| Abstract: | In the meadow closer to the fish cages, total inorganic nitrogen, ammonium,
chlorophyll-a concentrations and organic matter content in sediment were determined.
It is relatively higher than those recorded at the control meadow. In order to
test significant differences among stations, sampling periods and depths, environmental
variables together with morphological characters of the both sites were analyzed
by Canoco. Shoot density, adult leaf length, adult leaf surface area, and leaf
area index (LAI) showed significant spatial and temporal changes. Additionally,
except shoot density, the values obtained other morphological characters showed
increasing trend towards deeper stations and further meadow from the cage
activities. A coefficient values were relatively higher in the near cages and
decreased related with depth. |
