Project Name:

Possible Effects of Atmospheric Macro/Micro Nutrient Salt Inputs on Mucilage Events Observed in the Sea of Marmara

Funding Scheme:

 TÜBİTAK 1001 Mucilage

Type:

 National

Coordinator Organisation:

 METU-IMS

Contact Point:

 Assoc. Prof. Mustafa Koçak

Duration:

9 Months

Start-End Date:

 2021-2022

Aim:
The aim of the project is to reveal the effect of macro and micronutrient salt fluxes on primary production observed in the Marmara Sea by collecting atmospheric samples and on the other hand, to reveal the relationship between phytoplankton abundance and possible mucilage-producing species by adding macro and micro nutrient salts to Marmara surface waters in vitro with micro-cosm experiments.
