. A comparative molecular analysis involving almost all brackish-water taxa of Hydrobiinae indicates that the populations from the Evros Delta belong to the Pontic species Ventrosia maritima, a taxon that was not reported before from the Mediterranean. Moreover, it appears that in previous studies, the mudsnail populations from the Evros Delta were misidentified. Principal Component Analyses using environmental variables defined station groups among which V maritima showed a significant variation in density. Mudsnail specimens were absent at stations with an immediate access to the sea (salinity 32 - 34 PSU, very fine to fine sand, organic matter 0.3 -1.4 \%), they showed intermediate densities (up to 3,000 ind./m(2)) in innermost lagoonal parts (34-35 PSU, very fine sand, organic matter 1.0-1.4 \%) and relatively high densities (up to 7,000 ind./m(2)) only in isolated parts (15-17 PSU, fine sand, organic matter 0.5-0.8 \%). Contact with the sea, which is strongly correlated with seawater renewal rate and hydrodynamism, was found to be the most important factor affecting mudsnail distributions. The data presented, being the first detailed ecological information available for V. maritima, are compared with the available information for other mudsnail taxa. The present study not only lays the foundation for future comparative eco-genetic works of mudsnail taxa, it also stresses the absolute need for the routine usage of molecular markers in ecological studies involving frequently utilized but systematically poorly understood invertebrate species.}, keywords = {Aegean sea, coastal lagoon, Community structure, Gastropoda, Hydrobiidae, life-cycle, macrobenthic fauna, Mollusca Gastropoda, mtDNA, mud snails hydrobiidae, north aegean sea, pca, PHYLOGENETIC INFERENCE, salt-marsh, sediment type, spatial variation, ventrosa, ventrosia maritima}, author = {Kevrekidis, T. and Wilke, T. and Mogias, A.} } @article {7647, title = {Seasonal variation in abundance of Corophium orientale (Crustacea : Amphipoda) in Monolimni lagoon (Evros Delta, North Aegean Sea)}, journal = {Belgian Journal of ZoologyBelgian Journal of Zoology}, volume = {135}, number = {2}, year = {2005}, note = {Times Cited: 0ArticleEnglishCited References Count: 11995eu}, month = {JUL}, pages = {171-173}, keywords = {abundance, Aegean sea, amphipods, corophium orientale, life-history, reproductive-biology, Seasonal variation, shorebird predation, volutator}, author = {Kevrekidis, T. and Boubonari, T. and Goutner, V.} } @article {7567, title = {The impacts of scallop dredging on sponge assemblages in the Gulf of Kalloni (Aegean Sea, northeastern Mediterranean)}, journal = {ICES Journal of Marine ScienceICES Journal of Marine Science}, volume = {60}, number = {2}, year = {2003}, note = {Times Cited: 2ArticleEnglishCited References Count: 21805dn}, month = {APR}, pages = {402-410}, abstract = {Concerns have been raised on the impact of bottom-fishing activities in the shallow Gulf of Kalloni (Lesvos Island, Aegean Sea). Fishing with demersal gears was banned in 1995, but the Gulf was reopened in 1998 only for scallop dredging using the "lagamna" gear. Two series of samplings were done with this gear in 1998 and 1999 (October) before the beginning of scallop-fishing period (from November up to March), aiming to investigate possible changes in sponge assemblages. Sponges (Porifera) were the most abundant meso-megafaunal benthic organisms in the Gulf, besides scallops and other bivalves. Total abundance, number of species, species diversity, species richness and evenness of sponge assemblages reduced significantly from the year 1998 to 1999. The population of the excavating Cliona celata, the only infaunal sponge species found in the Gulf decreased. Multivariate analysis on the abundance data of epibenthic sponge species revealed a clear separation of samples collected during the 2 years, indicating changes in the structure of sponge assemblages. The distinguishing species included a variety of growth forms: massive (Mycale massa, Suberites domuncula and Tethya citrina), lobose (Suberites massa, Tedania anhelans and Halichondria panicea), erect branching (Raspailia viminalis), encrusting (Crambe crambe) and cushion-shaped (Mycale contarenii and Chondrilla nuculla) sponges. Among these species, only S. massa increased its abundance in 1999. All others decreased. No significant loss of information occurred when multivariate analysis was applied to abundance data of genera or families. This comparative study demonstrated that the time interval between two consecutive scallop-fishing periods was insufficient for the recovery of sponge assemblages. It is concluded that scallop dredging causes long-term changes in the structure and biodiversity of sponge assemblages in the Gulf of Kalloni. An improved strategy of fishery management is required in future for the conservation of living resources in this Gulf. (C) 2003 International Council for the Exploration of the Sea.

Acidic extracts from tissues of L sceleratus specimens of different sizes were examined by means of the official mouse bioassay for tetrodotoxin, while some of the extracts were also tested for the presence of Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP) toxins with a commercial ELISA kit. Toxicity in mice, with symptomatology indicative of tetrodotoxin, was confirmed in a number of samples and indicated a correlation with fish size. Toxicity of certain tissues (liver, gonads, gastrointestinal tract) in larger individuals, expressed as mu g/g tetrodotoxin equivalents, was largely above levels required to cause death in human adults. On the other hand, all tested extracts provided a positive reaction in the ELISA test for PSP toxins. This constitutes the first report for presence of toxicity in L. sceleratus caught in European coastal waters. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

Six sites were investigated by snorkelling and SCUBA diving. Samples, photographs and video images were also taken to integrate information. Three out of the six sites were close to hydrothermal vents, a common feature in the area. In total, nine major epibenthic communities were found, most of which were characterised by a diverse algal growth down to the maximum depth explored. Macrobenthic cover was severely reduced only in the close proximity of vents, a white flocculent bacterial mat covering the rock at the point from which fluid escaped. Large-scale effects of vents on the epibenthic communities were not detected. However, the abundance of species with warm-water affinity was recognisable in both algal and animal dominated communities, which may be related to higher winter temperature in the vent area. Epifaunal communities under overhangs were composed of distinct groups of suspension feeders at vent as compared to non-vent sites: this might indicate differences in trophic conditions. Mounds of the bioconstructional coralline alga Mesophyllum lichenoides were conspicuous only at vent sites, thus suggesting enhanced biodeposition of carbonates due to vent activity.}, keywords = {Aegean sea, Bioconstruction, Community zonation, Hard substrate epibenthos, Shallow hydrothermal vents}, author = {Cocito, S. and Bianchi, C.N. and Morri, C. and Peirano, A.} } @booklet {4578, title = {Peracarida populations of hard substrate assemblages in ports of the NW Aegean Sea (eastern Mediterranean)}, howpublished = {Helgoland Marine ResearchHelgoland Marine Research}, volume = {58}, number = {1}, year = {2004}, note = {Cited By (since 1996): 4Export Date: 5 September 2006Source: ScopusReferences: Barnard, J.L., Amphipoda crustaceans as fouling organisms, in Los Angeles-Long Beach harbors, with reference to the influence of seawater turbidity (1958) Calif Fish Game, 44, pp. 161-170; Barnard, J.L., Relationship of benthic Amphipoda to invertebrate communities of inshore sublittoral sands of Southern California (1963) Pac Nat, 3, pp. 439-467; Baxevanis, A., Chintiroglou, C., Peracarida crustaceans of the artificial hard substratum in N Michaniona (N Aegean) (2000) Belg J Zool, 130 (SUPPL.), pp. 11-16; Bellan, G., Pe?re?s, J.M., (1994) la Pollution des Mers, , Presses Universitaires de France; Bellan, G., Desrosiers, G., Willsie, A., Use of an annelid pollution index for monitoring a moderately polluted littoral zone (1988) Mar Pollut Bull, 19, pp. 662-665; Bellan-Santini, D., Contribution a l{\textquoteright}e?tude des milieux portuaires (Le Vieux Port de Marseille) (1968) Rapp Comm Int Mer Mediterr, 19, pp. 93-95; Bellan-Santini, D., Contribution a? l{\textquoteright}e?tude des peuplements infralittoraux sur substrat rocheux (1969) Trav Stat Mar Endoume Bull, 31, pp. 1-294; Bellan-Santini, D., Influence des pollutions sur le peuplement des amphipodes dans la bioce?nose des algues photophiles (1981) Tethys, 10, pp. 185-194; Bellan-Santini, D., The Mediterranean benthos: Reflections and problems raised by a classification of the benthic assemblages (1983) Mediterranean Marine Ecosystems, pp. 19-47. , Maraitou-Apostolopoulou M, Kiortsis V (eds) NATO conference series 2.

Quantitative samples were taken during summer and winter in two successive years from artificial hard substrates and were analysed using common biocoenotic methods. The examination of approximately 81,250 specimens revealed the presence of 24 Peracarida species, the most dominant of which were Corophium acutum, Leptochelia savignyi and Elasmopus rapax. All species are very common and have been reported from many sites and assemblages in the N Aegean Sea. The ratios of certain Peracarida genera are discussed as possible indicators of environmental health that may be used in long-term biomonitoring programmes on the impact of pollution in harbours. {\textcopyright} Springer-Verlag and AWI 2003.}, keywords = {Aegean sea, hard substrate, Peracarida, pollution, ports}, author = {Chintiroglou, C.-C. and Antoniadou, C. and Baxevanis, A. and Damianidis, P. and Karalis, P. and Vafidis, D.} } @article {2823, title = {Molluscan fauna from infralittoral hard substrate assemblages in the North Aegean Sea}, journal = {Belgian Journal of ZoologyBelgian Journal of Zoology}, volume = {135}, number = {2}, year = {2005}, note = {Export Date: 23 September 2006Source: ScopusReferences: Augier, H., Inventory and classification of marine benthic biocoenoses of the Mediterranean.

The spatial dispersion of hard substratum polychaete populations was studied in two sub-areas of the North Aegean: Thermaikos Gulf, which is under the influence of organic pollution and Chalkidiki. The evaluation of the proposed methods to assess disturbance, originally developed on soft substratum communities, reveals that multivariate analyses based on relative abundance are better applicable in hard substratum, compared to univariate ones and to those based on size changes of the fauna.

The examination of the 19,343 living specimens collected revealed the presence of 314 species. Though the multivariate analyses showed high similarity between stations, the structure of this sciaphilic algal community seems to have an increased spatial heterogeneity. Four distinct facies were recorded in accordance with the occurrence of different algal forms, the degree of hard substrate inclination and the water clarity.

Pollutants in abiotic components of the marine environment (seawater, sediment) as well as in selected marine organisms (M. barbatus and B. boops) were measured. It was found that there is no evidence of substantial pollution of the marine environment (seawater, sediment and fish) with respect to the pollutants measured. However, it was shown that although the uncontrolled discharge of untreated effluents has been reduced since the beginning of the operation of the Mytilini sewage treatment plant in 2001, sediments near the harbour of the city still carry increased loads of metals of anthropogenic origin. Furthermore, the small quantity of untreated sewerage that still flows out in the harbour of the city seems to affect water quality, since a higher mesotrophic character with eutrophic trends was observed in the area.}, keywords = {Aegean sea, bay, COMMERCIALLY IMPORTANT FISH, ENVIRONMENTAL-QUALITY, halogenated hydrocarbons, HEAVY-METAL CONCENTRATIONS, hydrocarbons, MEDITERRANEAN SEA, MEDPOL phase III, MERLUCCIUS-MERLUCCIUS, metals, mullet, MULLUS-BARBATUS, nutrients, polyaromatic, sediments, TRACE-METAL}, isbn = {1790-7632}, author = {Aloupi, M. and Angelidis, M.
