title: Seasonal Zooplankton Distribution and Species Composition in the Eastern Sea of Marmara
abstract: Seasonal changes in the composition and abundance of zooplankton and their responses to environmental changes were investigated at 30 stations in the upper layer and 13 stations in the lower layer (in February, May, July, and December) of the Eastern Marmara Sea in 2016. A total of 44 species/groups (including jellyfish species) were documented in the study area, with 39 identified in the upper layer water and 31 in the lower layer water. The abundances of zooplankton ranged from 29 to 2822 ind.
