%0 Journal Article %T First Reproduction Record of Planktonic Unarmored Dinoflagellates Ceratoperidinium falcatum (Kofoid & Swezy) Re£¿¨¦ & Salas, 2013 in £¿zmir Bay (Aegean Sea) %A Fatma £¿olak Sabanc£¿ %J - %D 2018 %X With the aim of determining the species diversity of unarmoured dinoflagellates, samplings were carried out from 3 stations in £¿zmir Bay during June 2017. This study identified unarmoured dinoflagellat species Ceratoperidinium falcatum from the collected material. Ceratoperidinium falcatum abundance varied from 658 to 840 cells L¨C 1 during this period in sea water temperature at 15.0 ¡æ and salinity of 38.6. The width of cell varies from 23.90 to 36.60 ¦Ìm and the length of cell varies from 92.50 to 239 ¦Ìm. This paper reports the first bloom record of the Ceratoperidinium falcatum species in the £¿zmir Bay (Aegean Sea) and morphological characteristics of this species were given in detail information, distrubition and original photographs %K z£¿rhs£¿z dinoflagellat %K Fitoplankton %K Ceratoperidinium falcatum %K ilk ¨¹reme kayd£¿ %K £¿zmir K£¿rfezi %U http://dergipark.org.tr/jmsf/issue/38541/421967
