First Record of Oxynoemacheilus angorae (Steindachner, 1897) from Perşembe Plateau Meandering Streams in the Ordu-Turkey
Abstract
In the current study, for the first time, Oxynoemacheilus angorae samples were caught from Perşembe Plateau Meandering Streams in the Ordu-Turkey (Middle Black Sea Region). In the field studies, fifteen O. angorae individuals were sampled using electrofishing gear. After the captured samples were photographed, they were placed in fish transfer containers and transferred to the laboratory. Some metric numbers and meristic characteristics of the samples brought to the laboratory were recorded. The mean value of body weight of fish samples was determined as 2.39±0.576 g. The mean values of standard length, fork length and total length of the samples were determined as 5.48±0.49 cm, 6.23±0.54 cm and 6.56±0.59 cm, respectively. The result of this study, new fish species was added to freshwater fish fauna of Ordu and also provided a new data for the distribution areas O. angorae in Turkey.
