Özet
The population of Pinna nobilis (Linnaeus, 1758) has been severely damaged, especiallyby the effect of the disease, in addition to the causes such as fishing activities,overexploitation, environmental pollution, habitat degradation, tourism, and humanimpacts. Particularly, Haplosporidium pinnae caused gigantic destruction in the P. nobilispopulation. Accordingly, the present study aimed to determine the current status of the P.nobilis populations in the Çanakkale Strait. Samplings were carried out between July andAugust 2020 at 9 different stations in the Çanakkale Strait. The results revealed that massmortality was observed at the two stations (Abide Beach and Kumkale Village Beach)located near the Aegean Sea. On the other hand, it has been determined that the lowestmortality rate (9.62%) has been found at Ilgardere station. Juvenile individuals have beenobserved in healthy and uninfected populations with high survival rates. This paper is thefirst document on the spatial distribution of P. nobilis in Çanakkale Strait. Therefore, theP. nobilis population should be continuously monitored to ensure the sustainability of thespecies.
