Murat Nehri ve Kollarında (Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi, Türkiye) Yaşayan Musul İnci Balığı (Alburnus mossulensis)'nın Metazoan Parazitlerinin Mevsimsel Enfeksiyonu

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the frequency of metazoan parasitic infections of Mosul bleak (Alburnus mossulensis) in Murat River in Eastern Anatolia, Turkey. A total of 182 host fish were investigated, from January 2015 to March 2016. There were 972 metazoan parasites recorded in collected samples. Six species of Monogenea (Dactylogyrus holciki, Dactylogyrus lenkorani, Dactylogyrus alatus, Dactylogyrus vistulae, Gyrodactylus sp., and Paradiplozoon homoion), one species of Digenea (Diplostomum spathaceum), two species of Cestoda (Caryophyllaeus laticeps, Ligula intestinalis), one species of Nematoda (Rhabdochona denudata), one species of Hirudinea (Piscicola geometra), and one species of Copepoda (Eergasilus sp.) observed respectively. According to their prevalence from high to low ranks; Eergasilus sp. (34.6%), D. spathaceum (33%), P. homoion (19.8%), D. holciki (12.1%), C. laticeps (7.1%) D. alatus (6.6%), D. lenkorani (4.9%), R. denudata (4.9%), Gyrodactylus sp. (3.8%), P. geometra (1.6%), D. vistulae (1.1%) and L. intestinalis (0.5%) were calculated. Among these parasites D. lenkorani, D. vistulae, P. homoion, C. laticeps and R. denudata are the first record on Mosul bleak and D. holciki is the first record for Turkey freshwater fish parasites.

Doğanbaba Çayı (Salda Gölü, Türkiye)’nın Endemik balık türü Pseudophoxinus burduricus’ta Paradiplozoon bliccae (Monogenea: Diplozoidae) Enfeksiyonunun Bazı Parazitolojik Özellikleri

“…Prevelance was found to be higher in females (42.11 %) than in the males (17.14 %). Contrary of these results, male dominancy in infection was reported in studies of Tunç and Koyun (2018) about P. homoion in Alburnus mossulensis (47.61 %) and Ünal et al (2017) concerning P.bliccae (52.9 %) in S. felowesii.…”
