Morphometric Characteristics of Invasive Species Magallana gigas (Thunberg, 1793) in Bandırma Bay, Marmara Sea
Türkiye’s seas are the scene of the spread of invasive species in the entire Mediterranean basin due to the marine transportation of alien species and intensive aquaculture activities. In order to protect the natural ecosystem and track invasive species’ effects, these species must first be accurate...
