Türkiye’nin toplam su ürünleri üretimi son yıllarda az da olsa giderek azalmaktadır. Bu azalış avcılıktan kaynaklanmaktadır. Avcılığın tersine yetiştiricilik üretimi ise giderek hızla artmaktadır. Toplam su ürünleri üretiminin yaklaşık 1/5’i ihracata konu olurken, su ürünleri dış ticaret hacmi, miktar ve değer olarak giderek hızla artmaktadır. Tarımdaki gelişimin aksine, su ürünleri dış ticaret dengesi, ihracattaki hızlı artışa paralel olarak giderek artan bir şekilde fazla vermektedir. Bu miktar 2016 yılında yaklaşık 610 milyon $’a ulaşmıştır. Su ürünleri ihracatının kaynağını büyük ölçüde yetiştiricilik oluşturmaktadır. İhracat değeri içerisinde levrek (%24), çipura (%21) ve alabalık (%13) başta gelen türlerdir. İhracat pazarları arasında, %65’lik payı ile AB ülkeleri başta gelirken, AB’ni %6,6 ile Japonya, %5,9 ile Rusya, %3,9 ile Lübnan, %3,5 ile ABD izlemektedir. Türkiye’nin su ürünleri dış pazarlamasındaki en büyük sorunu; uluslararası normlara uygun satış ve işlemedeki eksikliklerdir. Nitekim ihracatın yaklaşık %55’ini taze ya da soğutulmuş balıklar oluştururken, %25’ini balık filetoları ve %9’unu dondurulmuş şeklindeki işlenmiş balıkların oluşturduğu gözlenmektedir. Öte yandan, özellikle son yıllarda yetiştiricilikte yem fiyatlarından dolayı yaşanan olumsuzluklar avcılık stoklarını, dolayısıyla dış ticareti de etkilemektedir. Nitekim toplam üretim içinde %49’luk paya sahip olan hamsilerin yaklaşık yarısı, çaça balıklarının ise neredeyse tamamı balık unu ve yağı için kullanıldığından herbivor ve omnivor türlerin yetiştiriciliği gündeme gelmektedir. Bu çalışmada daha çok istatistiksel kaynaklardan sağlanan ikincil veriler ve bu konuda yapılmış çalışma sonuçlarından yararlanılmıştır. Bu çerçevede su ürünleri üretim ve dış ticaretindeki gelişmeler değerlendirilerek, su ürünleri dış ticaretinde karşılaşılan sorunlar ile bu sorunlara yönelik çözüm önerilerinin tartışılması amaçlanmıştır.

This study was carried out to determine the concentrations of some heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cr and Fe) in Diopatra neapolitana (Delle Chiaje, 1841) and sediments in the middle region of İzmir Bay. In the two-year period between autumn 2002 and summer 2004, it has been determined that metal concentrations in D. neapolitana vary over time. The order of accumulation of metal concentrates in D. neapolitana was determined as Cd

The hybrid seeds obtained by crossing in wheats should be heavier and a greater number of grains per combination because of more variation and to created powerful plants for next year generations. Therefore, this study was conducted during the winter growing season of 2005-2006 in Transitional Zone Agricultural Research Institute in Eskişehir and to determine the hybrid seeds of single cross and three-way cross compared to each other for 10-grains weight (TGW) and grain number per combination (GC) in separately bread wheat and durum wheat. 224 F1s for single cross and 326 F1s for three-way cross in bread wheat and 56 F1s for single cross and 66 F1s for three-way cross in durum wheat were produced. According to results, GC and TGW in bread wheats were higher values than durum wheats both in single cross and three-way cross. The GC values in three-way cross had higher variation (68.9%) compared the others. The separately mean of GC and TGW of hybrids in single cross both in bread and durum wheat were lower than the means of hybrids in three-way cross (with ratios of 32% and 16.7%, respectively). In brief: three-way cross had more performance for studied traits in wheat hybrids compared to single cross. The reason of such an outcome can be demonstrated in the future by genetic studies.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Kapıaçmaz Göleti zooplankton faunasının tespiti ve mevsimsel değişiminin belirlenmesidir. Zooplankton örnekleri Temmuz 2017 - Haziran 2018 tarihleri arasında mevsimsel olarak, belirlenen 2 istasyondan 55 μm göz açıklığında plankton kepçesi kullanılarak, yatay çekimlerle toplanmıştır. Zooplanktonda Rotifera grubundan 17 Cladocera grubundan 4 ve Copepoda grubundan 3 tür olmak üzere toplam 24 tür tespit edilmiştir. Zooplankton gruplarının toplam birey sayılarına göre Rotifera en baskın (%72,42) grup olup, bunu Cladocera (%33,70) ve Copepoda (%17,32) izlemiştir.

The aim of this study was to isolate, purify and determine host ranges of bacteriophages infecting Escherichia coli O157:H7 from different environment such as river/stream water, sewage, raw food, animal troughs, wastewaters of food processing plants, slaughterhouse and fish farms. For screening of E. coli O157:H7 bacteriophages, 92 samples were used. It was found that in respect to anti-E. coli O157:H7 bacteriophages, food processing wastewaters, sewage and slaughterhouse wastewaters are the richest sources, and streams, troughs and fisheries wastewater are rich in the middle, and raw foods were the poorest source. A total of 37 phages were isolated and purified. The phages counts of the purified samples were changed among 30×103 - 34×108 PFU/mL. The isolated phages were generally infective against E. coli O157:H7 and E. coli strains and 81.08% of the phages (30 out of 37) formed clear plaques and were capable to lyse at least 1 out of 5 E. coli O157:H7 strains. In addition to E. coli, some phages were capable to infect some Salmonella enterica serovars. This results show that inhibitor spectra of the phages were wide.

The research was carried out to investigate the effect of plant materials which are used as an alternative to synthetic chemicals in organic agriculture (thyme, mint, basil and garlic oil, hot pepper, and neem tree seed extract) and some organic acids (salicylic and jasmonic acid) on the germination, emergence, and seedling traits in broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) cv. Jade. The seeds of broccoli treated with these materials were subjected to germination and emergence tests at 20±1°C and 60±5% RH in autumn period. After that, all seeds (including untreated) were kept at 5±1°C and again evaluated for germination, emergence, and seedling traits in spring period. In spring period, the seeds treated with neem seed extract gave highest germination percentage (91.75%). Also, they germinated in shortest time (3.80 days). The lowest germination/emergence percentage and highest mean germination/emergence time was obtained from the seeds treated with thyme oil in both periods. The seeds treated with basil oil had the higher infected seedlings than others. There were no significant differences among treatments in term of seedling traits (except leaf number).

In Ordu, which is located in the Eastern Black Sea Region in Turkey, there is a significant tourism mobility especially in recent years. Having a rich tourism potential, Ordu has become a center of attraction for culture and nature tourism. In this study; the contribution of tourism and recreation potential of Boztepe in the city of Ordu to the image of the city was investigated in the first stage. The Gülez method was used to determine the recreation potential and the recreation potential was determined as "Too High" according to the assessment criteria set out by the method. In the second step, a randomized questionnaire study was conducted with random sampling technique with 100 people, and as a result it was determined that Boztepe was seen as a component contributing to the image of the city. In the last stage, SWOT analysis for the area was applied to reveal the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the field.

This research was conducted during 2016-2017 awheat growing season to investigate the effects of different rates of seed coating of an organic acid mixture (citric acid, glutamate, and proline) on yield and quality of wheat. The field experiments were established in Dogankent and Haciali locations of Eastern Mediterranean Agricultural Research Institute in Turkey. Study was carried out with randomised complete block design with 4 replications and Ceyhan-99 bread wheat variety was used as seed material. Before seeding, wheat seeds were coated with organic acid mixture product (0.75% citric acid, 0.25% glutamate, 0.25% proline, 2% Zn and 96.75 water), in three different doses (500 ml ton-1, 1 l ton-1, 1.5 l ton-1) to compare with control (uncoated). There were statistically significant differences at 5% level in 1000 grain weight and grain yield values in Dogankent location and 1000 grain weight, grain yield and number of spikes in Hacialilocation. Highest yield values were obtained from 500 ml t-1 application dose for both locations. With 500 ml t-1 application dose at Dogankent location, grain yield was 11.9 t ha-1 which was 8.97% higher over control. In Hacali location, 500 ml t-1 application dose was increased yield by 15.96% compared to control which resulted with 10.5 t ha-1 grain yield. No statistically significant difference was observed in quality characteristics (protein, gluten, hardiness and sedimentation) in trials.
