title: Seasonal Distribution of Gelatinous Macrozooplankton in the Hamsilos Bay, Southern Black Sea, Turkey
abstract: The present study describes the abundance and biomass distribution of gelatinous macrozooplankton in relation to physical parameters in Hamsilos Bay. Gelatinous macrozooplankton samples were collected monthly from four stations between July 2015 and June 2016 using a plankton net with a 112 μm mesh size and a 50 cm diameter mouth opening by vertical hauls. Four gelatinous macrozooplankton species were identified: Aurelia aurita (Linnaeus, 1758); Mnemiopsis leidyi A. Agassiz, 1865; Beroe ovata Br
