A total of 212 species (or varieties) were identified, belonging to seven higher taxa: poriferans (24 species), cnidarians (32), molluscs (8), serpuloidean polychaetes (33), bryozoans (90), brachiopods (4) and ascidians (21). The combined use of a varied array of sampling methods was effective in obtaining a rich faunal inventory. Deep and offshore sites tended to be richer in species than shallow and inshore sites. In all cases species richness was higher at sites closest to hydrothermal vents on the sea floor. Although there are no comparable inventories of marine sessile epifauna in the Aegean, the high number of species found, with a relatively low sampling effort in a restricted area, indicates that the marine biodiversity of this sea is not as low as traditionally believed.}, keywords = {marine}, author = {Morri, C. and Bianchi, C.

A population of C. capitata, termed Capitella sp. M, was found in a shallow water hydrothermal vent area south of Milos (Greece). Here, this population occurs close to vent outlets (termed the "transition zone"), an environment with steep gradients of temperature, salinity and pH and increased sulphide concentrations of up to 710 mu-M. The field distribution of C. capitata in relation to sulphide concentrations around the vent outlets was investigated and sulphide tolerance experiments were conducted on laboratory-cultured worms to elucidate possible adaptations of Capitella sp.

In order to investigate whether the population from the Milos hydrothermal vent area can be considered a distinct sibling species within the C. capitata complex, crossbreeding experiments and analysis of general protein patterns were conducted with Capitella sp.

Ninety composite haplotypes were revealed with the number of haplotypes in each population sample ranging from 4 to 31. Private haplotypes were found at very low frequencies. The global exact test of sample differentiation based on composite haplotype frequencies was statistically significant. FST analyses also showed significant heterogeneity among the European lobster population samples (FST = 0.078, P < 0.001). This differentiation was mainly due to the population samples from northern Norway, the Netherlands, and the Mediterranean Sea. These samples differentiated from the rest due to reduced gene diversity rather than to unique haplotypes. The relationships among these samples were illustrated with cluster analyses; four major distinct groups were evident: Mediterranean, northern Norway, Netherlands, and the remaining Atlantic samples. Based on the low degree of differentiation revealed in the European lobster and its limited capacity for dispersal, the most probable hypothesis is that all populations have been established from a common refuge after the end of the last Ice Age, that is, within the past 15,000 years. The results of this study show that mitochondrial DNA is a powerful tool for the determination of the genetic structure among lobster samples, which is important for a proper management policy designed to protect and to cultivate this species. {\textcopyright} Springer-Verlag 2004.}, keywords = {Crustacea Decapoda}, author = {Triantafyllidis, A. and Apostolidis, A.P. and Katsares, V. and Kelly, E. and Mercer, J. and Hughes, M. and Jorstad, K.E. and Tsolou, A. and Hynes, R. and Triantaphyllidis, C.} } @article {12838, title = {Estimation of the reproductive output of the burrowing shrimp Callianassa tyrrhena: a comparison of three different biometrical approaches}, journal = {Marine BiologyMarine Biology}, volume = {127}, number = {3}, year = {1997}, pages = {435-442}, publisher = {Springer}, keywords = {Crustacea Decapoda}, author = {Thessalou-Legaki, M. and Kiortsis, V.} } @article {12841, title = {Facultative lecithotrophy during larval development of the burrowing shrimp Callianassa tyrrhena (Decapoda : Callianassidae)}, journal = {Marine BiologyMarine Biology}, volume = {133}, number = {4}, year = {1999}, note = {Times Cited: 4ArticleEnglishCited References Count: 47200kt}, month = {MAY}, pages = {635-642}, abstract = {Survival, developmental and consumption rate (Artemia nauplii ingested per day) as well as predation efficiency (ingested per available Artemia nauplii) were studied during the larval development of the shallow-water burrowing thalassinid Callianassa tyrrhena (Petagna, 1792), which exhibits an abbreviated type of development with only two zoeal stages and a megalopa. The larvae, hatched from berried females from S. Euboikos Bay (Aegean Sea, Greece), were reared at 10 temperature-food density combinations (19 and 24 degrees C; 0, 2, 4, 8 and 16 Artemia nauplii d(-1)). Enhanced starvation resistance was evident: 92 and 58\% of starved zoeas I molted to zoea II, while metamorphosis to megalopa was achieved by 76 and 42\% of the hatched zoeas at 19 and 24 degrees C, respectively. The duration of both zoeal stages was affected by temperature, food density and their interaction. Nevertheless, starvation showed different effects at the two temperatures: compared to the fed shrimp, the starved zoeae exhibited accelerated development at 19 degrees C (8.4 d) but delayed metamorphosis at 24 degrees C (5.9 d). On the other hand, both zoeal stages were able to consume food at an increased rate as food density and temperature increased. Predation efficiency also increased with temperature, but never exceeded 0.6. Facultative lecithotrophy, more pronounced during the first zoeal stage of C. tyrrhena, can be regarded as an adaptation of a species whose larvae can respond physiologically to the different temperature-food density combinations encountered in the wide geographical range of their natural habitat.}, keywords = {abbreviated development, brachyuran crabs, Crustacea, grapsidae, palinuridae, periods, requirements, starvation resistance, temperature, thalassinidea}, author = {Thessalou-Legaki, M. and Peppa, A. and Zacharaki, M.} } @article {12849, title = {Benthic fauna of a shallow-water gaseohydrothermal vent area in the Aegean Sea (Milos, Greece)}, journal = {Marine BiologyMarine Biology}, volume = {128}, number = {1}, year = {1997}, note = {TY - JOURCited By (since 1996): 37Export Date: 7 September 2006Source: ScopusReferences: Bedulli, D., Possible alterations caused by temperature on exploration rhythms in Cyclope neritea (L.)

The macro- and meiofauna, as well as environmental factors such as temperature, salinity, sulfide concentration, grain size composition, ATP concentration, organic carbon, chlorophyll a and phacopigments were evaluated. Samples were taken along transects from a seagrass meadow into a hydrothermally active area. Hydrothermally active spots were distinguished from the surrounding sediment by their black sediment coloration and an overlying white bacterial mat. For comparison, a control transect from a seagrass meadow into bare sand in a non-vent area in the same bay was studied. Overall, we found decreasing faunal diversity from the seagrass bed towards the hydrothermally active area. Along this gradient, four different zones could be distinguished. (a) The seagrass area had a relatively low diversity compared to the control stations, but much higher diversity than in the areas directly influenced by hydrothermal activity. (b) The border zone between the seagrass and the hydrothermal area, with moderate sulfide concentrations, pH values, seawater salinity and temperatures, was inhabited by an impoverished community dominated by the polychaete Capitella capitata, the nematodes Oncholaimus campylocercoides and Sabatieria sp., and an as yet undescribed chromadorid nematode (Chromadorina sp.). (c) The transition zone at the border of the hydrothermal area proper, with temperatures and sulfide concentrations higher than in the border zone, was characterized by high salinity (60?) and low pH values. Along with the gastropod Cyclope neritea, single specimens of C. capitata and O. campylocercoides occurred. (d) The hydrothermal area proper, characterized by high sulfide concentrations, had high sediment temperatures and high salinities. The pH was as low as 6. Here, the gastropod Cyclope neritea was the only species occurring in considerable numbers. The gaseohydrothermal activity seems to largely exclude the surrounding farina in a graded zonal pattern. The increasing hydrothermal stress entrains a change of the ambient biota towards a depauperate consortium of tolerant, opportunistic species, e.g. Capitella capitata (Polychaeta) and Oncholaimus campylocercoides (Nematoda). Although the hydrothermal area proper was characterized by a thick bacterial mat, the benthic community was characterized not by bacteria feeders but by scavenging species.}, keywords = {kape Annelida Polychaeta Nematoda Mollusca Gastropoda Oligochaeta Crustacea Tanaidacea}, author = {Thiermann, F. and Akoumianaki, I. and Hughes, J.A. and Giere, O.} } @article {11960, title = {Mesozooplankton communities in the Aegean and Black Seas: A comparative study}, journal = {Marine BiologyMarine Biology}, volume = {144}, number = {6}, year = {2004}, note = {Cited By (since 1996): 2Export Date: 5 September 2006Source: ScopusReferences: Arashkevich, E., Svetlichny, L., Gubareva, S., Besiktepe, S., Gucu, A.S., Kideys, A.E., Physiological and ecological studies of Calanus euxinus (Hulsemann) from the Black Sea with comments on its life cycle (1998) Ecosystem Modeling As a Management Tool for the Black Sea, pp. 351-366. , Ivanov LI, Oguz T (eds) Kluwer, Dordrecht; Aubrey, D., Moncheva, S., Demirov, E., Diaconu, V., Dimitrov, A., Environmental changes in the western Black Sea related to anthropogenic and natural conditions (1995) J Mar Syst, 7, pp. 411-425; Christou, E.D., Interrannual variability of copepods in a Mediterranean coastal area (Saronikos Gulf, Aegean Sea) (1998) J Mar Syst, 15, pp. 523-532; Chislenko, L.L., (1968) Nomogrammy dlya Opredeleniya Vesa Vodnykh Organizmov po Razmeram i Forme Tela (Nomograms for Determining Weight of Aquatic Animals from the Size and Shape of Their Body), 106p. , Nauka, Leningrad; Della Croce, N., Distribuzione e biologia del cladocero marino Penilia avirostris Dana (1964) Bull Inst Oceanogr Monaco, 62, 16p; Dinu, E.E., Dynamique spatio-temporelle de la communaute zooplanctonique du littoral Roumain de la Mer Noire (1987) Cercet Mar, 20-21, pp. 295-312; Finenko, G.A., Romanova, Z.A., Abolmasova, G.I., The ctenophore Beroe ovata is a recent invader to the Black Sea (2000) Ehkol Morya, 50, pp. 21-25; Flint, M.V., Vertical distribution of the mass mesoplankton species in connection with the oxygen field structure (1989) Structure and Productive Characteristic of the Planktonic Communities of the Black Sea, pp. 187-212. , Vinogradov ME, Flint MV (eds) Nauka, Moscow; Friligos, N., Enrichment in inorganic nutrients in the inner Saronikos Gulf (1973-1976) (1982) Mar Pollut Bull, 13, pp. 154-158; Friligos, N., Nutrient conditions in the Eyboikos Gulf (West Aegean) (1985) Mar Pollut Bull, 16, pp. 435-439; Friligos, N., Eutrophication assessment in Greek coastal waters (1987) Toxicol Environ Chem, 15, pp. 185-196; Furnestin, M.L., Aspects of the zoogeography of the Mediterranean plankton (1979) Zoogeography and Diversity of Plankton, pp. 191-253. , Van der Spoel S, Pierrot-Bults AC (eds) Arnold, London; Gaudy, R., Features and peculiarities of zooplankton communities from the western Mediterranean (1985) Mediterranean Marine Ecosystems, pp. 279-301. , Moraitou-Apostolopoulou M, Kiortsis V (eds) Plenum, New York; Gotsis-Skretas, O., Friligos, N., Eutrophication and phytoplankton ecology in the Thermaikos Gulf (1990) Thalassografica, 13, pp. 1-12; Greze, V.N., Zooplankton (1979) Productivity of the Black Sea, pp. 143-164. , Greze VN (ed) Naukova dumka, Kiev; Gubanov, V.I., Ryabinin, A.I., (1988) Contemporary Hydrochemical Regime of the Aegean Sea, , Gidrometeoizdat, Moscow; Gubanova, A., Occurrence of Acartia tonsa in the Black Sea.

These areas are in connected through the Sea of Marmara, the Bosporus and the Dardanelles straits. The comparison was mainly based on data collected both in coastal and offshore waters, by the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (Greece), the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology (Russia), the Institute of Biology of Southern Seas (Ukraine) and the Institute of Oceanology (Bulgaria). Our data revealed important differentiation in terms of species composition and interannual fluctuations of zooplankton quantity. Among the common copepod species, those presenting an eurytherm and/or euryhaline character (e.g. Acartia clausi, Paracalanus parvus, Penilia avirostris, Podon polyphemoides) were found dominant in the Black Sea and common in the Aegean Sea. Decreased dissimilarity of species composition seems to exist between the North Aegean Sea and the Black Sea, as well as between the coastal areas of the Black Sea and those affected by pollution in the Aegean Sea. A common feature of both seas is the existence of spatial differentiation in terms of the quantity of zooplankters due to anthropogenic and/ or natural influences. The pattern of this differentiation seems to vary interannually in the Black Sea, depending either on the abundance of mesozooplankton predators (indigenous or invasive species) or on global climatic changes. Although the Black Sea is generally richer in zooplankton than the Aegean Sea, the significant decrease in the quantity of zooplankton from the early 1980s to the mid-1990s, due to the above factors, resulted in quasi-similar values in both areas. Black Sea mesozooplankton has revealed strong interannual variability both quantitatively and qualitatively, whereas no significant variability was detected in the Aegean Sea. This difference could be attributed both to variant anthropogenic forcing on these ecosystems and to the sensitive character of the semi-enclosed Black Sea. {\textcopyright} Springer-Verlag 2004.}, keywords = {marine}, author = {Siokou-Frangou, I. and Shiganova, T. and Christou, E.D. and Kamburska, L. and Gubanova, A. and Konsulov, A. and Musaeva, E. and Skryabin, V. and Khoroshilov, V.} } @article {11806, title = {Population development of the invader ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi, in the Black Sea and in other seas of the Mediterranean basin}, journal = {Marine BiologyMarine Biology}, volume = {139}, number = {3}, year = {2001}, note = {Times Cited: 17ArticleEnglishCited References Count: 67477pq}, month = {SEP}, pages = {431-445}, abstract = {In the last two decades of the twentieth century, the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi (A. Agassiz) has invaded the Black, Azov, Marmara and Aegean Seas, and, recently, the Caspian Sea. Here, we compare its spatial and temporal distribution, seasonal dynamics and the time and duration of reproduction. We also discuss factors that control its abundance throughout its invasive range and its effect on ecosystems. Observations are based on the long-term field data collected by three research institutes. An analysis of the effects of temperature, salinity, prey (zoo- and ichthyoplankton) availability and predation (by ctenophores of the genus Beroe) on M. leidyi population size, and the effects of M. leidyi on zoo- and ichthyoplankton, and on fish populations in the Black and Azov Seas is also provided. With the Black Sea current, M. leidyi spreads to the upper layers of the Sea of Marmara, where it now occurs around the year. At regular intervals, the Black Sea current also takes it to the northern Aegean Sea. In contrast, it has to re-invade the Sea of Azov every spring or summer, dying out during winter when the temperature drops below 4 degreesC. The warm summer and mild winter temperatures, relatively low salinity and abundance of prey in the Black Sea are close to optimal for M. leidyi, while they are suboptimal in the northern Aegean Sea, where salinity and temperature are often too high. In the Black Sea the absence of gelatinous and other predators led to an enormous ctenophore abundance for a decade, but with the appearance of Beroe ovata in 1999, M. leidyi abundance greatly decreased. Analysis of seasonal dynamics of M. leidyi in the Black Sea and in other seas of the Mediterranean basin indicates similarities in the timing of maximum abundance and biomass, in spite of some differences in the initiation and duration of reproduction. A peak biomass and density occurred in 1989 in the Black and Azov Seas and in 1990 in the other seas. The M. leidyi invasion negatively affected the ecosystems of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. The zooplankton, ichthyoplankton and zooplanktivorous fish stocks all underwent profound changes. Similar effects, but less pronounced, were recorded in the Sea of Marmara. Effects on Mediterranean food chains have, so far, remained insignificant. Salinity is probably supraoptimal here, and several predators prevent M. leidyi from reaching outbreak levels.}, keywords = {abundance, Ctenophora, food, lobata, narragansett bay, predation, rhode-island, zooplankton}, author = {Shiganova, T.

It consists of four species, Xantho hydrophilus (Herbst, 1790), X. poressa (Olivi, 1792), X. pilipes A. Milne-Edwards, 1867, and X. sexdentatus (Miers, 1881). X. hydrophilus has been divided into two geographic forms, of which one, X. h. granulicarpus (Forest, 1953), is postulated to be endemic to the Mediterranean Sea. In this study, we reconstruct phylogenetic relationships of the genus Xantho and related genera from the Atlantic Ocean or Mediterranean Sea and compare different geographic populations of Xantho hydrophilus and, to a lesser extent, of X. poressa by means of population genetic and morphometric analyses. The molecular phylogeny is based on two mitochondrial genes (large subunit rRNA and cytochrome oxidase I) and indicates that X. poressa, X. hydrophilus and X. sexdentatus form a monophyletic group, the latter two species sharing identical haplotypes. On the other hand, X. pilipes shows affinities to Xanthodius denticulatus. Population genetics based on the COI gene reveal genetic differentiation within X. hydrophilus. Morphometric results also give evidence for distinct geographic forms in X. hydrophilus with a clear discrimination. In comparison, morphometric discrimination between different geographic populations of X. poressa is less clear, but still significant. We therefore suggest a recent/ongoing morphological and genetic differentiation within Xantho hydrophilus, restricted gene flow between its Atlantic and Mediterranean populations (not allowing subspecific differentiation) and possible mtDNA introgression between the species X. hydrophilus and X. sexdentatus.}, keywords = {Decapoda}, author = {Reuschel, S. and Schubart, C.

Appropriate molecular markers are particularly suitable for distinguishing cryptic biological species. In this study, we examine the phylogenetic utility of 16S rRNA in elucidating the evolutionary relationships within the recently described euryhaline Brachionus plicatilis species complex. In addition, we assess the applicability of this marker in the genetic identification and monitoring of rotifer populations. We have sequenced a 378-bp fragment of the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene in laboratory reference strains, hatchery clones as well as collections from a wild population of the subsaline Lake Koroneia (Northern Greece). Also, restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis was performed with eight restriction endonucleases. Rotifer samples are distinguished into six genetically divergent lineages. Average sequence divergence between lineages is 0.1038. The evolutionary relationships and divergence time-scales revealed with the 16S sequence data are in agreement with previous analyses using different mitochondrial and nuclear markers. The 16S region appears to have several advantages over other regions of the genome regarding use of species-specific primers, ease of amplification from single specimens and undiluted informational content over both recent and more ancient separations. It has also exhibited maximum discriminatory power (100\% success) between lineages during RFLP analysis. The 16S assayed region has proven especially informative and consistent in detecting, supporting and establishing the lineage status within the B. plicatilis species complex both from a phylogenetic perspective and as an identification tool. {\textcopyright} Springer-Verlag 2005.}, keywords = {Rotifera}, author = {Papakostas, S. and Triantafyllidis, A. and Kappas, I. and Theodoros J.

The fishery sample included specimens from both the pelagic and the demersal stage. Length-at-settlement (TL50) and 95\% confidence intervals were estimated by fitting a logistic function. Eleven morphometric characters were analyzed, and the existing inflection points, reflecting alterations in body shape, were defined: (1) iteratively, as the transition point, splitting the data set into two groups, for which the reduced major axis functions, between a character and total length, of the successive groups best fit (minimum sum of squares of residuals) the combined data set and (2) where the second derivative of the fitted third-order polynomial functions to morphometric ratios equaled zero. The main size range within which wreckfish settled was 56-65 cm, and the means of the inflection points defined by the two methods were 61 and 64 cm. These results indicate changes in functional morphology associated with settlement. The monitoring of wreckfish juveniles caught in the wild and kept individually in captivity showed changes in growth and food intake at approximately the estimated settlement length and suggested that temperature was the most likely factor triggering settlement.}, keywords = {Pisces}, author = {Machias, A. and Somarakis, S. and Papadroulakis, N. and Spedicato, M.-T. and Suquet, M. and Lembo, G. and Divanach, P.} } @article {8536, title = {Evolution and systematics in Haliotidae (Mollusca: Gastropoda): Inferences from DNA sequences of sperm lysin}, journal = {Marine BiologyMarine Biology}, volume = {124}, number = {2}, year = {1996}, note = {TY - JOURCited By (since 1996): 33Export Date: 8 September 2006Source: Scopus}, month = {1996///}, pages = {267-278}, abstract = {Abalone taxonomy and systematics have remained unresolved: neither stable species-level nomenclature nor a cladistic hypothesis of relationships among species have been established. To infer the phylogeny of the genus Haliotis and to identify species using molecular data, we compared complementary DNA (cDNA) sequences of sperm lysin from 27 species- group taxa from California, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, Borneo, Madagascar, South Africa, Greece, France, Italy and the Azores. The lysin cDNA sequences reveal that 22 of the 27 taxa are clearly distinguishable by > 20 nucleotide differences. Of the remaining 5, H. coccinea from the Azores may be a subspecies of H. tuberculata, if not a sibling species (10 nucleotide differences). The other four taxa are most probably the same species as one of the 22 taxa: the lysin sequences are almost identical between H. madaka and H. discus hannai, H. conicopora and H. rubra, H. diversicolor supertexta and H. diversicolor aquatilis, and H. tuberculata lamellosa and H. tuberculata tuberculata. The phylogeny of lysin cDNA suggests that there are three groups among the 27 species-group taxa: (1) all California species and 3 Japanese species (H. gigantea, H. discus hannai, and H. madaka); (2) 1 New Zealand species (H. iris); (3) 1 Japanese species (H. diversicolor aquatilis), Indo-West Pacific species and European species. These groups can be assigned to three previously recognized subgenera (Nordotis, Paua and Padollus) in the genus Haliotis. Two historical hypotheses are proposed to explain the biogeography and evolution within these abalone: (1) Tethyan distribution of the ancestral abalone during the Cretaceous, followed by extinction in most of the habitat, but radiation in California and Southeast Asia which later spread to the other areas; (2) North Pacific rim distribution of the ancestral abalone, followed by dispersal to the other areas during the Paleogene.}, author = {Lee, Y.-H. and Vacquier, V.D.} } @article {8382, title = {Structure of a Mediterranean cryptobenthic fish community and its relationships with habitat characteristics}, journal = {Marine BiologyMarine Biology}, volume = {149}, year = {2006}, pages = {149-167}, keywords = {kape pisces}, author = {La Mesa, G. and Di Muccio, S. and Vacchi, M.} } @article {8017, title = {Development of the skull in Dentex dentex (Osteichthyes: Sparidae)}, journal = {Marine BiologyMarine Biology}, volume = {136}, number = {1}, year = {2000}, pages = {175-184}, publisher = {Springer}, keywords = {Pisces}, author = {Koumoundouros, G. and Divanach, P. and Kentouri, M.} } @article {8018, title = {Osteological development of Dentex dentex (Osteichthyes: Sparidae): dorsal, anal, paired fins and squamation}, journal = {Marine BiologyMarine Biology}, volume = {138}, number = {2}, year = {2001}, pages = {399-406}, publisher = {Springer}, keywords = {Pisces}, author = {Koumoundouros, G. and Divanach, P. and Kentouri, M.} } @article {8019, title = {Osteological development of the vertebral column and of the fins in Diplodus sargus (Teleostei: Perciformes: Sparidae)}, journal = {Marine BiologyMarine Biology}, volume = {139}, number = {5}, year = {2001}, pages = {853-862}, publisher = {Springer}, keywords = {Pisces}, author = {Koumoundouros, G. and Sfakianakis, D. and Maingot, E. and Divanach, P. and Kentouri, M.} } @article {7575, title = {Vertical community structure and ontogenetic distribution of chaetognaths in upper pelagic waters of the eastern Mediterranean.}, journal = {Marine BiologyMarine Biology}, volume = {19}, number = {4}, year = {1994}, pages = {647-653}, author = {Kehayias, G. and Fragopoulu, N. and Lykakis, J.} } @article {7454, title = {Density surface modelling with line transect sampling as a tool for abundance estimation of marine benthic species: The Pinna nobilis example in a marine lake}, journal = {Marine BiologyMarine Biology}, volume = {152}, number = {1}, year = {2007}, note = {Cited By (since 1996): 19Export Date: 8 November 2011Source: Scopus}, pages = {77-85}, author = {Katsanevakis, S.} } @article {6067, title = {Vertical distribution and nocturnal migration of zooplankton in relation to the development of the seasonal thermocline in Patraikos Gulf.}, journal = {Marine biologyMarine Biology}, volume = {104}, number = {3}, year = {1990}, pages = {381-387}, author = {Fragopoulou, N. and Lykakis, J.

As a consequence, the foraging grounds off the North-African coast and the Gimnesies Islands are shown to be inhabited mainly by turtles of the Atlantic stocks, whereas the foraging grounds off the European shore of the western Mediterranean are shown to be inhabited mainly by turtles from the eastern Mediterranean rookeries. This structuring is explained by the pattern of sea surface currents and water masses and suggests that immature loggerhead sea turtles entering the western Mediterranean from the Atlantic and the eastern Mediterranean remain linked to particular water masses, with a limited exchange of turtles between water masses.
