Abstract

Bu çalışma Türkçe’de vantuz balıkları olarak bilinen genellikle köpekbalıkları, vatozlar, deniz kaplumbağaları, deniz memelileri veya büyük kemikli balıklara tutunarak yaşamını sürdüren Echeneidae familyasının Türkiye sularında ki türlerine yönelik incelemeleri kapsamaktadır. Echeneidae familyasının en nadir türü olan Remora australis’in fiziksel kanıtı niteliğinde ki bir birey bu çalışmada rapor edilmektedir. Ayrıca diğer familya üyelerinden Remora osteochir ve Echeneis naucrates’in de Türkiye denizlerindeki dağılımları ve konaklarıyla olan ekolojik ilişkileri saha gözlemlerine dayalı olarak ortaya konulmaktadır. Sonuç olarak bu çalışma ile Türkiye ihtiyofaunasında dört tür ile temsil edilen Echeneidae familyasının mevcut statüsü ve ekolojik ilişkileri incelenmekte ve elde edilen türlere ait yeni kayıtlar sunulmaktadır.

The Distribution of Sucker Fishes (Echeneidae) in the Seas of Turkey

Abstract

This study included the species of the family Echeneidae, known as sucker fishes in Turkish, which usually survive by attaching to sharks, rays, sea turtles, marine mammals or large bony fishes, in the waters of Turkey. Also, an specimens, which is the physical evidence of Remora australis, the rarest species of Echeneidae, is reported in this study. In addition, the distribution of other members of the family, Remora osteochir and Echeneis naucrates in the seas of Turkey and their ecological relationships with their hosts are also presented based on field observations. In conclusion, this study examines the current status and ecological relationships of the family Echeneidae, which is represented by four species in the ichthyofauna of Turkey, and presents new records of the species obtained.
