Skates and rays, which are widely encountered in the by-catch of fisheries activities from the Sea of Marmara and banned for sale by regulation, are species that are discardedif caught. For this reason, in our study, we aimed to determine the bioactive potentials of these species, considered fishing waste, by investigating the skin secretions and microbial flora. In our study, both the skin flora and mucus contents of the discarded species Dasyatis pastinaca (Linnaeus,1758), Myliobatis aquila (Linnaeus, 1758), and Raja clavata(Linnaeus, 1758) caught in the Sea of Marmara were investigated to determine their potential antimicrobial activities. A total of 164 bacteria were isolated from the epidermal mucus of the three batoid species. Antibacterial activity was observed from three isolated bacteria against Escherichia coli, Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, E. faecalis, and Bacillus subtilis. Additionally, the highest antibacterial activity was observed for skin mucus of R. clavata. Mouse fibroblast cell viability was challenged with mucus secretions. M. aquila and R. clavata mucus secretions exhibited no observable change after 24 and 48 hours. The assays indicated that both the isolates and the skin mucushave potential antimicrobial activity against opportunistic pathogens.

The existence of an open mapping from a compactification of a ray onto the closed unit interval [0, 1] is investigated. The main theorem says that such an open mapping does exist if and only if there is a confluent mapping of the remainder onto [0, 1].
