Distribution of Macrozoobenthic Invertebrates in the South Marmara Sea

Scleractinian diversity in the Dardanelles and Marmara Sea (Turkey): morphology, ecology and distributional patterns

“…e Dardanelles (Çanakkale Strait) as part of the Turk sh Stra ts, has served as a s gn f cant sampl ng area n other researches. When cons der ng the current knowledge, it can be observed that there are a number of ongoing investigations into the benthic invertebrate fauna of the strait (Çelik et al 2007;Palaz et al 2010;Ateş et al 2014). During the rst regional ROV observations referred to as the MARNAUT cruise onboard the French R/V L'Atalante around the deep-water coral sites in the Marmara Sea (Çınarcık Basin), Desmophyllum dianthus was discovered for the rst time between 900 and 1200 m (Taviani et al 2011).…”
