From Black Sea Phytoplankton checklist
M.Turkoglu, T.Koray, 2002. Phytoplankton species succession and nutrients in the Southern Black Sea (Bay of Sinop), Turkish Journal of Botany 26 (2002), pp. 235–252.
Status: List almost fully included in the Black Sea phytoplankton checklist (except 3 species)
Period: 1995 - 1996
Group: Phytoplankton
Area: Southern Black Sea (Bay of Sinop)
In this study, the samples were collected with a 55 µm plankton net and Hydro-Bios Universal Series Water Sampler (5 litres) from the sampling stations in the neritic waters of the Sinop peninsula in the southern part of the Black Sea.
They were collected at monthly intervals between August 1995 and July 1996. Qualitative samples were fixed with formaldehyde
(final concentration of 2-4%) and quantitative samples were fixed with Lugol (for 5 litres, 12.5 cc) and were preserved at 2-4¼C in a refrigerator pending microscopic examination. Quantitative samples were taken over monthly periods from the surface water (0.5 m) at fixed sampling points. During the investigation, 150 qualitative and 120 quantitative samples were collected. For enumeration of the phytoplankton species, Uterhmohl Sedimentation Chambers, and Neubauer and Sedgwick-Rafter Counting Slides were used in combination
according to the dimensions of the organisms (Guillard,1978; Hasle, 1978; Venrick, 1978).
