ΒΙΟΝΟΜΙΚΗ ΜΕΛΕΤΗ ΤΩΝ ΘΑΛΑΣΣΙΩΝ ΑΝΕΜΩΝΩΝ (ACTINIARIA, ANTHOZOA) ΤΟΥ ΘΕΡΜΑΙΚΟΥ ΚΟΛΠΟΥ

THE RESEARCH CARRIED OUT IN THERMAIKOS GULF REVEALED THE PRESENCE OF 15 SPECIESOF SEA ANEMONES. NINE OF THE FIFTEEN SPECIES FOUND, ARE REPORTED FOR THE FIRSTTIME FROM THE EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN AND ONE FROM THE AEGEAN SEA. ACCORDING TO THE SELECTIVE PREFERENCE SHOWED BY THE VARIOUS ANEMONE SPECIES TO VARIOUS TYPESOF SUBSTRATES, THEY CAN BE DIVIDED TO 4 GROUPS. INFORMATION ON THE FEEDING HABITS OF THE ANEMONES WERE COLLECTED ONLY FOR 4 SPECIES (A. EQUINA, A. VARIDIS, C. PARASITICA AND C. PEDUNCULATUS) BECAUSE OF THE RESTRICTED NUMBER OF SPECIMENSBELONGING TO THE REST OF THE SPECIES. DURING THIS STUDY, VARIOUS SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIPS AMONG ANEMONES AND OTHER BENTHIC ORGANISMS WERE OBSERVED SOME OF WHICH ARE REPORTED FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE A. VARIDIS POPULATION STUDIED WAS SETTLED IN A WELL FORMED ASSEMBLAGE BUT POOR IN SPECIES NUMBER COMPARED TO OTHER RELEVANT ASSEMBLAGES. BY THE USE OF THREE ARBITRARY AGE CLASSES THE SEASONAL AGE CONSTRUCTION OF THE POPULATION SHOWED A DIFFERENTIATION WHICH SHOULD BE ATTRIBUTED MAINLY TO THE MIGRATIONS OF THE INDIVIDUALS FOR VARIOUS REASONS, BUT ALSO TOCHANGES IN THE INTENSITY OF AXCUAL REPRODUCTION. DURING THE STUDY OF THE VERTICAL DISTRIBUTION OF A. VIRIDIS IT WAS FOUND THAT THE MEAN WEIGHT OF THE INDIVIDUALS IN THE POPULATION INCREASES WITH THE DEPTH AND THE DISTANCE FROM THE COAST.
