Özet

Derisidikenliler (Echinodermler), intertidal (gelgit) bölgeden derin deniz bölgesi dahil her deniz derinliğinde, okyanus tabanında bulunabilen başlıca omurgasız deniz canlısı gruplarından biridir. Echinodermata filumu beş sınıftan (Asteroidea, Ophiuroidea, Echinoidea, Holothuroidea ve Crinoidea) oluşmaktadır; bu filumun üyeleri temel bir yapıyı paylaşsa da sınıfların biyolojik özellikleri büyük ölçüde farklılık gösterir. Bu çalışmada; Asteroidea, Ophiuroidea, Echinoidea, Holothuroidea ve Crinoidea sınıflarını içeren derisidikenli örnekleri, Belucistan'ın Makran kıyısındaki (Jiwani) daha önce keşfedilmemiş iki saha olan Gariyan ve Bandari plajlarından toplanmıştır. Aralık 2021 ile Aralık 2022 tarihleri arasında yürütülen bu araştırma kapsamında toplam 170 derisidikenli örneği toplanmıştır. İncelemeler sonucunda beş farklı sınıfı temsil eden toplam 21 derisidikenli türü tanımlanmıştır: Holothuroidea (8 tür), Asteroidea (7 tür), Ophiuroidea (3 tür), Crinoidea (2 tür) ve Echinoidea (1 tür). Bu çalışma, söz konusu taksonların Makran kıyısı boyunca belgelenmiş varlığını ve bolluğunu önemli ölçüde genişleterek; bölgedeki gelecekteki biyolojik çeşitlilik araştırmaları ve koruma çabaları için temel bir ekolojik veri tabanı oluşturmaktadır.

Abstract

Echinoderms are one of the major marine invertebrates that can be found on the ocean bottom at each sea profundity from the intertidal zone to the deep zone. There are 5 classes in the phylum Echinodermata (Asteroidea, Ophiuroidea, Echinoidea, Holothuroidea and Crinoidea) even though members of the phylum share a fundamental structure, the biological characteristics of the classes vary greatly. Echinoderm samples comprising Asteroidea, Ophiuroidea, Echinoidea, Holothuroidea and Crinoidea were collected from two unexplored sites Gariyan and Bandari beach along the Jiwani, Makran coast Balochistan. A total of 170 echinoderm specimens were collected during the present study from December 2021 to December 2022. In total, 21 echinoderm species were identified, representing five distinct classes: Holothuroidea (8 species), Asteroidea (7 species), Ophiuroidea (3 species), Crinoidea (2 species) and Echinoidea (1 species). This study significantly expands the documented occurrence and abundance of these taxa along the Makran coast, providing an essential ecological baseline for future biodiversity research and conservation efforts in the region.
