Abstract

Abstract: Lernaea cyprinacea L.,1758 is a lernaeid copepod species usually known as anchor worm. It is usually reported as having a wide range of host susceptibility. Parasites belonging to the genus Lernaea can have serious deleterious effects on their freshwater fish hosts. Parasites belonging to the genus Lernaea, it has been reported from several host fish species to date in Turkey. Mediterranean region of Turkey supports a rich diversity of Cypriniformes fish fauna, with a high percentage of endemic species. This study reports the infection of L. cyprinacea on some native and alien Cypriniformes fish in the Mediterranean region of Turkey. Barbus xanthos, Alburnus baliki, Pseudophoxinus zekayi and Pseudorasbora parva were found as new host records for L. cyprinacea.

Türkiye’nin Akdeniz Bölgesi'nden Bazı Cypriniformes Balıklarında Ektoparazit Lernaea cyprinacea’nin (Copepoda: Lernaeidae) Tespit Edilmesi

Abstract

Lernaea cyprinacea L., 1758, çapa kurdu olarak bilinen bir lernaeid kopepod türüdür. Genellikle geniş bir konakçı duyarlılığına sahip olduğu bildirilmektedir. Lernaea cinsine ait parazitlerin tatlı su balıkları konakçıları üzerinde ciddi zararlı etkileri bulunmaktadır. Larnea cinsine ait parazitler, Türkiye'de bugüne kadar birçok konak balık türünden bildirilmiştir. Türkiye'nin Akdeniz bölgesi, yüksek endemik tür yüzdesi ile zengin bir Cypriniformes balık faunası çeşitliliğini barındırmaktadır. Bu çalışma, Türkiye'nin Akdeniz bölgesindeki bazı yerli ve yabancı Cypriniformes balıklarında L. cyprinacea enfeksiyonunu açıklamaktadır. Barbus xanthos, Alburnus baliki, Pseudophoxinus zekayi ve Pseudorasbora parva, L. cyprinacea için yeni konak kayıtları olarak bulunmuştur.
