Meat Yield and Shell Dimension of Smooth Scallop (Flexopecten glaber) Caught from Çardak Lagoon in Canakkale, Turkey
In this research, meat yield and shell dimension of smooth scallop (Flexopecten glaber) were specified. 150 individuals of smooth scallop were caught by dredges seasonally in Cardak lagoon on Canakkale strait, Turkey. According to results, the relationship of total shell length between total shell weight was determined as TW = 0.5207* TL 2.4533 (R2= 0.73). Moreover, meat yield of scallop was determined highest as whole meat in spring and as adductor muscle in summer. This paper reveals basic growth data of smooth scallop and its preliminary study for Cardak lagoon which is important bivalve inhabiting area.
NEW DATA ON BIOLOGY AND ECOLOGY OF FLEXOPECTEN GLABER (LINNAEUS, 1758) (BIVALVIA, PECTINIDAE) IN THE BLACK SEA
Smooth scallop Flexopecten glaber (Linnaeus, 1758) is a promising target for fishing and mariculture. Biology and ecology of F. glaber have not been sufficiently studied, and the research undertaken is aimed at filling the lack of information about the object. The local population of smooth scallop, inhabiting the depths of 1–6 m in the Kazachya Bay (western part of the Heracleian Peninsula, Crimea), was studied using equipment for snorkeling.

In the investigated area, F. glaber dwells among the thickets of dwarf eelgrass Zostera noltei on a sandy shell bottom. Scallop density varied from less than 1 to 3 ind./m2, reaching 10 ind./ m2 in the core of the settlement. For the study, 150 scallop individuals were sampled; and based on their analysis, size, weight, and age composition of the population are given for F. glaber for the first time. The maximum size of an individual makes up 56.2 mm, maximum weight is 23 g, and maximum age is 7 years, with average life expectancy of 4 years. The conclusion was made that the studied local population of F. glaber is in a good state, and the prognosis for recovery of this species in the Black Sea is favorable. The need for continued implementation of conservation measures for the species is indicated.
Phenomenology and homeopathy.
There is a great overlap between the way of seeing the world in clinical homeopathy and in the technical philosophical system known as phenomenology. A knowledge of phenomenologic principles reveals Hahnemann to have been an unwitting phenomenologist. The ideas of phenomenology as applied to medicine show that homeopathy is the ideal medical system to fulfill the goals of coming ever closer to true patient concerns and experience of illness.
