total of 0000 fish belonging to 00 different species
of teleosts captured in the sea cages farms (farmed
Oncorhynchus mykiss, Dicentrarchus labrax, Sparus aurata)
and fishing-ground of different sites in the coastal waters
of Turkey. These sampling sites are Sinop (S) to Trabzon (T)
coasts (00◦00 N; 00◦00 E to 00◦0 N; 00◦00 E) in the Black
Sea; Gulf of Saros (GS) (00◦00 N; 00◦00 E), I˙zmir (I˙) coast
(00◦00 N; 00◦00 E) and Güllük Bays (GB) (00◦00N; 00◦
00 E) in the Aegean Sea and Gulf of Antalya (GA) (00◦00
N; 00◦00 E) and I˙skenderun Bays (I˙B) (00◦00 N; 00◦0 E)
in the Mediterranean Sea between March 0000 and April
0000 (Fig. 0). When sampling for the captured fish species,
the most captured fish species for that Sea was considered
(For instance Engraulis encrasicolus and Trachurus trachurus
are the most captured fish in the Black Sea). Besides,
Oncorhynchus mykiss, Dicentrarchus labrax, Sparus aurata
which are the most cultured three species in the sea cages
in Turkey were considered for the cultured fish sampling
species. Fish were stored in individual plastic bags in ice
boxes and transported to the laboratory and each fish was
identified at species.
