Özet

Twenty-nine species of 12 calcareous nannoplankton genera have been recognized in an investigation of 100 surface samples from Gokceada-Bozcaada-Dardanelles triangle in the northeastern Aegean Sea. Emiliana huxleyi (Lohmann) is the dominant species; the diversity of nannofossils increases proportionally with water depth, salinity, and temperature from the Dardanelles to the Aegean Sea. In the studied area, subtropical-warm species exceed those of the subtropical-cool regime. Coccolithus pelagicus (Wallich) and Gephyrocapsa caribbeanica Boudreaux and Hay, which represent the subtropical-cool waters, display an increase in abundances at the exit of Dardanelles. In contrast, Gephyrocapsa oceanica Kamptner and Syracosphaera pulchra Lohmann, which represent the subtropical-warm waters, display an increase in abundance away from the exit of Dardanelles to the Aegean Sea.
