- Abstract
The article presents a research study on trichodinids. Samples of gills of Merlanguis melangus euxinus were taken from the Eastern Black Sea coast of Turkey by line and hooks to determine if there are seasonal variations on the morphology of the selected trichidinid species, Trichodina sp., such as denticle span, blade length and ray length. Description of the sampled species is offered. Also examined are the link of primary production in the Black Sea on the new generation of trichodinid denticles. Based on the findings, the research offers recommendations in describing these species.
