The Infection of Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (Fouget, 1878) The Cultured Red Spotted Trout Salmo trutta macrostigma (Dummeril,1858) Fished in Coastal Area of Mersin City

Abstract

The research were carried out in order to determine the reason of high mortality in red spotted trout Salmo trutta macrostigma (Dummeril,1858) fıshed ın coastal area of mersin city (çamlıyayla). The moribund fish were investigated in parasitological point of view. Ichthyophthirius multifiliis was responsible from high mortality. Fish were succesfully treated with FMC bath (2ml 60minutes/2-3day). After FMC applications the mortality stopped

Mersin İli (Çamlıyayla) Alanında Doğal Olarak Yetiştiriciliği Yapılan Kırmızı Benekli Alabalık Salmo trutta macrostigma (Dummeril,1858) Balıklarında Görülen Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (Fouget, 1878) Parazitinin Enfestasyonu

Abstract

Bu araştırma Mersin ilinde (Çamlıyayla) alaninda doğal olarak yetiştiriciliği yapilan kirmizi benekli alabalik Salmo trutta macrostigma (Dummeril,1858) baliklarinda görülen ani mortalitenin nedenini ortaya koymak için yapılmıştır. Bu amaçla ölmek üzere olan balıklar parazitolojik incelendi. Mortalitenin Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (Fouget, 1878 ) parazitinden kaynaklandığı tespit edildi. Enfeksiyonun tedavisinde FMC (2ml konsatrasyonunda 60 dakika /2-3 gün) banyo uygulaması etkili olmuştur. Uygulama sonrasında mortalitenin durduğu gözlenmiştir.
