The characterization of the main habitat types populated by the Black Sea Turbot in its different stages of developmen

Abstract
The turbot Psetta maeotica (Pallas, 1814) is a demersal species that populates the Romanian Black Sea’s continental shelf and is an important segment of the regional fishing potential under the aspect of market demand, both on the national and international level. Being a migratory species (short, coast - perpendicular migrations, made for reproduction) it uses during its complete biological cycle various habitat types, among which we mention: reproduction habitats (coastal waters, down to 30 meters depth), growing habitats (close to the sea bottom, down to 50-60 meters depth), wintering habitats (close to the sea bottom, down to 60-80 meters depth). The turbot populates almost all the habitat types present down to these depths, but it prefers the sandy and muddy ones, that are foundespecially in the Central and Northern part of Romanian littoral. The physical, chemical and biological characterization of these habitats revealed an improving tendency, that appeared on the bases of economical activities restructuring, the growing of the exigencies in implementing the environmental policies, the setting-up of marine protected areas and also the new reglementations regarding the marine resources exploitation.
