Abstract
In this study, it is aimed to determine some physico-chemical parameters on the Turkey coasts. pH, temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, conductivity, phosphate and ammonium nitrogen parameters were determined. The sampling were carried out from 56 points (17 The Black Sea, 15 The Marmara Sea, 13 The Aegean Sea and 11 The Mediterranean), once a year, during the summer-fall period, between 2014-2016. In the Black Sea, mean pH 8.25, temperature 26.53 degrees C, salinity 16.84 parts per thousand, dissolved oxygen 5.45 mg/L, turbidity 2.77 mg/L, conductivity 26574 mu S/cm, phosphate 10.87 mu g/L and ammonium nitrogen 0.046 mg/L; in the Marmara Sea, mean pH 8.18, temperature 25.56 degrees C, salinity 22.27 parts per thousand, dissolved oxygen 5.56 mg/L, turbidity 1.15 mg/L, conductivity 34977 mu S/cm, phosphate 11.14 mu g/L and ammonium nitrogen 0.112 mg/L; in the Aegean Sea, mean pH 8.01, temperature 26.87 degrees C, salinity 35.69 parts per thousand, dissolved oxygen 5.40 mg/L, turbidity 2.08 mg/L, conductivity 53867 mu S/cm, phosphate 9.72 mu g/L and ammonium nitrogen 0.023 mg/L; in the Mediterranean, mean pH 7.87, temperature 28.58 degrees C, salinity 36.01 parts per thousand, dissolved oxygen 4.61 mg/L, turbidity 0.55 mg/L, conductivity 54259 mu S/cm, phosphate 7.90 mu g/L and ammonium nitrogen 0.024 mg/L were found.
