Abstract

Round goby Neogobius melanostomus, common sole Solea solea, rusty blenny Parablennius sanguinolentus, tentackled blenny Parablennius tentacularis, peacock blenny Salaria pavo and annular seabream Diplodus annularis collected by angling in Sinop coasts of the Black Sea in the period from March to July 2014 were investigated for myxosporean and monogenean parasites at the Faculty of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences in Sinop using conventional methods. Parasite species identified were Ortholinea gobiusi from round goby, Sinuolinea rebae from common sole, Sphaeromyxa sevastopoli, Myxobolus asymmetricus and Ortholinea divergens from rusty blenny, Myxidium parvum from peacock blenny and tentackled blenny and Lamellodiscus elegans and Lamellodiscus fraternus from annular seabream. All morphometric data are presented in tables. These parasites are the first in Turkish Black Sea coasts and all parasite species are new records for Turkish parasite fauna. Moreover, S. rebae is a new myxosporean parasite of the Black Sea fauna.

Metazoan parasites of common sole (Solea solea) and scaldfish (Arnoglossus laterna) (Pleuronectiformes) from Sinop coast of Black Sea

“…To date, only ten metazoan parasite species have been reported in the common sole in Turkish waters according to data from different authors. These are; one species of Isopoda, Nerocila orbigyni (Kayış and Ceylan, 2011) and one species of Myxozoa, Sinuolinea rebae (Özer et al, 2015) in Black Sea, three species of Arthopoda, Caligus solea in North Eastern Mediterranean (Demirkale et al, 2014), Caligus brevicaudatus and Caligus apodus in Eastern Mediterranean (Özak et al, 2013), three species of Cestoda, Bothriocephalus scorpii , Grillotia sp. and Scolex pleuronectis in the Marmara Sea (Keser et al, 2007), one species of Digenea, Hemiuridae metacercaria in the Marmara Sea (Keser et al, 2007), one species of Nematoda, Hysterothylacium aduncum in the Marmara Sea (Keser et al, 2007) and in Eastern Mediterranean Sea (Keskin et al, 2015).…”

Synopsis of the species of Ortholinea Shulman, 1962 (Cnidaria: Myxosporea: Ortholineidae)

“…29 ). Finally, Özer et al ( 2015 ) redescribed O. divergens from the urinary bladder of the Rusty blenny Parablennius sanguinolentus (Pallas) (Blenniiformes; Blenniidae) from Sinop, Black Sea, Turkey (Table 2 ). There are also many other reports of this species in parasite surveys of fish: in the kidney of the East Atlantic peacock wrasse Symphodus tinca (Linnaeus) (Eupercaria; Labridae) from Napoli, Italy (Parisi, 1912 ); in the urinary bladder of the Hornyhead turbot Pleuronichthys verticalis Jordan & Gilbert (Pleuronectiformes; Pleuronectidae) from Southern California, USA (Jameson, 1931 ); in the American plaice H. platessoides and the Greenland halibut R. hippoglossoides from the Northwest Atlantic region (Zubchenko, 1980 ); and in the urinary bladder of the Striped seaperch Embiotoca lateralis Agassiz and the Pile perch Phanerodon vacca (Girard) (Ovalentaria; Embiotocidae) from Avila Beach, California, USA and Santo Tomás, Mexico (Moser & Haldorson, 1982 ).…”
