METAZOAN PARASITES OF TENCH (Unca tınca L., 1758) IN THE LAKE SAPANCA, TURKEY

Abstract

In this study, metazoan parasites of tench (Tinca tinca L., 1758) in the Lake Sapanca were investigated between April 2005 and March 2006. A total of 57 tench were examined and 7 parasite species were recorded including; Dactylogyrus macracanthus, Wegener, 1909 (Monogenoidea) prevalence 26.3% mean intensity 9.06 ± 7.362, Asymhylodora tincae (Modeer, 1970) 61.4%, 92.6 ± 84.107, Diplostomum sp. 12.3%, 2.3 ± 1.069 (Trematoda), Caryophyllaeus laticeps (Pallas, 1781) 8.7%, 7.2 ± 7.127 Bothriocephalus acheilognathi (Yamaguti, 1934) 3.5%, 4 ± 4.242 (Cestoidea), Ergasilus sieboldi Nordmann, 1832, 1.7%, 2 (Crustacea) and glochidia of mollusk 8.8%, 13.8 ± 12.421 (Bivalvia).
