Abstract

Comparing the findings on fish eggs and larvae with phytoplankton findings, it is seen that the density and the diversity is higher at stations of Hisarönü Gulf and Yesilova Gulf, rich in terms of organic substances. Thus, this circumstance causes increase in planktonic activities.

According to this study, the high level alive eggs and larval development observed in the pointed out to the suitability of the region for development of the eggs and larvae. Particularly existence of well protected bays at the region serving as shelter accumulates food and keeps the water circulation at appropriate levels for development of larva increase the importance of the region for ichthyoplankton.
