FAUNA OF YILDIZ MOUNTAINS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Thrace is the only region of Turkey that lies geographically in Europe, which is why some faunal
elements in Turkey occur only in Thrace. The Yildiz Mountains are among the most important
natural areas in Thrace because of their unique ecological features, such as longos (swamp)
forests and undisturbed mixed forests.
Due to the lack of comprehensive data concerning the diversity of Mammals, Reptiles,
Amphibians, Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) and Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) in
the forests and coastal areas of Yıldız Mountains, a field survey is essential for inventory and
management planning purposes. Thus, the aim of this survey was to examine fauna diversity
(except avifauna) in support of Biosphere management planning.
Field trips were undertaken between June and August 2009. The main focus of the fauna survey
was to cover different habitat types representative of the area proposed for the establishment of
the Yildiz Mountains Biosphere. Lepidoptera, odonata, fresh water fishes, marine fishes,
amphibians, reptiles, small mammals, tree-dwelling rodents, large mammals and tree-dwelling
bats were included in this survey.
Six main habitat types were surveyed for mammals and Lepidoptera, as follows: 1.) Longos
forests, 2.) agricultural fields, 3.) open areas inside forests, 4.) mixed forests, 5.) shrubs along
streams, and 6.) pine plantations. In addition, suitable habitats such as water courses, way sides
and grass areas were opportunistically checked for Lepidoptera. Small mammals were surveyed
in each of these habitats using approximately 100 traps, each set for 3-4 consecutive days and
checked daily. Transects within each of the habitat types were also walked in order to search for
mammals and their signs (droppings, tracks etc.). During the survey, habitats seen as suitable for
Odonata were searched and, as for Lepidoptera, specimens sampled were photographed.
Herpetofauna (amphibians and reptiles), tree-dwelling bats and tree-dwelling rodents were
sampled within 36 locations within the main habitat types. Nets were used to catch amphibians
in aquatic systems. In the case of tree-dwelling bats and dormice, live traps and mist nets were
used, respectively.
Freshwater fish were sampled at 28 sites (6 lakes and 16 streams) in each of the seven river
basins of the Project area, using a variety of nets and electro-fishing. Marine fish were sampled
by means of bottom-trawling in three locations offshore and also by skin diving.
A full list of species recorded within the proposed Yıldız Mountains Biosphere, based on the
results of this survey and previous studies, is summarised in the Table below for the main
taxonomic groups, together with details of their threatened status. Key findings and
recommendations are given in following sections for each taxonomic group.
Odonata
Two species of damselfly and five species of dragonfly were newly recorded. None of the
damselflies and only a small number of dragonflies has been assessed with respect to their
conservation status. None is threatened but the Bulgarian Emerald (Somatochlora borisi
=Corduliochlora borisi), which is endemic to the Balkans, is Near Threatened. No species is listed
in Appendix-II or Appendix-III of the Bern Convention.
Odonata prefer aquatic habitats such as creeks, lakes, streams and wetlands. To protect such
habitats irrigation activities and dam building activities must be carefully planned and managed.
Also water bodies must be protected from pollutants such as sewage effluents and pesticides.

*This is an approximate total number of marine fish species occurring within the Black Sea.
Lepidoptera
In the absence of any previous inventory for the Project area, a total of 42 species of moth and
75 species of butterfly have been recorded for the first time in the current study. The latter total
represents 66% of butterfly species recorded in Kirklareli Province. None of the 117 species of
Lepidoptera has been evaluated with respect to their conservation status, with the exception of
the Large Copper (Lycena dispar), which is at Lower Risk. No species is listed in Appendix-II or
Appendix-III of the Bern Convention.
Lepidoptera especially prefer open areas inside the forest, meadows and open areas along the
ways, creeks and streams. Such areas should be protected and, in particular, open areas inside
forests should not be re-afforested.
Freshwater fishes
Six species were newly recorded for the first time as follows: Alosa caspia, Knipowitschia
caucasica, Lepomis gibbosus, Liza aurata, Neogobius eurycephalus and Oncorhynchus mykiss. Of
the 35 species inventoried, two species are Vulnerable, Crimea barbel (Barbus tauricus
escherichi) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio), and seven species are listed in Appendix III of
the Bern Convention.
Key findings from the survey of 28 sites are as follows:

Cyprinidae is the most diverse family with 14 taxa, followed by Gobiidae with 7 taxa.

Species diversity within the 7 stream basins surveyed, in order of importance, is Bulanık
Stream (with 18 species), Yavuz Stream (17), Rezve River (15), Pabuç Stream (13)
Çavuşköprü Stream (12), Kazan Stream (7) and Şahin Stream (5).

Barbus tauricus escherichi is the most widely distributed species (recorded at 16 stations),
followed by Phoxinus phoxinus (15), Alburnus chalcoides and Squalius cephalus (10),
Alburnoides bipunctatus and Gobio gobio (9) and Salmo trutta (7 stations). Other species
exist in one or a few stations.
Yildiz Mountains Biosphere Project Report Series No. 4

FAUNA OF YILDIZ MOUNTAINS

The main threats to freshwater fish are water transfer schemes, domestic sewage
(especially in tourist areas) and alien species (e.g. Oncorhynchus mykiss, Carassius gibelio,
Gambusia affinis and Lepomis gibbosus) entering aquatic systems.
Marine fishes
Kirklareli Province has 60 km of coastline, all of which lies within the proposed Yildiz Mountains
Biosphere. Although it constitutes only 4.3% of the entire Turkish Black Sea coast, the local
ichthyofauna is rich and requires appropriate management measures to protect biodiversity and
sustain its utilisation as a fishery.
Three species were recorded for the first time within the coastal waters just offshore from the
Project area, namely Parablennius incognitus, P. zvonimiri and Salaria pavo, all of which are
considered to be nationally Vulnerable (Fricke, 2007). They have not been previously recorded
from Turkish Thrace. Of the 121 species of marine fish recorded during this survey, one species
is Critically Endangered (angel shark, Squatina squatina), four are Endangered (three sturgeon
fishes, Acipenser nudiventris, A. gueldenstaedtii, A. stellatus and beluga, Huso huso) and three are
Vulnerable (piked dogfish, Squalus acanthias, Gymnura altavela and Alosa immaculate) at global
level; and 54 species are nationally threatened. Eleven species are listed in Annexes II and III of
the Bern Convention.
The only non-indigenous species recorded off the Kirklareli coast is the Pacific mullet (Liza
haematocheila). This species feeds on small bottom-living organisms and, thus, does not appear
to compete with native grey mullet. It is caught by local fishermen from Kirklareli but has
low/moderate commercial value.
Commercial fishery activities off the Kirklareli coast are concentrated on a few species: turbot,
red mullet and whiting are fished by bottom trawlers; and Atlantic bonito, bluefish and anchovy
are main species caught in purse-seine nets. Since several schooling fish species migrate (in
counter-clockwise direction) from the northern Black Sea to Turkish coasts, huge numbers of
fishery vessels equipped with hi-tech instruments congregate around the ports of Kirklareli at
the beginning of the fishing season. Signs of overfishing are evident, with sharp declines in the
population of highly esteemed turbot and Atlantic bonito reported by fishermen and
substantiated by the official fishery statistics. For example, Atlantic bonito production decreased
almost 20-fold from 30,000 tonnes in 2005 to 1,500 tonnes in 2007.
The coastal waters of Kirklareli have been overlooked with respect to ichthyological research.
Concrete data are required to regulate local fisheries and the population dynamics of highly
commercial species should be studied, in order to determine maximum sustainable yields and
permissible off takes. The minimum landing sizes given in the official Fishery Bulletin should
also be revised accordingly in the light of scientific research results. Special emphasis should be
given to research on threatened species, especially for those commercially exploited, to inform
the development of appropriate conservation policies and other measures.
Amphibians and Reptiles
No species of amphibian or reptile was newly recorded from within the Project area; and none is
threatened, although four reptile species are Near Threatened. Eight and 13 species of
amphibians and reptiles, respectively, are listed in Annexes II and III of the Bern Convention.
The main threats that need to be addressed are as follows:

Removal of old, especially hole-bearing trees, negatively impacts all faunal elements. In
particular, some snakes and lizards reside or shelter in or under fallen, rotting trees. Thus,
places where forestry activities are not taking place should be protected from disturbance.

Both spur-thighed and Herman tortoises (Testuda greaca and T. hermanni), as well as
marsh frog (Rana ridibunda) are collected from the region and exported, despite their
protection under the provisions of the Bern Convention (Annexes II and III). Proper
enforcement measures are required to control such illegal activities.
Yildiz Mountains Biosphere Project Report Series No. 4

FAUNA OF YILDIZ MOUNTAINS

Damming of streams that flow into the Black Sea in order to provide drinking water for
Istanbul not only negatively affects Longos forests fed by these streams but also the
reduced water flows in these streams threatens aquatic life, including amphibians, water
snakes and fishes.
Mammals
One mammal, Gunther’s vole (Microtus guentheri) was recorded for the first time within the
Project area. Four of the 66 mammal species are Vulnerable: marbled polecat (Vormela
peregusna) and three species of bats, Rhinolophus euryale, Rhinolophus mehelyi, and Myotis capaccinii.
The otter (Lutra lutra) is Near Threatened. Seven species are listed in Annexes II and 13 species
in Annex III of the Bern Convention.
The blind mole rat, Nannospalax leucodon, was excluded from the mammal inventory for the
proposed Yıldız Mountains Biosphere since no new records were obtained during the survey. It
is thought that previous records may have resulted from misinterpretation of mole burrows,
Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus) was also excluded in the absence of any new
records in recent decades.
Trapping proved to be a moderately effective means of generating information on small
mammal species diversity and abundance in different habitats, with an overall success rate of
19%.. Longos forest was by far the richest habitat for small mammals, based on a 46% rate of
trapping, followed by open forest and streams with an understory of shrubs, and then pine
plantation. Least productive in terms of small mammals is agricultural field. The higher
productivity of pine plantation versus mixed forest with respect to small mammals is surprising,
especially since pine forest does not occur naturally in Turkish Thrace. This warrants further
investigation, especially given the small sample size.
No specific threats were identified with respect to small mammals. The main threat to large
mammals, such as roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) and red deer (Cervus elaphus), is illegal
hunting. C. elaphus sometimes crosses from the Bulgarian side of the border into Turkey but only
a few ever return because of hunting on the Turkish side. Thus, protection from hunting is a prerequisite to the re-establishment of healthy breeding populations. It is also important to
maintain a mosaic of open and closed canopy forest as open areas are important as grazing and
rutting grounds.
In summary, the proposed Yildiz Mountains Biosphere supports an important and diverse fauna,
representing 40% or more of Tureky’s mammal and amphibian species and 70% of the Black
Sea’s marine fishes. Protection from over-exploitation by hunting, fishing and collection for the
wildlife trade, along with water damming and water transfer schemes, and inappropriate forest
management practices are the key threats that need to be addressed.

ÖZET
Trakya Bölgesi Türkiye’nin Avrupa’daki tek parçasıdır. Bu yüzden Türkiye’deki bazı fauna
elemanları sadece Trakya’da bulunmaktadır. Trakya’daki Yıldız Dağları Bölgesi, subasar
ormanları ve bozulmamış ormanları gibi eşsiz ekolojik özelliklere sahip olması bakımından
Trakya’daki en önemli doğal alanlardan birisidir.
Yıldız Dağları ormanlık ve sahil alanlarında memeliler, sürüngenler, amfibiler, balıklar,
mayısböcekleri, kelebekler hakkında ayrıntılı verilerin eksik olmasından dolayı envanter
hazırlamak amacıyla ve yönetim planlaması amaçlarıyla arazi çalışmaları yapılması
kaçınılmazdı.
Arazi çalışmaları Temmuz ve Ağustos 2009 arasında yapıldı. Arazi çalışmalarında başlıca, Yıldız
Dağları Biyosferinin oluşturulması için önerilen alanın temsilcisi olan farklı habitat tiplerine
odaklanıldı. Bu çalışmada lepidopterler, odonatlar, tatlısu balıkları, deniz balıkları, amfibiler,
sürüngenler, küçük memeliler, ağaçta yaşayan kemiriciler, büyük memeliler ve ağaçta yaşayan
yarasalar değerlendirildi.
Lepidopterler ve memelier için başlıca altı temel habitat tipi çalılışdı, bu habitat tipleri şunlardır:
1.) Longos olarak adlandırılan subasar ormanlar, 2.) Tarım alanları, 3.) orman içi açıklıklar, 4.)
Karışık ormanlar, 5.) Dereler boyunca uzanan çalılıklar, 6.) Çam ekim alanları. İlave olarak, arazi
çalışması süresince dere yatakları, yol kenarları ve çayırlıklar gibi alanlar da lepidopter
örneklerini belirlemek için tesadüfî olarak kontrol edildi. Küçük memeliler her habitat tipinde
yaklaşık 100 kapan kullanılarak çalışıldı. Kapanlar 3-4 ardışık gün kuruldu ve günlük olarak
kontrol edildi. Her habitat tipi içinde belirlenen transektler boyunca yüründü ve memeliler ve
bunlara ait izler (dışkılar, izler vb.) araştırıldı. Arazi çalışması boyunca Lepidoptera’da olduğu
gibi Odonata için uygun görülen habitatlar da araştırıldı ve gözlenen örnekler fotoğraflandı.
Herpetofauna (amfibiler ve sürüngenler), ağaçlarda yaşayan yarasalar ve ağaçlarda yaşayan
kemiriciler başlıca habitat tiplerindeki 36 lokaliteden örneklendi. Sucul ortamlarda amfibi
örneklerini yakalamak için ağlar kullanıldı. Ağaç yarasaları ve ağaç kemiricilerini yakalamak için
ise sırasıyla canlı yakalama kapanları ve yarasa ağı kullanıldı.
Tatlısu balıkları, proje alanındaki 7 nehir sisteminde yer alan 28 alandan (6 göl ve 16 akarsu)
çeşitli tiplerdeki ağlar ve elektroşoker ile örneklendi. Deniz balıkları ise açıkta dip tirolü ağları,
sahile yakın kesimlerde ise tüpsüz dalışlarla örneklendi.
Önerilen Yıldız Dağları Biyosferinden kaydedilen türlerin, bu çalışmaya ve literatür taramasına
dayanarak hazırlanan, bütün bir listesi aşağıdaki tabloda büyük taksonomik gruplar altında
tehlike durumlarına ait detaylar ile birlikte özetlendi. Alttaki bölümlerde anahtar niteliğindeki
bulgular ve öneriler her bir taksonomik grup için verildi.
Odonata
Mayıs böceklerinin 2 türü ve ejder böceklerinin 5 türü ilk kez kaydedildi. Mayıs böceklerinin hiç
birisi koruma statülerine göre değerlendirilmemiş, ejder böceklerinin ise sadece az sayıda türü
değerlendirilmiş durumdadır. Balkanlara endemik ve Near Threatened (NT) olarak listelenmiş
olan Somatochlora borisi =Corduliochlora borisi dışında hiçbir tür tehlike kategorilerinde yer
almamaktadır. Hiçbir tür Bern Sözleşmesi Ek-II veya Ek-III listelerinde yer almamaktadır.
Odonatlar dereler, göller, akarsular ve sulak alanlar gibi sucul ortamları tercih ederler. Bu tip
habitatları korumak için sulama faaliyetleri ve baraj yapımı gibi etkinliklerin çok dikkatli bir
şekilde planlanması ve yönetilmesi zorunludur. Ayrıca su kaynaklarının foseptik atıklardan ve
korunması zorunludur.

Lepidoptera
Proje alanında daha önce yapılan bir çalışma bulunmaması durumunda 42 güve ve 75 kelebek
türü proje alanından ilk kez bu çalışmada kaydedildi. Çalışma alanından kaydedilen toplam tür
sayısı Kırklareli’nden kaydedilen tür sayısının % 66’sını oluşturmaktadır. Kaydedilen 117
Lepidopter türünden, Düşük Risk kategorisinde bulunan Lycena dispar hariç, hiç birisi koruma

Lepidopterler özellikle orman içi açıklıklar, çayırlar ile yollar, dereler ve nehirler boyunca
görülen açık alanları tercih eder. Bu tür alanlar korunmalı ve özellikle orman içi açıklıklar
ağaçlandırılmadan bırakılmalıdır.
Tatlısu balıkları
Tatlusu balıkların altı tür ilk defa kaydedildi, bunlar şunlardır: Alosa caspia, Knipowitschia
caucasica, Lepomis gibbosus, Liza aurata, Neogobius eurycephalus ve Oncorhynchus mykiss..
Kaydedilen 35 türden iki tür (Barbus tauricus escherichi ve Cyprinus carpio) VU kategorisindedir,
ve yedi tür Bern Sözleşmesi Ek-III listesinde yer almaktadır.
Alnada çalışılan 28 lokaliteye göre elde edilen anahtar bulgular şöyledir:

Cyprinidae 14 takson ile en yaygın familyadır, bunu 7 takson ile Gobiidae takip etmektedir.

Çalışılan 7 akarsu havzasının tür çeşitliliği önem sırasına göre şöyledir: Bulanık Deresi (18
tür), Yavuz Deresi (17), Rezve Deresi (15), Pabuç Deresi (13) Çavuşköprü Deresi (12),
Kazan Deresi (7) ve Şahin Deresi (5).

Barbus tauricus escherichi en yaygın türdür (16 istasyondan kaydedildi), bunu sırası ile
Phoxinus phoxinus (15), Alburnus chalcoides and Squalius cephalus (10), Alburnoides
bipunctatus ile Gobio gobio (9) ve Salmo trutta (7 stations) takip etmektedir. Diğer türler
sadece bir veya birkaç istasyondan kaydedildi.

FAUNA OF YILDIZ MOUNTAINS

Tatlısu balıkları için başlıca tehditler su taşıma etkinlikleri, evsel atıksular (özellikle
turistik alanlarda) ve sucul sistemlere yabancı türlerdir (ör. Oncorhynchus mykiss,
Carassius gibelio, Gambusia affinis ve Lepomis gibbosus).
Deniz Balıkları
Kırklareli ili, tamamı Yıldız Dağları Biyosfer projesi kapsamında bulunan 60 km’lik kıyı şeridine
sahiptir. Her ne kadar Türkiye’nin Karadeniz kıyılarının sadece %4.3’lük kısmını oluşturuyor
olsa da, bölgesel balık faunası oldukça zengin olup biyoçeşitliliğin korunması ve bu kaynakların
balıkçılık açısından sürdürebilirliğinin sağlanması amacıyla gerekli önlemlerin alınması
gereklidir.
Proje alanının kıyısal sularında, hepsi ulusal ölçekte “hassas” olarak tanımlanan (Fricke ve diğ.,
2007) üç tür (Parablennius incognitus, P. zvonimiri ve Salaria pavo) ilk defa rapor edilmiştir. Söz
konusu türlerin, Türkiye’nin Trakya kıyılarından daha önce kaydı bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışma
esnasında rapor edilen toplam 121 deniz balığından global ölçekte bir tür “kritik” (keler,
Squatina squatina), dört tür “tehlikede” (mersin balıkları, Acipenser nudiventris, A.
gueldenstaedtii, A. stellatus ve Huso huso), ve üç tür “hassas” (mahmuzlu camgöz, Squalus
acanthias; kazıkuyruk, Gymnura altavela ve tirsi, Alosa immaculata) olarak, 54 tür ise ulusal
ölçekte tehlike altında olarak tanımlanmıştır. Toplam 11 tür, Bern sözleşmesinin Ek II ve Ek III
kapsamında listelenmiştir.
Kırklareli kıyılarında gözlenebilen tek yabancı balık türü, Rus kefali’dir (Liza haematocheila). Bu
türün beslenme rejimi daha çok küçük dip omurgasızları üzerine olduğundan, yerli kefal
türleriyle rekabete girdiği düşünülmemektedir.
Bölge balıkçıları tarafından Kırklareli
kıyılarından yakalanan Rus kefalleri sadece düşük veya orta derecede ekonomik değer arz
etmektedir.
Bölgedeki balıkçılık faaliyetleri az sayıda tür üzerine yoğunlaşmış olup kalkan, barbun ve mezgit
dip trolü ile, palamut, lüfer ve hamsi ise gırgır ağlarıyla avlanan başlıca türlerdir. Sürü oluşturan
balıkların büyük kısmı, Karadeniz’deki göçleri esnasında saatin ters yönü istikamette hareket
ettiklerinden, av sezonun başlamasıyla birlikte Kırklareli kyılarına başka limanlardan çok sayıda
ve yüksek teknolojiye sahip tekne gelmektedir. Çalışma sahasındaki aşırı avcılık olgusu son
derece belirgin olup, özellikle kalkan ve palamut gibi yüksek ekonomik değer arz eden türlerdeki
ciddi azalışlar, resmi balıkçılık istatistiklerine de yansımıştır. Örneğin yıllık palamut üretim
miktarı 2005 yılında 30,000 ton iken bu rakam 2007 yılında 1,500 tona kadar düşmüştür.
Kırklareli kıyıları, ihtiyolojik araştırmalar açısından son derece ihmal edilmiş bir bölge
konumundadır. Lokal balıkçılığın düzenlenebilmesi ve maksimum kalıcı ürünün
saptanabilmesinde, özellikle yüksek ekonomik öneme sahip ticari türlerin populasyon
dinamikleri hakkında somut veriye ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Su Ürünleri Tebliğ’lerindeki en küçük
avlanma boyu verilerinin, mutlaka bilimsel araştırma sonuçlarına göre düzenlenmesi
gerekmektedir. Nesli tehlike altında bulunan türler (ve bunlar arasından ticari önem arz
edenler) hakkındaki bilimsel çalışmalara ağırlık verilmesi, alınması gereken tedbirlerin ve
koruma önlemlerinin belirlenebilmesi açısından önemlidir.
Amfibiler ve Sürüngenler
Proje alanında amfibilerden ve sürüngenlerden yeni kaydedilen bir tür bulunmamaktadır ve
kaydedilen türlerin dört sürüngen türü tehlikeye yakın (NT) olmasına rağmen hiçbir tür tehdit
altında değildir. Amfibi ve sürüngenlerden Bern Sözleşmesine göre sekiz tür Ek-II ve 13 tür EkIII listelerinde yer almaktadır. Dikkat edilmesi gereken başlıca tehditler şunlardır:

Yaşlı ve özellikle boşlukları bulunan ağaçların uzaklaştırılması bütün fauna elemanlarını
olumsuz etkilemektedir. Özellikle bazı yılan ve kertenkele türleri bu tip ağaçlara
sığınmaktadır. Bu yüzden ormancılık faaliyetlerinin yapılmadığı alanların rahatsız
edilmeden korunması iyi olacaktır.
Yildiz Mountains Biosphere Project Report Series No. 4

FAUNA OF YILDIZ MOUNTAINS

Testuda greaca ve T. Hermanni ve ayrıca Rana ridibunda Bern sözleşmesi tarafından
koruma altında olmalarına rağmen bölgede toplanmakta ve ihraç edilmektedir. Bu şekilde
illegal faaliyetlerin uygun şekilde kontrol edilmesi ve önlenmesi gerekmektedir.

İstanbul için içme suyu temini amacıyla Karadeniz’e akan derelere baraj yapımı sadece bu
sularla beslenen longos ormanlarını olumsuz etkilemekle kalmayıp ayrıca bu derelerdeki
akarsuyun azalması amfibiler, su yılanları ve balıkları içeren sucul faunayı da tehdit
etmektedir.
Mammals
Bir memeli türü, Gunther tarla faresi (Microtus guentheri) proje alanından ilk defa kaydedildi.
Toplam 66 memeli türünün 4 tanesi Vulnerable kategorisindedir. Bunlar alacasansar (Vormela
peregusna) ve üç yarasa türü olan Rhinolophus euryale, Rhinolophus mehelyi ve Myotis capaccinii’dir. U
samuru (Lutra lutra) Near Threatened (NT) kategorisindedir. Bern Sözleşmesine göre yedi tür
Ek-II ve 13 tür Ek-III listelerinde yer almaktadır.
Kör fare, Nannospalax leucodon, çalışma boyunca kayıtlarına rastlanamadığı için bölgenin
memeli envanterinden çıkarıldı. Önceki kayıtların köstebek yuvalarının yanlış
değerlendirilmesinden kaynaklandığı düşünülmektedir. Son birkaç on yıldır yeni bir kaydı
bulunmadığı için Akdeniz foku (Monachus monachus) da listeden çıkartıldı.
Kapanlama çalışmaları farklı habitat tiplerindeki küçük memeli tür çeşitliliği ve yoğunluğunu
genel olarak ortaya koymak için kullanıldı, komple kapan başarısı % 19 olarak belirlendi. Longoz
ormanı % 46 yakalama oranı ile habitatlar arasında en zengini olarak belirlendi, longozu çalılık
kaplı açık orman ve akarsular ve sonra da çam plantasyonu takip etmektedir. Küçük memeliler
bakımından en az üretken bulunan ortam tarım alanı oldu. Çam ormanı Trakya için doğal bir
orman olmadığından çam plantasyonunun karışık ormandan daha üretken bulunması özellikle
şaşırtıcıdır. Bu durum yetersiz örneklemeden kaynaklanabilir ve durumun daha uzun süreli
çalışmalar ile daha geniş şekilde çalışılması yararlı olacaktır.
Küçük memelilere yönelik özel bir tehdit belirlenmedi. Kızıl geyik (Cervus elaphus) ve Karaca
(Capreolus capreolus) gibi büyük memelilere karşı asıl tehdit yasadışı avcılıktır. C. elaphus zaman
zaman Bulgaristan tarafından Türkiye’ye geçmekte, ancak kaçak avcılıktan dolayı çok azı geri
dönebilmektedir. Bu yüzden sağlıklı bir üreme populasyonun alanda barınabilmesinin ön şartı
yasadışı avcılığın önlenmesidir. Ayrıca ormanlık alanda açık alanlar ve yoğun kapalı alanların
mozaik şeklinde varlığını sürdürmesi açık alanların karaca ve kızıl geyiklerin otlama ve kur
yapma alanı olarak kullanılması açısından önemlidir.
Özet olarak Yıldız Dağları Biyosferi Türkiye memeli ve amfibi türlerinin % 40, Karadeniz balık
türlerinin ise % 70 veya daha fazlasını temsil eden önemli ve zengin bir faunayı
desteklemektedir. Avcılık, balıkçılık ve yaban hayatı türlerinin yasadışı ticareti amaçlı toplama
faaliyetlerinden dolayı alanın aşırı istismarını önlemek, bunlarla birlikte baraj yapım faaliyetleri
ve suların kaynaklarından çeşitli amaçlar için taşınması faaliyetleri üzerinde durulması gereken
ana tehdit unsurlarıdır.

INTRODUCTION
The Yıldız Mountains are located in the north of Thrace, within the provincial borders of
Kırklareli, adjacent to the Bulgarian border and eastwards to the Black Sea. Approximately 1,218
km2 of the Yıldız Mountains are proposed as a biosphere reserve.
A review of current knowledge of the fauna was undertaken by Kaya et al. (2009) as part of the
Yıldız Mountains Biosphere Project in order to identify gaps in knowledge and inform priorities
for further surveys to be undertaken during this study. A summary of this review in Table 1.1
indicates that 326 species of vertebrates and, among the invertebrates, 27 species of dragonflies
and damselflies, and 131species of butterflies and moths had been inventoried within the
Project area. The high numbers of species inhabiting the Yıldız Mountains, representing nearly
40% or more in the case of Turkey’s mammals, birds and amphibians (Table 1.1), is indicative of
the considerable importance of this area for faunal diversity.

General Hunting Commission Annex 1: Species that may be hunted during specific periods; Annex 2: Mammals
and birds protected from hunting in Turkey.
None of these inventoried species is exclusive to Turkey, although the Bulgarian emerald
dragonfly (Somatochlora borisi1) is endemic to the Balkans. A significant number of species are
listed as threatened in the IUCN Red List (2000), particularly among mammals and reptiles.
Many species are listed in Annexes 2 and 3 for protection under the provisions of the Bern
Convention and in Annex 2 of Turkey General Hunting Commission for protection from hunting
(Table 1.1).
Much of the faunal scientific research undertaken prior to 2009 has been concentrated in
İğneada, renowned for its longos forest and other wetland habitats. This includes various studies
carried out under the GEF II Biodiversity and Natural Resources Management Project. Demirköy,
Dereköy, and Dupnisa are among other areas that have been surveyed for some faunal groups.
Zoologists from Trakya University, Edirne have contributed substantially to recent surveys
species specific studies. A summary of earlier studies is provided in Annex 1 and some further
details are given below.

1.1
ODONATA
Dragonflies and damselflies constitute the Order Odonata, having paired wings, and are
classified within the flying insects (Pterygota). Indicative of their evolutionary transition from
water to land, is their habit of laying their eggs in water. Larvae leave the water after
metamorphosis and become adults with wings. Thus, due to such a life cycle, they are commonly
found around water bodies.
Most of the Odonata data relating to Yıldız Mountains are from Dijkstra and Lewington (2006).
Major studies were carried out in the area by Hacet & Aktaç (1997, 2004). Kalkman (2006)
published a large-scale revision and removed some species recorded from Turkey.
1.2
LEPIDOPTERA
Lepidoptera includes moths and butterflies. It is one of the most speciose orders in the class
Insecta, encompassing moths and three superfamilies of butterflies, skipper butterflies, and mothbutterflies. Skippers have characteristics of both butterflies and moths. The wings are double.
Lepidoptera are often highly specific with respect to the plants on which they lay their eggs. Larva
emerge from the eggs as caterpillars, which are mostly herbivorous (a few are carnivorous and
detritivorous). After a further phase of metamorphosis as pupa, the adult butterflies emerge from
their cocoons. The majority of the butterflies feed on nectar and pollen, hence their important role
in pollination of plants. Adult lifespans vary between species, from one day to one year.
Approximately 180,000 Lepidoptera species have been described from all over the world.
Species recorded within Turkey amount to 400 butterflies and some 4,800 moths (Koçak &
Kemal, 2009). Karaca (2008) recorded 114 species of butterflies from Kırklareli Province. As
part of the GEF-II Project, 61 Lepidoptera species were recorded in the vicinity of İğneada and
its longos forest, some of which were included in the inventory based on previous studies
(Seven, 1995; Göbekçioğlu, 1999).
There are several Lepidoptera websites that feature numerous species records and photographs from
the Kirklareli region, notably http://www.kelebek-turk.com/ and http://www.leptr.org/. In addition,
amateur observations are sometimes published in the form of scientific papers with the support of
butterfly experts (e.g. Karaca, 2008, Sarıgül et al., 2008), which also leads to discovery of previously
unrecorded species. For example, the first record of Aphantopus hyperantus is given from Dereköy
and its distribution is currently confined to Kirklareli. Two other species, Polyommatus semiargus and
Polyommatus aroaniensis, are also recorded for the first time and only from Kırklareli. Further studies
may reveal a wider distribution range for these species.
Much less is known about moths, despite being a much more speciose group, than butterflies in the
Project area. This is primarily due to a lack of experts on the subject and comparatively lower
popularity of moths among nature photographers, who tend to be more attracted to the iridescent
colours of butterflies.
Okyar (Göbekçioğlu) & Aktaç (1999) recorded 115 species of Geometrid moths recorded from
81 localities throughout Turkish Thrace. Only five of these localities are located in the Project
area, from where 34 species were recorded.

FRESHWATER FISHES
The ichthyofauna of Thrace has previously been investigated by Battalgil (1941, 1942), Erk’akan
(1983, 1984), Balık (1985), Meriç (1986a, 1986b, 1992), Erdem et al. (1994), Özuluğ (1999),
Özuluğ et al. (2004), ÇOB (2004) and İlhan et al. (2005).
Balık (1985) identified 26 species (5 species from streams, 8 from lakes and 13 from both
habitats) from the Yildiz mountains, out of 40 taxa reported from eastern Thrace. Erdem et al.
(1994) investigated population ecology of Scardinius erythrophthalmus and Carassius carassius
in Hamam Lake. They recorded six species in this lake. Fifteen taxa were identified from inland
waters in the area covered by the GEF II Project (ÇOB, 2004).
İlhan et al. (2007) reviewed the distribution of the genus Carassius, based on previously
collected specimens from Thrace held in the Museum of Ege University, Fisheries Faculty Inland
Water Fish Collection (ESFM-PISI).
Although there is some information on fishes of western Thrace, little is known about the fish
fauna of the Yildiz Mountains. Lotic and lentic habitats were not examined in detail prior to the
present survey, which was aimed at sampling streams, lakes and reservoirs to assess the
distribution and abundance of freshwater fish.
1.4
MARINE FISHES
The Black Sea is the most isolated marine environment among all inland seas of the world,
whose only tenuous link with other seas is with the Mediterranean through the narrow Turkish
straits system. A relatively diverse marine fauna occurs in the Black Sea, despite its low salinity
(c. 18‰) and anoxic waters below depths of 200 m (with high levels of H2S). Of the c. 3,800
fauna and flora species identified from the Black Sea, 42.9% belongs to fungi, algae and higher
plants, 52.5% to invertebrates, 4.5% to fishes and 0.1% to marine mammals (Zaitsev and
Mamaev, 1997).
Although marine fishes form only a small proportion of the Black Sea’s biodiversity, the large
stocks of species such as anchovy, bluefish and Atlantic bonito and historically and currently
important due to their high commercial value. The rich sturgeon fish populations in the western
Black Sea (Dnieper area) were first mentioned by Heredotus (484–425 BC), and some priests in
the Middle Ages (17th century) recorded sardines, whitings etc. in the northern Black Sea (see
Slastenenko, 1956). Scientific research dates back to the 18th century, initiated by Russian
scientists, when the majority of studies were concentrated to the northern basin including the
Azov Sea. An overall picture of the Black Sea fish fauna was compiled during the late 19th century
based on the studies of Pallas, Kessler and Ostroumov (Zaitsev and Mamaev, 1997).
Knowledge about fishes off the Turkish Black Sea coast is very limited. Prominent studies were
carried out only after the establishment of the Hydrobiological Research Institute of Istanbul
University in 1952, which was later followed in 1954 by fisheries training courses supported by
FAO under various projects. Fisheries surveys were conducted under the leadership of the
Norwegian fishery expert Olav Aasen, and biology of certain important commercial species was
studied (e.g. Aasen and Akyüz, 1955; 1956). During this same period, detailed descriptions of
Black Sea fish were provided by Slastenenko (1956), including brief information on the
occurrence of particular species along Turkish shores. Subsequently, no significant scientific
work was carried out for five decades, until a series of surveys on fish stocks of the central and
eastern Turkish Black Sea coast were made between December 1989 and January 1994
(Anonymous, 1996).
A review of relevant literature has shown that almost all fishery studies conducted along the
Turkish Black Sea coast are confined to the central and eastern basins. No data is currently
available for the Thrace region. Information on local fish faunas is also scarce, except for the
Sinop – Samsun coastline (Bat et al., 2005). Currently, the only data on marine fish distributions
along the Kirklareli coast are provided by Whitehead et al. (1984-1986) and Fischer et al.
Yildiz Mountains Biosphere Project Report Series No. 4

FAUNA OF YILDIZ MOUNTAINS
(1987), who based their data not on actual field observations, but on results from previous
publications, ichthyological museum records and educated projections (i.e. a species known
from Bosphorus, Bulgaria and Romania should also exist in the Thrace region).
In this Yıldız Mountains Biosphere Project, the fish fauna along the Kirklareli coast was
examined for the first time.
1.5
TREE DWELLING BATS AND DORMICE
The world’s mammals comprise some 4,809 species, representing 1,192 genera, 146 families
and 28 orders. The order Chiroptera (bats) constitutes about one-quarter of all mammalian
species, with its 977 modern species classified into 192 genera, 18 families and 2 orders.
Chiroptera are the second most speciose order of mammals (20.3%) after Rodentia.
Bats, the only flying mammals, are estimated to have first appeared 65-70 million years ago,
following the extinction of the dinosaurs. The biggest living bat is Pteropus vampyrus
(Megachiroptera), with a body weight of 1500 g and wing length of 1700 mm; the smallest is
Craseonycteris thonglongyai (Microchiroptera), weighing 2 g and with a wing length of 120 mm.
There exist 38 bat species in Turkey, representing 5 families (Pteropodidae, Rhinolophidae,
Emballonuridae, Vespertilionidae and Molossidae) and two suborders (Megachiroptera ve
Microchiroptera). Based on the results of our recent investigations within the region, 28 of these
species (73.6%) are present in Turkish Thrace and 25 (65.7%) in Yıldız Mountains.
The family Gliridae (dormice) is globally represented by 28 species from 10 genera, of which
seven species occur in Turkey and three of these species occur in Turkish Thrace. Just two
species have been recorded from the Yıldız Mountains: Glis glis (fat or edible dormouse) and
Dryomys nitedula (forest dormouse). The third species Myomimus roachi (ground or mousetailed dormouse) has a rare distributional pattern in Turkish Thrace, excluding Yıldız Mountains.
According to former studies in Yildiz Mountains carried out in 2001 about the use of nestboxes
by fat dormice, 46 specimens were identified in 1 hectare of a locality (Vali Mezarlığı) in
Demirköy. The sounds of many Glis glis specimens were heard wandering and feeding on beech
(Fagus orientalis), oak (Quercus sp.) and other trees during night-time studies in the forests. Glis
glis population densities were high in all types of forests in the region. By contrast, the Forest
dormice, Dryomys nitedula, is relatively rare in Yildiz Mountains. The infrequent presence of this
species in nestboxes that were checked in Fidanlık, Demirköy, Çakmaktepe and Kastro
confirmed the rarity of the species in these particular forests.
1.6
HERPETOFAUNA
Yildiz Mountains support a rich diversity of reptiles, partly a reflection of their forests. The
dominant deciduous tree species are beech (Fagus orientalis), oak (Quercus robur, Q. petraea, Q.
cerris), hornbeam (Carpinus betulus, C. orientalis), ashtree (Fraxinus angustifolia, F. excelsior),
alder (Alnus glutinosa), acer (Acer campestre) and linden tree (Tilia argentea). Some coniferous
plantations of Pinus nigra, P. Pinea, P. brutia, P. maritime are also present.
1.7
OTHER SMALL AND LARGE MAMMALS
Many scientific studies have been conducted on the mammals living in the İğneada longos
forests but, with the exception of bats, elsewhere in the Project area there has been little
research. A total of 65 mammalian species have been reported in the literature for this area,
which constitutes more than 40% of the Turkish mammalian fauna (Table 1.1).
Yıldız Mountains has many caves that host an especially rich bat fauna (8 species). These have
been the subject of a separate study undertaken as part of Yıldız Mountains Biosphere Project2.
Many of the other bat species are found in the forests of Yıldız Mountains, such as Bechstein’s
bat (Myotis bechsteinii) which is a common woodland species. Sixty six percent of Turkey’s bat
species, all of which are nationally protected, occur within the Project area.

FAUNA OF YILDIZ MOUNTAINS
Among the small mammals, yellow-necked mice (Apodemus flavicollis) is common in the Project
area, as is the fat dormouse (Glis glis) in all wooded areas. The striped field mouse (Apodemus
agrarius), found only in Thrace in Turkey, occurs in areas facing the Black Sea. Within forests
and other wooded areas, there is some confusion about the nests of the blind mole (Talpa ceaca)
and the lesser mole rat (Spalax leucodon); therefore, it would be useful to review the
distribution of lesser mole rats within the Project area.
More research is required to obtain robust scientific data about grey wolf (Canis lupus), red deer
(Cervus elaphus), roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), European otter (Lutra lutra) and other large
mammals because it has been observed that population of these species have decreased in
recent years due to intensive pressures from human beings, including hunting (Kaya et al.,
2009). Studies on the critically endangered Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus),
seen in the rocky area on the coast around Limanköy (Mitchell-Jones, A. J. et al., 1999), is also a
high priority.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
ODONATA AND LEPIDOPTERA
The main streams and lakes in the proposed Yıldız Mountains Biosphere were sampled for
Odonata (damselflies and dragonflies) and Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) at 16 localities
as follows: Kırklareli: Dereköy; Demirköy: Demirköy (merkez), Avcılar, Balaban (Velika),
between the lakes of Deniz and Saka, between the streams of Deringeçit and Uzunalan, Dupnisa
(Sarpdere), Erikli Lake, İğneada and north-west of İğneada, Limanköy, Longos, Mert Lake,
between the lakes of Pedina and Hamam, Sislioba, and between the streams of Yavuz and
Bulanık (Figure 2.1).
Butterflies, damselflies and dragonflies were photographed during small mammal, insectivore
and large mammal studies. Additionally, four extra days were devoted specifically to collecting
data on these invertebrate groups. Photographs were taken of adult specimens for identification
purposes and archived. Several kinds of lenses and cameras were used to photograph Odonata
and Lepidoptera, mostly a Canon 40D body with a Canon 100 mm 2.8 USM macro lens.
Figure 2.1 Localities surveyed specifically for Odonata and Lepidoptera.
Species identified from photographs taken in field provided the basis of inventories, to which
records from other published sources were added. Identification of Odonata species was
determined primarily according to Dijkstra and Lewington (2006). Other literature sources
included Hacet & Aktaç (1997, 2004) and Kalkman (2006). Some species recorded by Hacet &
Aktaç (1997, 2004) are not included in the inventory for the proposed Yıldız Mountains
Biosphere because they were excluded from Kalkman’s (2006) review of Turkey’s Odonata.
Lepidoptera were identified primarily according to Seven (1995), Göbekçioğlu (1999), Okyar
(Göbekçioğlu) & Aktaç (1999), Karaca (2008), Sarıgül et al. (2008), Koçak & Kemal (2009), and

2.2 FRESHWATER FISHES
Limnological surveys were carried out during 19-28 July 2009 in the eastern section of Yıldız
Mountains in order to determine the freshwater fish fauna. Sampling was undertaken at 28 sites,
including six lakes and 16 streams within seven stream basins. Several sites were sampled along
Pabuç stream, Tarlalık stream, Velika stream and Rezve River. Sample locations are shown in
Figure 2.2 and further details of each site are provided in Annex 2, including coordinates and
some physico-chemical properties of the streams (Table A2.1).
Figure 2.2 Localities surveyed for freshwater fishes. Site descriptions are provided in Annex 2.
A number of streams were not sampled because they were found to be dry, specifically Elmalı
and Panayır streams (located in the southern part of the Project area near Kıyıköy), and some
streams located in the north near Beğendik Village.
Fish were sampled using passive methods in lacustrine habitats and active methods in streams,
as follows:

Passive fishing methods:
1. Trammel net: 17 mm mesh size (knot to knot), 1 m height and 80 m length - used in
lakes for periods of 3-13 hours, depending on the lake character.
2. Fyke net: 20 crayfish fyke nets were used, each net 80 cm in length and having an outer
circle diameter of 30 cm.

1. Beach seine: 3mm mesh size, 1 m deep and 25 m long (cod-end length is 5 m and wing
length is 10 m).
2. Electro-fishing: Electro-fishing was restricted to 10-20 minutes according to site
conditions, using a DC electroshocker (SAMUS 725G).
2.3 MARINE FISHES
Marine fish biodiversity surveys were carried out during 14-24 July 2009, along the coastline
from Igneada to Kiyikoy fishing port (Figure 2.3). Sampling methods were as follows:



in situ fish observations by skin divers,
bottom trawling hauls by a fishery vessel, and
personal communications with local fishermen.
Skin dives were performed in the vicinity of Igneada harbour, at depths of up to 10 m. Although
dives were also planned at Kiyikoy coasts, they had to be cancelled due to bad weather
conditions. A total of four dives were made, where all fish species observed were identified to
the lowest possible taxon. Underwater observations were noted on PVC plates, including
information on habitat characteristics and point fish counts. Abundance of each fish species was
evaluated based on a three-level scale:. rare (<10 specimens), prevalent (10 – 30 specimens) and
common (> 30 specimens).

Coordinates are provided in Annex 2.
A bottom trawl net was used to sample fish at depths greater than 10 m at three different
locations between Igneada and Kiyikoy harbours (Figure 2.3). Sampling dates are given in
Annex 2 (Table A2.2), together with data on trawling depths, start and finish coordinates and
surface water temperatures at each station. The trawl vessel (F/V SIKLAR) used was 14 m in
Yildiz Mountains Biosphere Project Report Series No. 4

FAUNA OF YILDIZ MOUNTAINS
length, with 350 HP power and equipped with a standard bottom trawl net (22 mm mesh size at
the cod-end). All trawls were restricted to a period of 60 minutes at a vessel speed of 2.5 knots.
Specimens of each of the species captured were fixed in 4% formalin for laboratory analysis,
except for large sized fish (such as turbot, spiny dogfish shark etc.). Species were identified using
keys in Whitehead et al. (1984-1986) and Fischer et al. (1987). To reveal similarities between
trawl catches, a cluster analysis was made using binary data (presence versus absence of
species) by the Jaccard single linkage method (BiodiversityPro software).
Personal communications were made with local fishermen, in order to obtain information on
regional fishery activities and existing problems in the area. Fishermen were also asked for
information on the status of commercially exploited fish stocks and threatened fishes.
Literature was surveyed, especially for species previously reported from Kirklareli coasts, and
any additional species records were added to the inventory of local ichthyofauna.
2.4 AMPHIBIANS
Life cycles of urodele and anuran amphibians are generally spent in two different environments,
so they were surveyed in aquatic and terrestrial habitats as follows:
1. Temporary and permanent water bodies: ponds, streams or ditches, banks, small ponds etc.,
especially during the breeding season when it was possible to catch many specimens.
2. Terrestrial sites: these are more varied. Some species live under dead wood and stones;
others inhabit loose ground.
Dip-nets were used to catch amphibians in the water. Terrestrial taxa were caught by hand or, if
necessary (as for jumping frogs), with the help of a dip-net. Surveys were also undertaken at
night in habitats suitable for nocturnal species. Survey locations are shown in Figure 2.4.
Figure 2.4 Survey locations for herpetofauna, tree-dwelling bats and dormice. Locations 1-36
were surveyed in 2009 and 37-46 were studied prior to 2009. Coordinates are
provided in Annex 2.
Yildiz Mountains Biosphere Project Report Series No. 4

FAUNA OF YILDIZ MOUNTAINS
Reptiles
Short duration field excursions were conducted in all types of habitats with the aim of
opportunistically seeing and/or catching reptile specimens. Survey locations are shown in
Figure 2.4. Photographs were taken of reptiles in their habitat to aid identification in the case of
undetermined specimens. Forests, open forest areas, forest grasslands and rocky areas were
searched for reptiles both daytime and at night.
2.5 TREE-DWELLING BATS
Special bat nets were set during evening hours by forest streams and among trees in areas
where the understorey was either absent or not dense. Captured bats were taken by hand and
kept in cages during controls at midnight and sometimes until dawn. Specimens were identified
and standard measurements of their characteristics were recorded, after which they were
released back into the wild. Some caves were visited with the aim of identifying tree dwelling
bats in their daytime roosts. Survey locations are shown in Figure 2.4 and their coordinates are
given in Annex 2 (Table A2.3).
2.6 DORMICE
Live-traps were placed on trees in forests. Captured specimens were identified and then
released after measuring their characteristics. Individuals were observed on trees at night and
indirect evidence from signs was used to record their presence in an area. Nestboxes attached to
trees during former studies were also checked.
Survey locations are shown in Figure 2.4 and coordinates are provided in Annex 2 (Table A2.3)
showing the localities where the field studies were performed and their coordinates.
2.7 SMALL AND LARGE MAMMALS
For purposes of this survey of small and large mammals, the main habitat types were identified
as: 1.) swamp forests called longos, 2.) fields, 3.) open areas inside forests, 4.) mixed forests, 5.)
shrubs along streams and 6.) pine plantations. Each of these habitat types was surveyed during
18th July – 08th August 2009. In view of time limitations, it was only possible to survey each
habitat type at a single site, the locations of which are shown in Figure 2.5 and coordinates
provided in Annex 2 (Table A2.4). It was accepted that each of the selected habitat types are
representative of the same habitat type elsewhere in the study area and so certain conclusions
can be reached. The habitat types are described below.
1.) Swamp forests/longos One of the most distinguishable and important habitats in the
Project area, the longos forests around Igneada are unique in Turkey in terms of their their size
and ecological characteristics. Mert Lake longos forest was chosen as an example of longos forest
and 90 snap traps were set for small mammals over three consecutive nights and checked daily.
2.) Fields Agricultural areas are common in the vicinity of small towns and villages. Agricultural
field close to Avcılar Village were chosen as they had not been cultivated, so it was assumed that
they had been fallow for at least one year. Nine snap traps were set for four consecutive nights.
3.) Open areas inside forests Meadows lie inside some forest openings. The open area east of
the entrance to Dupnisa Cave was chosen and. 90 snap traps were set for four consecutive
nights.
4.) Mixed forests constitute the predominant habitat type in the Project area. An area south of
Sislioba, covered mainly by oak (Quercus sp.) and beech (Fagus sp.) trees, was selected and 90
snap traps were set for four consecutive nights.
5.) Shrubs along streams There are some streams in the area, both sides of such streams
covered mostly by shrubs. Balaban stream, with shrubs on both banks, was selected in the
vicinity of Balaban Bridge on the Demirköy – İstanbul road. Sixty snap traps were set for two
consecutive nights.

FAUNA OF YILDIZ MOUNTAINS
6.) Pine plantations: None of the pine forests in the Project area are natural. The pine forest
along the İğneada – Demirköy way was selected and 90 snap traps were set for four consecutive
nights.
Indirect observations of large mammals were also obtained from small mammal trapping
stations by searching for their signs, such as foot prints, faeces, burrows and food remains, along
transects for about three hours at each station daily. Given the low incidence of direct sightings
of large mammals, records from the literature and interviews with villagers and hunters were
used to build up a picture of their status and distribution. Direct and indirect observations were
also made opportunistically, including mammal deaths along the roads caused by car accidents.
Survey locations were also surveyed for large mammals using 5 photo traps, which were in place
for four consecutive nights and possibly longer, depending on initial survey results. Photo traps
were regularly checked for images but none were found and it appeared that the equipment was
not functioning properly.

*This is an approximate total number of marine fish species occurring within the Black Sea.
Additions to the pre-2009 faunal inventory compiled by Kaya et al. (2009) and details of
threatened species are as follows:

Odonata: Two species of damselfly and five species of dragonfly newly recorded.
None of the damselflies and only a small number of dragonflies has been assessed with
respect to their conservation status. None is threatened but the Bulgarian Emerald
(Somatochlora borisi =Corduliochlora borisi), which is endemic to the Balkans, is Near
Threatened. No species is listed in Appendix-II or Appendix-III of the Bern Convention.

Lepidoptera: Were not included in the review by Kaya et al. (2009). A total of 42
species of moth and 75 species of butterfly have been added to the fauna inventory
based on the current study. The latter represents 66% of butterfly species recorded in
Kirklareli Province (Karaca, 2008). None of the 117 species of Lepidoptera has been
evaluated with respect to their conservation status, with the exception of the Large
Copper (Lycena dispar), which is at Lower Risk. No species is listed in Appendix-II or
Appendix-III of the Bern Convention (Annex 5).
Yildiz Mountains Biosphere Project Report Series No. 4

FAUNA OF YILDIZ MOUNTAINS

Freshwater fishes: Six species were newly recorded for the first time in the Project
area as follows: Alosa caspia, Knipowitschia caucasica, Lepomis gibbosus, Liza aurata,
Neogobius eurycephalus and Oncorhynchus mykiss. Of the 35 species inventoried, two
species are Vulnerable, Crimea barbel (Barbus tauricus escherichi) and common carp
(Cyprinus carpio), and seven species are listed in Appendix III of the Bern Convention.

Marine fishes: Three species were recorded for the first time within the coastal
waters just offshore from the Project area, namely Parablennius incognitus, P. zvonimiri
and Salaria pavo, all of which are considered to be nationally Vulnerable (Fricke,
2007). They have not been previously recorded from the Turkish Thrace region. Of the
121 species of marine fish recorded during this survey, one species is Critically
Endangered (angel shark, Squatina squatina), four are Endangered (three sturgeon
fishes, Acipenser nudiventris, A. gueldenstaedtii, A. stellatus and beluga, Huso huso) and
three are Vulnerable (piked dogfish, Squalus acanthias, Gymnura altavela and Alosa
immaculate) at global level; and 54 species are nationally threatened. Eleven species
are listed in Annexes II and III of the Bern Convention (Annex 6, Table A6.1).

Amphibians and Reptiles:.no species were newly recorded from within the Project
area. No amphibian species is threatened; and five and three species, respectively, are
listed in Annexes I and II of the Bern Convention. No reptile species is threatened but
four species are Near Threatened; and five and eight species, respectively, are listed in
Annexes II and III of the Bern Convention. (Annex 8, Table A8.1).

Birds were subject to a separate survey which is reported in YMBP (2010). The
inventory has increased from 197 to 264 species as a result of a thorough review of the
literature and observations of 11 species recorded for the first time within the Project
area.

Mammals: one mammal, Gunther’s vole (Microtus guentheri) was recorded for the first
time within the Project area. Four of the 66 mammal species3 are Vulnerable: marbled
polecat (Vormela peregusna) and three species of bats, Rhinolophus euryale, Rhinolophus
mehelyi, and Myotis capaccinii. The otter (Lutra lutra) is Near Threatened. Seven species
are listed in Annexes II and 13 species in Annex III of the Bern Convention (Annex 8,
Table A8.1; Annex 9, Table A9.2.
More details of survey results for some of the taxonomic groups are given below.
3.1
FRESHWATER FISHES
The results of the survey of 28 sample stations are shown in Table 3.2. Key findings from an
analysis of the results are as follows:

Of the 13 families of freshwater fishes recorded within the Project area, Cyprinids
(Cyprinidae) are the most diverse with 14 taxa, followed by Gobies (Gobiidae) with 7 taxa.

Species diversity within the 7 stream basins, in order of importance, is Bulanık Stream
(with 18 species), Yavuz Stream (17), Rezve River (15), Pabuç Stream (13) Çavuşköprü
Stream (12), Kazan Stream (7) and Şahin Stream (5).
It should be noted that the blind mole rat, Nannospalax leucodon, was excluded from the mammal inventory for the
proposed Yıldız Mountains Biosphere since no new records were obtained during the survey. It is thought that
previous records may have resulted from misinterpretation of mole burrows., Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus
monachus) was also excluded in the absence of any new records in recent decades.


Barbus tauricus escherichi is the most widely distributed species (recorded at 16 stations),
followed by Phoxinus phoxinus (15), Alburnus chalcoides and Squalius cephalus (10),
Alburnoides bipunctatus and Gobio gobio (9) and Salmo trutta (7 stations). Others exist in
one or a few stations.

None of the species is abundant in all basins but the widely distributed Phoxinus phoxinus
is frequent/abundant in four basins and predominant in a number of stations. Alburnoides
bipunctatus, Barbus tauricus escherichi and Gobio gobio are also dominant in some stations.
In some habitats (Stations 4, 10, 16, 18), abundance is high due to existence of a single
species.

Twenty two species were recorded in lakes and 22 species in streams; 16 species occurred
in both habitats. Alosa caspia, Carassius gibelio, Liza aurata, Mugil cephalus, Atherina boyeri
and Lepomis gibbosus were found only in lakes, while Salmo trutta, Oncorhynchus mykiss,
Alburnoides bipunctatus, Gobio gobio, Phoxinus phoxinus and Neogobius eurycephalus were
collected only from streams. Salmo trutta, Oncorhynchus mykiss, Gobio gobio and Phoxinus
phoxinus occurred in upper streams; Alburnoides bipunctatus, which is distributed
throughout the entire Rezve River, was more frequent in upper streams.

MARINE FISHES
Bottom trawl survey
The sampling depths ranged between 25 m and 52 m (Annex 2, Table A2.2). The sea bed was
sandy/muddy for trawls #1 and #2 but dense Mediterranean mussel beds (Mytilus
galloprovincialis) were encountered during the third trawl. A total of 20 fish species were
collected, two of which belong to the class of cartilaginous fishes (Elasmobranchii). Photographs
of some of these species are shown in Figure 3.1.

Figure 3.1 Trawling operation and some common fishes (photographs by M. Bilecenoglu)
The highest number of species (19) was observed in trawl #1, while 13 species were collected in
both trawls #2 and #3. The overall similarity between trawl catches (based on presence versus
absence species matrix) was 73.6%, where trawls #2 and trawl #3 were the most similar (79.9%
similarity) with respect to species occurrences (Figure 3.2). Trawls #1 and trawl #2 were only
60% similar. This slight difference between trawling hauls was most probably due to sampling
depths. Fish diversity seems to increase towards shallower coasts, as in the case of trawl #1.
However, the sample size is small so these results need to be treated judiciously.

Bottom trawlers fishing throughout the Kirklareli coast have a few target species. The most
commercial fish is Psetta maeotica (turbot), followed by Mullus barbatus (red mullet) and
Merlangius merlangus (whiting). Although sharks and rays captured are generally considered as
a bycatch, they are often exported due to their rare consumption in the internal market. Some
pelagic fishes, i.e. Pomatomus saltatrix (bluefish) and Trachurus spp. (horse mackerels), appear
incidentally in the trawl catch but they are usually discarded unless big enough to be
commercially marketed.
Diving survey
Visibility was generally very low during the dives, possibly due to turbidy caused by wave action
along the fine sand bottoms of shallow shores. All the rocky substrates were either covered by
dense algal vegetation or mussels, except for bare rocks encountered in the vicinity of Igneada
harbour. Among the seagrasses, Ruppia cf. maritima was observed in a few localities, together
with sparse patches of eelgrass (Zostera sp.), which provides refuge especially to wrasse species
(Labridae).
A total of 25 species were observed from dives, several of which inhabit specific habitats (e.g.
algae-covered rocks, sandy sea beds, etc.). Relative abundances of the fish species observed are
given in Table 3.4.

Three species (Parablennius incognitus, P. zvonimiri and Salaria pavo) belonging to the family
Blennidae have been recorded for the first time from the Kirklareli coasts (Figure 3.3). These
blennies are native to the Mediterranean Sea and recorded previously from different parts of the
Black Sea, except the study area which seems to be due to an absence of local fish diversity
studies. Brief information regarding their status is given below.

Figure 3.3 New fish records for the Kirklareli coast (photographs by M.Bilecenoglu)
Parablennius incognitus (Bath, 1968): A small-sized blenny, reaching a maximum standard
length of 5.8 cm (Froese and Pauly, 2009). The species inhabits rocky shores of coastal waters at
depths ranging up to 2 m. It occurs in the eastern Atlantic Ocean and throughout the
Mediterranean Sea coasts, including the Marmara Sea and the northern Black Sea (Whitehead et
al., 1984-1986). Some recent studies have reported the species from different localities, such as
Georgian coasts (Bogorodskii, 2006) and the southern Crimean peninsula to Karadag (Boltachev
et al., 2009). According to Bogorodskii (2006), P. incognitus probably has a wider distribution in
the Black Sea than traditionally believed.
Parablennius zvonimiri (Kolombatovic, 1892) [Staghorn blenny]: This species is endemic to
the Mediterranean and Black Sea basins. It reaches a maximum length of 7 cm. Dimly lit
biotopes, such as overhanging rocks or caves, are preferred habitats (Froese and Pauly, 2009)
but it can also be observed over mussel beds. In the Black Sea, the species was previously known
only from Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine and Georgia (Whitehead et al., 1984-1986; Bogorodskii,
2006; Froese and Pauly, 2009).
Salaria pavo (Risso, 1810) [Peacock blenny]: Occurs in the intertidal zone and shallow beds,
on rocks or sand between pebbles and vegetation (Whitehead et al., 1984-1986). Maximum
length is up to 13 cm (Froese and Pauly, 2009). It is distributed along the eastern Atlantic coasts,
Mediterranean and Black Sea, and also in the Suez Canal. Previous records in the Black Sea are

confined to Romanian, Ukrainian and Georgian coasts (Whitehead et al., 1984-1986;
Bogorodskii, 2006).
Species inventory
Information regarding the marine fishes of Kirklareli coast is limited to the monumental studies
of Whitehead et al. (1984-986) and Fischer et al. (1987), published more than two decades ago.
Although several papers on fisheries of the central and eastern Black Sea coast have been
available since the 1950s, the western Black Sea has been neglected with respect to
ichthyofaunal surveys. Of the 121 species inventoried in this survey (Annexes 3,6), all are
native species except for Liza haematocheila (Figure 3.5). Only the bluntnose six-gill shark
(Hexanchus griseus) was not directly observed but based on third party reports from a local
news agency (Figure 3.6). It is worth mentioning that only one six-gill shark specimen had been
recorded previously, from the Bosphorus entrance of the Black Sea (Kabasakal, 2004).
Slastenenko (1956) states that the species is likely to enter the Black Sea but, from the paucity of
records, it can be assumed the recent occurrence of H. griseus on the Kirklareli coast is rare and
an established population is unlikely.

fishermen claimed that the shark was harming their nets. After being on sale locally
for 5 days, the fish was sold to a fishery firm in Tekirdag (http://haber.kirklareli.net).
Threatened species
The conservation status of marine fishes is reviewed in Annex 6 (Table A6.1) according to a
variety of sources, based on the IUCN red list categories (http://www.redlist.org) and
appendices of the Bern Convention (http://conventions.coe.int). The IUCN regional red list
information for cartilaginous fishes is taken from Cavanagh and Gibson (2007), while data for
Black Sea sturgeon stocks (Acipenseridae) is already included in the IUCN global red list (2009).
A recent red list of Turkish marine fish was also considered (Fricke et al., 2007). Apart from
IUCN Red List categories, Fricke et al. (2007) used an additional category, namely TM, for
threatened migrants in the case of marine fish with large distribution ranges. A species classified
as ‘TM’ might be Endangered or Critically Endangered elsewhere but occurs in the area only as a
straggler. Some threatened migrants have extremely wide distribution ranges and are stragglers
throughout their ranges.
Finally, species listed in the Black Sea Red Data Book (Anonymous, 1997) were taken into
account but this list is far from complete and has not been updated since 1999 (see relevant
website for full account).
In summary, eight species are listed by IUCN (2009) as globally threatened:

Angel shark (Squatina squatina) is Critically Endangered.

Three sturgeon fishes (Acipenser nudiventris, A. gueldenstaedtii and A. stellatus) and beluga
(Huso huso) are Endangered.

Piked dogfish (Squalus acanthias), Gymnura altavela and Alosa immaculate are Vulnerable.
All of these are listed similarly in the IUCN Regional Red List (2007), with the exception of
Gymnura altavela, a migrant species, which is listed as Critically Endangered. In the Turkish Red
List (Fricke et al., 2007), the angel shark, all three sturgeon species and beluga are listed as
Critically Endangered. A further two species, northern bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) and
Twaite shad (Alosa fallax), are considered to be Critically Endangered at national level, along
with a further seven species as Endangered and 35 species as Vulnerable. Thus, approximately
45% (54 species) of inventoried marine fishes are nationally threatened.
3.3
HERPETOFAUNA, DORMICE AND TREE-DWELLING BATS
The results of a 15-day field survey of herpetofauna (amphibians, tortoises, lizards and snakes),
dormice and tree-dwelling bats in 36 different localities (see Figure 2.4), undertaken during 1420 June 2009 and 15-24 July 2009, have contributed substantively to knowledge about the
distribution and status of species within the Project area, although no species have been newly
recorded as shown from a comparison between Tables 2.1 and 3.1. Thus, the inventories remain
unchanged for amphibians with 9 species, reptiles 27 species, dormice 2 species and bats with
25 species but field data are much more robust as a result of these recent surveys. Many species
have been recorded within a greater number of habitats in many more locations, as evident from
the locality records (Table A8.1) and images in Annex 8.
The amphibian species Rana ridibunda and R. dalmatina were encountered in forested areas
within the Project area. Toads (Bufo bufo and B. viridis) were observed in open forests and forest
meadows at night.
Spur-thighed tortoise (Testuda greaca) is the most common species in the Project area but T.
hermanni, restricted in its distribution to Thrace Region, is present, although it has been
observed in decreasing numbers year by year.
Yildiz Mountains Biosphere Project Report Series No. 4

FAUNA OF YILDIZ MOUNTAINS
The striped-necked terrapin (Mauremys caspica) and the European pond terrapin (Emys
orbicularis) was seen in streams, especially slow-running ones, either alone or together in the
same habitat.
Lizards and snakes were observed in forests, open forest areas, forest meadows and along road
sides. Common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis), Balkan green lizard (Lacerta trilineata) and
meadow lizard (Darevskia praticola), grass snake (Natrix natrix), dice snake (N. tessellata) and
Caspian whip snake (Coluber caspius) were the most commonly seen species. Venomous snakes
were seen rarely, with transdanubian sand viper (Vipera ammodytes) observed more than rock
viper (V. xanthini).
Dormice and tree-dwelling bats were surveyed in closed and open forests, meadows, wetlands,
streams and caves. Fruits, especially of beech, oak, apple, plum and nut trees (e.g. hazel and
walnut) in mixed forest play are an important food source for small herbivorous mammalian
species.
Daubenton’s bat (Myotis daubenton) and noctule (Nyctalus noctula) were caught in mist nets in
forests and by-streams. They were recorded in greater numbers than any other bat species. A
number of caves (i.e. Dupnisa, Tripez, Karlık, Keçi and Kovantaş) were visited and data on
species roosting here and on their colonies were obtained. No evidence of the greater noctule
bat (Nyctalus lasiopterus) was found despite searching for this species, which has been recorded
from a few localities in Turkey in pine plantations (Pinus nigra, P. pinea, P. brutia, P. maritima).
Nestboxes were used in addition to live catch traps for dormice specimens. Also, forests were
surveyed at night to monitor edible dormouse (Glis glis) behaviour on trees. Use of nestboxes
placed previously in Dereköy, Demirköy - Governor graveyard (Vali Mezarlığı), Çakmaktepe,
Fidanlık (nursery garden) and Kastro provided additional information.
The forest dormouse (Dryomys nitedula), present in dense populations in other parts of Thrace,
was rarely captured in nestboxes within the Yildiz Mountains. The rare mouse-tailed dormouse
(Myomimus roachi), was not recorded in the Project area. The presence of the hazel dormouse
(Muscardinus avellanrius), which is found in Europe and Anatolia, remains uncertain and has yet
to be confirmed.
3.4
LARGE AND OTHER SMALL MAMMALS
The results of the small mammal trapping survey are summarised in Table 3.5, based on the
raw data provided in Annex 9 (Table A9.1). They show that the striped field mouse (Apodemus
agrarius) and yellow-necked mouse (A. flavicollis) are ubiquitous and numerous in their
distributions, with the exception of pine plantations in the case of the former species. Gunther’s
vole (Microtus guentheri) is quite common in forest openings, at least in the one site surveyed.
This species had not been recorded previously within the Project area.

Another group of mammalogists (Şafak Bulut from Hitit University and Murat Doğan from
Ankara University) was studying small mammals, targeting Microtus species, in the Project area
during the same period. They targeted Microtus subterraneus at Balaban Bridge by laying traps
in ferns and blackberry bushes, and Microtus guentheri at Dupnisa Cave by placing traps in front
of the burrow entrances of this species. To check for insectivores, three sites were trapped for
three days using fish as bait. Their results, shared with this Project (Table 3.6), show that
Apodemus species were the most commonly trapped small mammals, even when insectivores
are targeted by using fish meat.

It is possible to compare and combine the results of these two studies because traps were set
about 10 m apart over a total sampling line of approximately 900 m. (In restricted areas, such as
agricultural field and open forests, an S-like route was tracked, with 10 m between traps.)
Trapping proved to be a moderately effective means of generating information on species
diversity and abundance in different habitats, with an overall success rate of 19% (Table 3.7).
Longos forest was by far the richest habitat for small mammals, based on a 46% rate of trapping,
followed by open forest and streams with an understory of shrubs, and then pine plantation.
Least productive in terms of small mammals is agricultural field (Table 3.7). The higher
productivity of pine plantation versus mixed forest with respect to small mammals is surprising,
especially since pine forest does not occur naturally in Turkish Thrace, and warrants further
investigation, especially given the small sample size.

The most widespread and abundant species, as previously assessed, is Apodemus flavicollis; also

species appear to be restricted to one or two habitat types and their numbers appear to be
comparatively low. However, more extensive, longer term studies are necessary to substantiate

DISCUSSION
4.1
ODONATA AND LEPIDOPTERA
A number of species have been recorded from the vicinity of the Project area but their
occurrence within proposed Yildiz Mountain Biosphere awaits confirmation, as follows:

Sympetrum pedemontanum (Allioni, 1766) (Anisoptera: Libellulidae) (Kalkman and Pelt,
2006b) was recorded from canals 1 km north-west of Inece Village, which is located to the
west of Kırklareli.

Orthetrum albistylum (Sélys, 1848) was recorded from Kanlıdere in Pehlivanköy (Pisicã, E.
and Popescu-Mirceni, R., 2008).

Pyrrhosoma nymphula (Sulzer, 1776) from Zygoptera suborder and Coenagrionidae family
was recorded in? Kofçaz, and Ischnura pumilio (Charpentier, 1825) in Yoğuntaş (Kırklareli)
near the study area (Hacet ve Aktaç, 1997; Kalkman, 2006).
There are a number of other anomalous records. Lestes viridis (Vander Linden, 1825)
(Zygoptera: Lestidae) was recorded in the area by Hacet ve Aktaç (1997) but Kalkman (2006)
states that this species is not present in Turkey. Similarly, Somatochlora metallica (Vander
Linden, 1825) (Anisoptera: Corduliidae) was recorded by Hacet ve Aktaç (1997) from Yeniceköy
(Pınarhisar) and Saray (Tekirdağ). Again, this species is not known to occur in Turkey; it occurs
in the mountains of south-west Bulgaria (Kalkman, 2006).
4.2
FRESHWATER FISHES
A total of 28 taxa belonging to 10 families were recorded in this survey (see Table 3.2). This list
is compared with earlier inventories that, combined, total 39 species (Table 4.1). Balık (1985)
lists 26 taxa belonging to 11 families from the region. Erdem et al. (1994) reported Cyprinus
carpio, Stizostedion lucioperca, Squalius cephalus and Alburnoides bipunctatus, in addition to
Scardinius erythrophthalmus and Carassius carassius in Hamam Lake. Fifteen species were
recorded in Mert, Erikli, Hamam, Saka and Deniz lakes, Arnavut and Sivriler streams by the GEF2 Project and a further 12 species are cited in the literature as being present in this region (ÇOB,
2004). On re-examination of Carassius samples, which are conserved in the Museum of Ege
University Fisheries Faculty Inland Water Fish Collection (ESFM-PISI), İlhan et al. (2005)
confirmed C. gibelio as having been sampled from Saka Lake and Arnavut stream, and C. auratus
and C. gibelio from Bulanık stream.
Comparison between species inventoried in this survey and in previous studies shows that:

Alosa caspia, Oncorhynchus mykiss, Liza aurata, Neogobius eurycephalus, Knipowitschia
caucasica and Lepomis gibbosus were recorded for the first time within the Project area.

Anguilla anguilla, Alburnus alburnus, Carassius carassius, Syngnathus abaster, Liza ramada
(= Mugil ramada), Sander lucioperca (= Sizostedion lucioperca), Neogobius gymnotrachelus
(= Gobius gymnotrachelus), Mesogobius batrachocephalus (= Gobius batrachocephalus) and
Platichthys flesus (= Pleuronectes flesus) reported by Balık (1985), and Aspius aspius and
Chondrostoma nasus reported by ÇOB (2004) were not recorded in the present study.

Of these 11 species, Carassius carassius, Syngnathus abaster, Liza ramada, Neogobius
gymnotrachelus, Platichthys flesus, Mesogobius bactrachocephalus and Sander lucioperca
(seven species) were not encountered during the present survey most likely because they
are rare or occasional.

The other four species (Alburnus alburnus, Anguilla anguilla, Aspius aspius and
Chondrostoma nasus), included by Kaya et al. (2009) in their inventory of freshwater fish
for the Project area (see Annex 1), are thought unlikely to be present because either their
habitat requirements are not consistent with the localities listed or they have been
Yildiz Mountains Biosphere Project Report Series No. 4
34
FAUNA OF YILDIZ MOUNTAINS
recorded within Thrace but not specifically in the Project area. Thus, these species have
been excluded from the current inventory of freshwater fish for the proposed Yildiz
Mountains Biosphere (see Annex 3).
Table 4.1 Inventory of freshwater fish species in the Yildiz Mountains derived from various
authorities, with their global (IUCN, 2009) and national conservation status(Fricke et
al., 2007). New records from the present survey are highlighted. Species inferred as
present by some authorities but either are not known to occur in Turkey or have not
been specifically recorded in the Yildiz Mountains of Turkish Thrace are crossed out.

Least
Two species are globally threatened, both being Vulnerable (Crimea barbell, Barbus tauricus
escherichi, and common carp Cyprinus carpio). Many more are nationally threatened, including
the brown trout which is Critically Endangered (Table 4.1) Noteworthy is the record of Alosa
Yildiz Mountains Biosphere Project Report Series No. 4
35
FAUNA OF YILDIZ MOUNTAINS
caspia, which was found at just one location, Deniz Lake (see Table 3.2). This species was
considered to be Regionally Extinct (Fricke et al., 2007).
In conclusion, freshwater fish within the Project area do not seem to be at great risk from
environmental threats of heavy industrialization and excessive population pressures. However,
further development of schemes to transport freshwater to big cities and industries is likely to
lead to significant problems.
The water of Pabuç and Kazan streams are currently used as drinking water for İstanbul City.
Other streams in this region (especially Bulanık Stream) should be conserved from such
activities. Erikli and Mert lakes were exposed to intensive domestic sewage because of tourism
activities around İğneada. The construction of a sewage treatment plant and limitation of
tourism activities would help to address this risk. Alternative tourism enterprises should also be
considered.
Another hazard is alien species entering aquatic systems. The alien species, Oncorhynchus
mykiss, Carassius gibelio, Gambusia affinis and Lepomis gibbosus were identified during this
study. Their abundance of these species should be monitored in all habitats. Such work should
be accompanied by regular monitoring of other native species, both those having a wide
distribution (i.e. Salmo trutta, Phoxinus phoxinus, Gobio gobio, Alburnoides bipunctatus, Barbus
tauricus escherichi, Alburnus chalcoides and Squalius cephalus) and those with more limited
distributions (i.e. Scardinius erythrophthalmus, Vimba vimba, Gasterosteus aculaetus and
Knipowitschia caucasia).
4.3
MARINE FISHES
The Black Sea is the largest land-locked basin in the world, where drastic changes have occurred
between the 1970s and late 1990s due to eutrophication (excessive nutrient enrichment), riverborne pollution, invasion by non-indigenous species and the increasing trend of fisheries, all of
which lead to severe alterations in the ecosystem (Ozsoy and Unluata, 1997; Lancelot et al.,
2002; Occhipinti-Ambrogi and Savini, 2003). As a result, fish fauna (together with other biota)
have undergone considerable changes in the Black Sea, often characterised by a significant
decrease in abundance of commercial species. Moreover, some species have disappeared from
the fishery, resulting in changes to the previously dominant species.
The western shelf (especially the north-west) of the Black Sea area is of special importance as
the main spawning and nursery grounds for high value commercial fish species, such as anchovy
(Engraulis encrasicolus), Atlantic bonito (Sarda sarda) and turbot (Psetta maeotica)
(Slastanenko, 1956). River induced productivity, shallow and broad shelf area, and high
abundance of macrophytes oxygenating the water column as deep as 60 m are suggested to be
the main causes for the historical preference of this area by important fish stocks (Gücü, 1997).
Existing rivers (such as the Danube, Dnieper, Dniester etc.) play a conspicuous role in ecosystem
modification. For example, the Danube River receives effluents from eight European countries
and represents the most significant source of anthropogenic pollution in the north-west Black
Sea (Lancelot et al., 2002). Thus, the influence of rivers is more pronounced in this part of the
Black Sea than compared to the Caucasian coast or the eastern Black Sea. As the level of nutrient
enrichment has gradually increased, primary production and carrying capacity of the ecosystem
for small sized planktivorous fish has increased (Caddy et al., 1995). Following the significant
decline of large sized predators during the 1980s (as a result of overfishing), the ecological
environment in the north-west Black Sea has changed in favour of small pelagic fish (anchovy,
sprat etc.) parallel to improved food availability and removal of predation control by species
such as bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix), mackerel (Scomber scombrus) and Atlantic bonito (S.
sarda) (Gücü, 1997).
The introduction of an exotic ctenophore species (comb jelly, Mnemiopsis leidyi) complicated the
ecology in the mid-1980s. A huge population of comb jelly rapidly established itself throughout
the Black Sea and preyed heavily on anchovy eggs and larvae (Occhipinti-Ambrogi and Savini,
2003). Many scientists explain the anchovy collapse during the 1989/1990 fishing season as a

combination of ecosystem deterioration, overfishing and comb jelly invasion (BSC, 2008). The
arrival of a new species of another alien ctenophoran (Beroe ovata) during 1997 that feeds
almost exclusively on M. leidyi under Black Sea conditions decreased both the abundance of the
latter species and its impact on planktonic organisms. Since then, signs of negative influence of
comb jelly gradually decreased in several parts of the basin (Shiganova et al., 2001). There are
also recent reports of improvement in the status of some species (Mikhailov and Prodanov,
2003; Oven et al., 2009). No reports are available on the status of fishes and fishery activities
along the Kirklareli coast, and data obtained under Yildiz Mountains Biosphere Project are
important in helping to fill the knowledge gap.
The Black Sea fish fauna is mostly known by studies conducted along the coasts of Bulgaria,
Romania, Ukraine, Russia and, to a limited extent, Georgia. Some local checklists were previously
published, but none is complete. First, the taxonomy of many species is unresolved and requires
further detailed studies (e.g. Atherina mochon pontica is a valid species according to some
authors, while others regard it as a synonym of A. boyeri). Secondly, several species are found
both in the marine environment and in brackish waters, estuaries and rivers, which hinders
distinguishing true marine fish from others. Thirdly, “Mediterreanisation” of the Black Sea fauna
is continuing, meaning that previously unrecorded species are entering the basin through the
Turkish straits system. These issues frustrate any assessment of the Black Sea’s resident
ichthyofauna.
A total of 168 fish species has been reported for the entire basin by Zaitsev and Mamaev (1997),
which has increased in the last decade with the addition of several species. Thus, it may be
assumed that the supports nearly 180 species. Among local checklists, Bilecenoglu et al. (2002)
listed 151 species from the entire Black Sea coast of Turkey. In a recent paper by Stefanov
(2007), 134 species (excluding doubtful occurrences) are reported from the Bulgarian coast.
Fish fauna of the Crimean peninsula is represented by 79 species according to Salekhova et al.
(2007). The Georgian ichthyofauna includes 106 marine fish species (Ninua and Japoshvili,
2008). In comparison with the above mentioned species inventories, the recording of 121
species along the Kirklareli coasts (121 species) during the present survey indicates a relatively
high diversity of marine fish. Cryptobenthic fishes (i.e. species that hide under stones, rocks etc.)
should be meticulously studied further since new records (especially from the families Gobiidae,
Blenniidae and Gobiesocidae) are likely to be encountered. Recent findings of three fish
(Parablennius incognitus, P. zvonimiri and Salaria pavo) reported for the first time from the area
supports this view.
Only one non-native fish species (Liza haematocheila – haarder, Pacific mullet, pelingas) occurs
along the Kirklareli coast (see Figure 3.5). This species of eastern Asian origin was introduced
for aquaculture in the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea. It bred successfully in the area and even
penetrated to the Aegean Sea (Kaya et al., 1998). Biological studies of the Pacific mullet reveals
that the Black Sea stock has a higher growth rate and earlier age-at-first maturity compared to
the native grey mullet (Okumus and Bascinar, 1997). Negative impacts of L. haematocheila on
indigenous species has not been documented as yet. According to Zaitsev and Mamaev (1997),
the species feeds on small bottom-living organisms and, thus, does not compete with native grey
mullet. The species is caught by local fishermen from Kirklareli, generally in summer months,
but it should not be regarded as a target species due to its low/moderate commercial value.
The commercial catch of bottom trawlers fishing off Kirklareli coasts is quite similar to those of
the central and eastern Black Sea coasts of Turkey. In the western Black Sea, there are only five
commercial species for which the mean annual catch exceeds 1,000 tonnes (Annex 6, Table
A6.2), namely anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus), Atlantic bonito (Sarda sarda), bluefish
(Pomatomus saltatrix), whiting (Merlangius merlangus) and red mullets (Mullus spp.).
In terms of commercial value, turbot (Psetta maeotica) is the most important fish but the local
stock seems to be overfished. The skipper and crew of the trawl vessel F/V Siklar mentioned the
scarcity of large sized turbots in their catch and the rare occurrence of juveniles and sub-adults,
Yildiz Mountains Biosphere Project Report Series No. 4

FAUNA OF YILDIZ MOUNTAINS
indicating excessive pressure from fishing in the area (Figure 4.1). According to the former and
new presidents of the Igneada Fishery Cooperative (Ibrahim Metin and Numan Saglam,
respectively), a trawler can capture 4 or 5 turbots at most in a day (at least during the last
couple of years). Depending on the season, turbots are marketed at 30-120 TL/kg.
Figure 4.1 Juvenile specimen of Psetta maeotica captured by bottom trawl off the Igneada coast
(left); turbots at Kiyikoy fishing port brought by Romanian fishing boats.
During non-fishing months, turbots are brought to Igneada and Kiyikoy fishing ports by
Romanian fishermen. Several local fishermen indicated that turbot stocks along the Bulgarian,
Romanian and Russian coasts are in better condition and more abundant, which resulted in
trials of Turkish fishermen found fishing illegally for turbot along these coasts. According to FAO
Statistics (2007), the mean turbot catch at the Turkish Black Sea coast between 1970 and 2005
was 1,927 tonnes/year. Maximum production occurred during 1979 (5,250 tonnes), and the
lowest production was 203 tonnes in 2003. More recently in 2007, Turkey produced 769 tonnes
of turbot (346 tonnes from the western Black Sea) (Annex 6), clearly demonstrating the results
of overfishing. Kirklareli coast is one of the known feeding and spawning areas of turbot species
and conservation measures should be taken to enable the population to recover (Figure 4.2).
Figure 4.2 Feeding and spawning areas of turbot (left) and feeding areas of sturgeons (right) in
the Black Sea (UNEP/GRID-Arendal, 2001).
Anchovy, the dominant commercial catch along the entire basin, shows fluctuating catch values
during the last decade. A very sharp decrease occurred in 2005 (4,947 tonnes) in the western
Black Sea, but the annual harvest has since risen to 52,644 tonnes (Annex 6). Many local
fishermen indicated the intensive fishing of anchovy in the area, especially during the beginning
of the season (September) when several purse seine boats from the eastern and central Black
Sea visit the Kirklareli coast.
The decline in some other esteemed food fishes is more drastic – for example, Atlantic bonito
has decreased almost 20-fold and bluefish over 4-fold since 2005. Such negative shifts are due to
the combined effects of overfishing and inappropriate management of existing stocks. Minimum

landing sizes are regulated by Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and notified in its fishery
bulletin. Specimens of Atlantic bonito and bluefish larger than 25 cm and 14 cm, respectively, are
legally allowed to be caught. These sizes are well below the lengths at first maturity (length at
which 50% of the individuals in the population are mature), which are 37-39 cm (total length)
for Atlantic bonito (Ates et al., 2008), and 25.4 cm (fork length) for bluefish (Ceyhan et al., 2007).
According to accepted international standards, fishery regulations should permit a population to
spawn at least once prior to its harvest. Thus, current landing sizes in the official fishery bulletin
are far from maintaining sustainable fisheries and, more likely, will increase the risk of species’
collapse in the short/mid-term.
Chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) and Atlantic mackerel (S. scombrus) are prominent examples
of such a trend. Only 3 and 2 tonnes, respectively, were landed in 2007 along the entire western
Black Sea coast (Annex 6). Two other species, swordfish and Atlantic bluefin tuna, are believed
to be extinct along the Kirklareli coast according to local fishermen and official fishery statistics
(no landings recorded for either species since 2001).
The decline in local fish stocks has influenced the type of fishery vessels. The numbers of trawl
and purse seine boats operating at the western Black Sea are in decline, while the numbers of
“mixed” boats (fishing both by trawl and purse seines) are tending to increase (Figure 4.3).

Figure 4.2 Changes in number of trawl, purse seine and trawl+purse seine boats along the
western Black Sea coast of Turkey (TSI, 2009).
Analyses of the available published information on threatened fishes showed that the number of
species evaluated according to IUCN categories differs significantly. A total of 8 species are
threatened (under the categories of CR, EN and VU) at global level (IUCN, 2009). This number is
25 in the Black Sea Red Data Book (Anonymous, 1997) and 54 in the more recent Turkish Fishes
Red List (Fricke et al., 2007). Such discrepancies arise mainly from the lack of an updated red list
of Black Sea fishes and from the scarcity of knowledge about the local status of certain species.
For example, sturgeons (Acipenseridae) in Turkey are best known from four river basins at the
central and eastern Black Sea coasts (Kizilirmak, Yesilirmak, Sakarya and Çoruh rivers)
(Ustaoglu and Okumus, 2004) but not even a single study has been conducted to date on the
sturgeon population along the Kirklareli coast. Numan Saglam (President of Fishery
Cooperative) mentioned the capture of two very large belugas (Huso huso) from Kirklareli
shores (weighing 247 and 320 kg) during the late 1990s. He also stated that sturgeons (mostly
Yildiz Mountains Biosphere Project Report Series No. 4
39
FAUNA OF YILDIZ MOUNTAINS
the starry sturgeon, Acipenser stellatus, and Russian sturgeon, A. gueldenstaedtii) were also
fished by bottom trawlers (at a depth of 40- 50 fathoms) and special gill-nets at the same period.
Due to a severe decline in sturgeon stocks, their fishing was completely banned in 1997 by the
Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, but incidental catches of a few specimens are still
observed in some localities of the Turkish Black Sea coast (Ustaoglu and Okumus, 2004). The
entire marine coastline of the proposed Yildiz Mountains Biosphere is a potential feeding area
for sturgeons (Figure 4.2) and the possibility of previously unrecorded spawning sites should
not be neglected. Trawlers of Igneada and Kiyikoy still capture small sized sturgeons (40–50 cm
in length), which should be carefully monitored.
Conclusion and recommendations for marine fishes
1. Kirklareli Province has 60 km of coastline, all of which lies within the proposed Yildiz
Mountains Biosphere. Although it constitutes only 4.3% of the entire Turkish Black Sea
coast, the local ichthyofauna is rich and merits appropriate management measures to
protect biodiversity and sustain its utilisation as a fishery. Such measures will need to be
better informed by further detailed taxonomical and ecological studies to provide a sound
basis for conservation planning (see below).
2. According to official records of the Kirklareli harbour master, there are a total of 192
registered fishery vessels (130 in Kiyikoy and 62 in Igneada fishing ports), from which 44
operate as trawl/purse seine boats. This number reaches 350-500 fishery vessels by the
beginning of the fishing season, since hundreds of boats come to the area from other parts
of the Black Sea to capture commercial stocks. Several local fishermen have complained
about this situation because many purse seine boats originating from the eastern Black Sea
use technological instruments (satellites, echo-sounders) for fishing anchovy, Atlantic
bonito, bluefish etc., unlike the Kirklareli fishermen, who still prefer traditional techniques.
Since many fish stocks in the area give their highest catch during their seasonal migrations,
the presence of hundreds of fishing boats at that time causes great fishing pressure. The
President of the Fishery Cooperative (supported by dozens of its members) suggests a
quota system, which is likely to be the best way to conserve existing commercial stocks.
However, concrete data is required to regulate local fisheries and the population dynamics
of highly commercial species should be studied, in order to determine maximum
sustainable yields and permissible off takes. The minimum landing sizes given in the
official Fishery Bulletin should also be revised accordingly in the light of scientific research
results.
3. Special emphasis should be given to ecological studies of threatened species, especially for
those commercially exploited and subjected to fishing pressure. Official fishery statistics
indicate the significant severe decline of mackerels (Scomber spp.), dogfish shark (Squalus
acanthias) etc. Understanding the biological characteristics of threatened fish will enable
appropriate conservation measures to be taken.

HERPETOFAUNA, DORMICE AND TREE-DWELLING BATS
The forest dormouse (Dryomys nitedula), present in dense populations in other regions of
Thrace, was rarely captured in nest boxes placed in the Yildiz Mountains. The mouse-tailed
dormouse (Myomimus roachi), a rare dormouse species, was not found in the Project area and
the possible presence of the hazel dormouse (Muscardinus avellanrius), distributed in Europe
and Anatolia, remains uncertain.
The amphibian species marsh frog (Rana ridibunda) and agile frog (R. dalmatina) were
encountered in forest areas within the Project area; and common toad (Bufo bufo) and European
green toad (B. viridis) were observed in open forest areas and forest meadows during night
hours.
Yildiz Mountains Biosphere Project Report Series No. 4

FAUNA OF YILDIZ MOUNTAINS
Spur-thighed tortoise (Testuda greaca) is the most common species found in the Project area but
Hermann’s tortoise (T. hermanni), peculiar to Thrace, is present although it has been observed
year-by-year with decreasing frequency.
The striped-necked terrapin (Mauremys caspica) and the European pond terrapin (Emys
orbicularis) were seen in streams, especially slow-running ones, either alone or together.
During field work in closed and open forests, forest meadows and along road sides, Podarcis
muralis, Lacerta trilineata and Darevskia praticola and Natrix natrix, N. tessellata and Coluber
caspius were the most commonly seen lizard and snake species, respectively. Venomous snakes
were observed rarely, with Vipera ammodytes observed more often than V. xanthini.
Threats include the following:

Destruction of old and especially hole-bearing trees negatively affects all faunal elements
of the forest including bats. The places where forestry activities are not taking place should
be given protected status and nest boxes should be hung on trees, besides constructing bat
houses for them to use.

Both Testuda greaca and T. hermanni, as well Rana ridibunda, are collected from the region
and exported. It is a necessity to prevent such application on these animals with legal
measures that have been/would be taken. All of these species are protected under the
provisions of the Bern Convention (Annexes II and III).

Damming of streams that flow into the Black Sea in order to provide drinking water for
Istanbul not only negatively affects Longos forests fed by these streams but also the
reduced water flows in these streams threatens aquatic life.

All the trees inside the area of Kıyıköy and Kızılağaç are being gradually cut by leaving tree
patches in order to obtain forest products. The cut trees are mainly used for charcoal
production and such activities have a great impact on forest fauna and flora. Other forest
areas are used for timber production but the numbers of protected areas (i.e. Kastro
Nature Park) have been increasing with recent measures.
4.5
SMALL MAMMALS
All small mammal species had previously been recorded from the Project area, with the
exception of Microtus guentheri which is a new addition to the inventory. The survey generated
many new distributional records for small mammals, as well as information on species richness
and relative abundance in different habitat types.
The results, albeit limited with respect to the coverage of the Project area and sampling
intensity, indicate that Longos forest is most important habitat type and should be strictly
protected. The health of Longos forest depends on the quality and quantity of inflowing waters,
which is why it is vital to protect the sources of the catchments of the rivers and streams that
flow into it. To transport water elsewhere from the Project area for irrigation or drinking
purposes may cause irreversible damages to Longos forest, as may the construction of dams.
Pine forest is not native to the area and may negatively affect the local mammalian fauna. Such
plantations should be gradually replaced by native tree species.
Plant remains and old and fallen trees provide important nesting places for some small mammal
species. Hence, it is essential for some parts of forests to be left undisturbed.
4.6
LARGE MAMMALS
All of the large mammals were previously recorded from the Project area. Some additional
distributional records were gained from the survey. The main threat to large mammals such as
roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) and red deer (Cervus elaphus) is illegal hunting. Most villagers
said that C. elaphus sometimes crosses from the Bulgarian side of the border into Turkey but
only a few ever return because of hunting on the Turkish side. Thus, protection from hunting is a
pre-requisite to the re-establishment of healthy breeding populations. It is also important to

maintain a mosaic of open and closed canopy forest as open areas are important as grazing and
rutting grounds. Such open areas should not be re-afforested.
Most other large mammals, such as wolf, fox, badger and martens are carnivores, which depend
on a variety of herbivores for their survival as viable breeding populations. They are
infrequently seen and require much more detailed and extensive surveys in order to be able to
assess their distribution and conservation status within the Project area.

ANNEX 2: METHODOLOGY -DETAILED DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION OF SURVEY SITES
FRESHWATER FISHES - DESCRIPTION AND PROPERTIES OF SITES SAMPLED
(Locations are shown in Figure 2.2.)
1- Rezve river basin
In this river basin, a total of 8 stations (3 at Rezve River, 2 at Tarlalık stream and 3 at Velika stream) were
examined. Since names of the stations are the same in the main branch and in the studied branches, these
sampling stations were numbered consecutively according to stream names. The bottom of Rezve River is
sand and clay.
Rezve River
Rezve River is also known as Mutlu stream.
Rezve River-1 (Station-1): There are two big pools which are divided by big rocks at the back of
the river mouth. The sampling was made at this riffle area. The station was near Beğendik village
(Demirköy-Kırklareli).
Rezve River-2 (Station-2): The station was at Sislioba village (Demirköy-Kırklareli)
Rezve River-3 (Station-3): Station was 10 km above Sislioba. Physico-chemical properties were
not determined because of being very near to station-2 at Rezve River.
Tarlalık stream
Tarlalık Stream, which originates from Koru hill, exists north of Hamdibey village, and joins to Rezve River
around Karacadağ village. Stations researched are near to Yeşilce and Karacadağ villages.
Tarlalık Stream-1 (Station-4): Studied area is at Hamidbey road exit, around Yeşilce village.
Tarlalık Stream-2 (Station-5): Studied area is around Karacadağ village, on the way to Yiğitbaşı
village. Physico-chemical properties were not determined because of being near to Tarlalık stream1 station.
Velika Stream
Velika Stream is also known as Balaban Stream. Velika Stream which originates from springs in the
northern Mahya mouth run to Balaban and than Sarpdere village and on to Armutveren village. This
Stream joins Rezve River around Atmutveren.
Velika Stream-1 (Station-6): Station area is around the third bridge from Balaban to Sarpdere
village.
Velika Stream-2 (Station-7): Studied area is around Sarpdere village on Balaban route at the
junction for Gökyaka village.
Velika Stream-3 (Station-8): Studied area is on Dupnisa cave road, around the bridge in Sarpdere
village.
2- Şahin Stream basin
The basin of this Stream was dry. Only Paspala Stream had some pools in the bed. Two stations are
researched in Şahin Stream basin, namely Erikli Lake and Paspala Stream.
Erikli Lake (Station-9): Erikli Lake is located in northern part of İğneada. Some areas were
covered by reeds. Samplings were made at the southern coast of the lake.
Paspala Stream (Station-10): Sampling was made by electrofishing at pools. Physico-chemical
properties were not determined because the stream was dry.
3- Çavuşköprü stream basin
In Çavuşköprü stream basin, three stations were researched: Mert Lake, Çavüşköprü stream and Madra
Stream. The Çavuşköprü stream is also known as Değirmen Stream and Çavuş Stream.
Mert Lake (Station-11): Mert Lake is located in southern İğneada. Two samplings were made in
this Lake (1st: coast of Longos forest, 2nd: beach through the Black Sea coast).
Çavuşköprü Stream (Station-12): Çavuşköprü Stream was studied around the Avcılar village.

FAUNA OF YILDIZ MOUNTAINS
Madra Stream (Station-13): The station is around Madra Bridge at İğneada-Demirköy road. The
Stream had no prominent flow, but it had some big pools. Physico-chemical properties were not
determined because of the lack of stream flow. The Madra Stream is also known as Madara Stream.
4- Bulanık Stream basin
This Stream and Yavuz Stream flow to the same Longose forest. Nine stations were studied in Bulanık
Stream basin, namely the Deniz, Hamam and Pedina Lakes, and Bulanık, Sivriler, Çam, Bıçkı, Değirmen ve
Palabıyık Streams.
Deniz Lake (Station-14): Deniz Lake is located south of İğneada. Lake exists behind the sand dune.
Hamam Lake (Station-15): Hamam Lake is in Longose forest. Reeds surround the Lake. Some
macrophytes are abundant in the Lake.
Pedina Lake (Station-16): Pedina Lake is at the same condition and position as Hamam Lake, but
macrophytes cover a wider area than Hamam Lake. Therefore physico-chemical properties could
not be measured. The Pedina Lake is also known as Karu Lake.
Bulanık Stream (Station-17): Bulanık Stream is one of the biggest streams, together with Rezve
River in this region. The stream bed is wide and deep, with sand and clay bottom. Small amounts of
water were flowing into the Stream. Sivriler, Çam, Bıçkı, Değirmen ve Palabıyık Streams are
tributaries of Bulanık Stream. Sampling was made around of Forest Plantation Engineering of
Demirköy (Longoz plantation).
Sivriler Stream (Station-18): This station is on Demirköy road, around the 1st bridge in Sivriler
village. The Sivriler Stream is also known as Değirmen Stream.
Çam Stream (Station-19): This station is around the second bridge of Sivriler-Demirköy road.
Bıçkı Stream (Station-20): This station is around the third bridge of Sivriler-Demirköy road, and
exists south of Demirköy.
Değirmen Stream (Station-21): This Stream is around the fourth bridge of the Sivriler-Demirköy
road, and near Demirköy. This Stream is also known as Zindan Stream.
Palabıyık Stream (Station-22): Palabıyık Stream was researched around Hamdibey cross at
Demirköy-İğneada road. This Stream is also known as Değirmen Stream.
5- Yavuz Stream Basin
Two stations were studied in the Yavuz Stream Basin. They are Saka Lake and Yavuz Stream.
Saka Lake (Station-23): Saka Lake is located in the southern part of Deniz Lake. The Lake exists
between Longose forest and sand dune.
Yavuz Stream (Station-24): This station is around Eriklik farm which is south-west of the Forest
Plantation Engineering of Demirköy.
6- Pabuç Stream Basin
Pabuç Stream originates from springs at southern parts of Tekkaya hill. This Stream runs to Kızılağaç,
Kışlacık and Hamidiye villages and flows into the Black Sea by Kıyıköy. Two stations were studied in this
Stream. The stations names are alike, therefore station names are numbered consecutively. Stations are
near to Kızılağaç and Kıyıköy.
Pabuç Stream-1 (Station-25): Studied area is on Vize road, around bridge in Kızılağaç village.
Pabuç Stream -2 (Station-26): This station was at the sluice of Pabuçdere dam north of Kıyıköy.
7- Kazan Stream Basin
Kazan Stream originates from hills at the western part of Kömür village and run to Balkaya and Aksicim
villages and flows into the Black Sea around Kıyıköy. In Kazan Stream system, 2 stations were
investigated. They are Kazan Stream near Kömürköy and Domuz Stream near Balkaya.
Kazan Stream (Station-27): Studied area is on Vize road, around the bridge at Kömürköy village.
Domuz Stream (Station-28): Studied area is at Aksicim village, around the bridge in Balkaya. This
Stream is also known as Aksicim Stream.
