Notes on the Distribution of the Genus Oreochromis in the East Mediterranean Region of Turkey
Abstract
Tilapias are freshwater species which are the common name of three genera of cichlids, Oreochromis, Sarotherodon, and Coptodon. Many of the species belonged to these genera have been used for aquaculture products. Although their main native distribution areas are tropical and subtropical regions, they have spread to other areas due to their high invasive characteristics. This study was aimed to investigate the distribution of genus Oreochromis in the East Mediterranean Region of Turkey. The study was conducted at 18 stations located in Adana and Mersin from 2014 to 2017. The introduction of the species in these systems was mainly recorded weed control, transfers of fisherman, and escape from aquaculture facilities. However, the distribution of genus Oreochromis in Turkey and their effects on the aquatic ecosystems are unknown. The results showed that the species of genus Oreochromis were easily adapted the different conditions such as various flow rates, salinity, and temperature.
