The Determination of Some Spermatological and Hematological Parameters of Shabbout (Barbus grypus, H; 1843) in Atatürk Dam Lake, Şanlıurfa

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine some spermatological parameters and hematological characteristics of the B. grypus (H, 1843) in the spawning season. Investigation was performed using 20 B. grypus males captured from Atatürk Dam Lake. Milt and blood samples were collected and evaluated daily in sampling day. In collected milt, the mean values of milt volume (µL), the percentage of motile spermatozoa (%), duration of motility (s), spermatozoa concentration (x10 9 /mL) and pH were 886.00 ±78.76, 71.25 ±4.56, 115.10 ±6.19, 10.61 ±1.67 and 8.13 ±0.45, respectively. The blood parameters of B. grypus males were 30.01 ±4.11, 2.05±0. 07, 7.72 ±0.11, 147.27 ±4.93, 38.98 ±2.61, 26.47 ±0.84 and 29.45 ±0.75 for WBC (x10 3 /mm 3 ), RBC (x10 6 /mm 3 ), Hb (g/dl), MCV (µm 3 ), MCH (pg), MCHC (%) and PCV (%), respectively. Milt volumes in 8 year old fish were significantly higher than those in 5, 6 and 7 year old individuals (P<0.01). Also, mean PCV value was significantly higher (P<0.05) in 8 year old males than the others. These results suggest that the milt volume and PCV value of the B. grypus (H, 1843) are influenced by age.Bu çalışma, üreme sezonundaki Şabut balığının (B. grypus; H, 1843) bazı spermatolojik ve hematolojik özelliklerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma, Atatürk Baraj gölü'nden yakalanan 20 adet erkek B. grypus kullanılarak gerçekleştirildi. Sperma ve kan örnekleri günlük olarak alınıp değerlendirildi. Alınan spermalarda, ortalama sperma miktarı (µL), spermatozoa motilitesi (%), motilite süresi (s), spermatozoa yoğunluğu (x10 9 /mL) ve pH değerleri sırasıyla ortalama 886.00 ±78.76, 71.25 ±4.56, 115.10 ±6.19, 10.61 ±1.67 ve 8.13 ±0.45 olarak bulundu. Erkek B. grypus'un kan parametreleri WBC (x10 3 /mm 3 ), RBC (x10 6 /mm 3 ), Hb (g/dl), MCV (µm 3 ), MCH (pg), MCHC (%) ve PCV (%) için sırasıyla, 30.01 ±4.11, 2.05 ±0.07, 7.72 ±0.11, 147.27 ±4.93, 38.98 ±2.61, 26.47 ±0.84 ve 29.45 ±0.75 oldu. Sekiz yaşındaki balıkların sperma miktarı 5, 6 ve 7 yaşındaki örneklerden daha yüksek bulundu (P<0.05). Keza, 8 yaşındaki balıkların ortalama PCV değeri diğer yaşlardaki balıklardan daha yüksek oldu. Bu sonuçlar B. grypus (H, 1843) balıklarının sperma miktarı ve kandaki PCV değerlerinin yaş tan etkilendiğini göstermektedir.

Morphometric, mersitic and some blood parameters of Barbus grypus Shabout (Heckel 1843) in Sulaimani natural water resources, Iraq

“…The values of WBC in this study (1345.1±314.22, 15133564 ±2851414 and 19536900± 4594589 /mm 3 ) for three different groups of fish length that were higher than stated values of (Doğu et al, 2014) The values of MCHC of B. grypus were reported as 45.4±13.68, 25.6±0.89 and 27.9±1.18 % for (20-30cm, 30-40 cm and 40-50 cm) length, respectively. Our data were confirmed by (Doğu et al, 2014) that they reported The MCHC values in B. grypus was 26.47±0.84.Cyprinidae species like C. trutta, S. glanis, C. lazera, O. niloticus and T. zillii were stated as 30.32 ±0.80 %, 30.66 ±0.49 %, 31.20 ±0.85 %, 31.00 ±0.01 % and 33.14 ±1.88%, respectively (Örün and ErdemLi, 2002;Aydın et al, 1998;Yavuzcan et al, 1997;Gbore et al, 2006).…”

“…Total lengths were 26.71±0.85, 34.82±0.82 and 43.78±0.9 for (20-30cm, 30-40 cm and 40-50 cm) length, respectively. (Doğu et al, 2014), stated that total length for b. grypus in Ataturk dam was 66.85±1.5 cm. Standard lengths were 26.27±0.64, 29.43±0.73 and 37.35±0.91 for (20-30cm, 30-40 cm and 40-50 cm) length, respectively.…”

Mitochondrial DNA sequence analysis of Arabibarbus grypus (Heckel, 1843) living in Great Zab (Erbil, Iraq)

“…This fish, popularly known as Şabut (Shabout) fish, is an endemic species living in the Euphrates and Tigris river systems in Türkiye, Iraq, Iran, and Syria (Nikpey, 1996;Abdoli, 2000;Göçer, 2022). There are many studies on A. grypus living in this basin, some of which are as follows; growth, reproduction and heavy metal characteristics (Oymak et al, 2008;2009); spermatological and hematological features (Dogu et al, 2014;Khodadadi et al, 2016), genetic features (Parmaksız et al, 2017;. The delicious meat of the A. grypus species causes it to be preferred by the local people and increases its economic importance.…”
