Su ürünleri sistemi ne kadar yoğun olursa yemlemenin önemi o kadar fazla olur ve toplam üretim maliyetinde yem maliyetinin payı da o kadar artar. Bilindiği üzere alabalık başta olmak üzere bazı balıkların yetiştiriciliği için akarsu sistemli tesisler kullanılmakta yada sıcaklığın, su bileşiminin ve akıntının dolayısıyla oksijen yoğunluğunun daha iyi olduğu tatlı su ve kıyılarda ise yüzer ağ kafeslerde yetiştiricilik yapılmaktadır. Su ürünleri yetiştiriciliğinin ileri durumda olduğu ülkelerde entansif yetiştiricilik uygulanmakta ve yetiştirme alanlarında birim hacimde maksimum ürün yetiştirilmeye çalışılmaktadır.

Keleş, Yüksel

Eleven species were collected from Northwest Anatolian mountains (1500–2000 m) and 18 species were collected from the Central Anatolian steppes (850–1000 m) in June 1998 and 1999. In all the species investigated, the water and dry matter percentages and solute contents were measured. The chlorophyll, b-carotene, ascorbate and a-tocopherol contents and catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) andglutathione reductase (GR)enzymeactivities oftheplants werealsodetermined.Thesteppeplantshadlowerwatercontentcomparedwith alpine plants. The chlorophyll contents of the plants investigated did not change with altitude. However, the carotenoid/chlorophyll ratio of alpine plants was found to be significantly higher. The antioxidant/chlorophyll ratio of the trees and shrubs was higher than that of he...
