Abstract

In this study, the effect of some biotic (total length, sex) and abiotic (sampling station and month) factors on the shell status (soft or hard) of Pontastacus leptodactylus were investigated in a natural crayfish population. The study was carried out in Hirfanlı Dam Lake (Central Anatolia), where one of the most important crayfish harvesting areas of Turkey, with a monthly basis between Jun-2017 and May-2018. Permutational multivariate analysis of variance (PERMANOVA) was used for the determination of the differences between nonparametric variables. A total of 5920 crayfish were checked, ultimately determined as 106 (1.79%) individuals with a soft shell and 5814 (98.21%) hard shell. Shell status was shown statistical difference with total length, stations, and sampling month (p<0.05), while it was no significant by sex group (p>0.05).

Bazı Biyotik ve Abiyotik Faktörlerin Kerevit (Pontastacus leptodactylus Eschscholtz, 1823) Kabuğunun Yumuşak veya Sert Olma Durumu Üzerine Etkileri: Hirfanlı Baraj Gölü Örneği

Abstract

Çalışmada, doğal bir popülasyonda, bazı biyotik (total boy, eşey) ve abiyotik (örnekleme istasyonu, örnekleme dönemi) faktörlerin kerevit (Pontastacus leptodactylus) kabuğunun yumuşak veya sert olması üzerine etkileri araştırılmıştır. Arazi çalışmaları Türkiye’nin en önemli kerevit üretim merkezlerinden bir tanesi olan Hirfanlı Baraj Gölü’nde Haziran-2017 ile Mayıs-2018 döneminde aylık örneklemeye dayalı olarak yürütülmüştür. Paramerik olmayan değişkenlerin istatistiksel olarak değerlendirilmesinde permütasyonel çok değişkenli varyans analizi (PERMANOVA) kullanılmıştır. Toplamda 5920 adet kerevit kontrol edilmiş ve sonuçta 106 (%1.79) örneğin kabuğunun yumuşak, 5814 (%98.21) örneğin kabuğununda sert olduğu belirlenmiştir. Kerevit kabuğun sert veya yumuşak olma durumu total boy, örnekleme dönemi ve örnekleme istasyonuna göre istatistiksel farklılık göstermiş (p<0.05), eşeye göre değerlendirildiğinde ise istatistiksel farklılık bulunmamıştır (p>0.05).
