Distribution of Fish Species in the Van Lake Basin
Abstract
This
study was carried out to determine the fish species of Van Lake Basin between in 2008-2012. Van Lake Basin is a closed basin that shaped approximately
2.3 % of Turkey. Because of closed basin character, the differences indicated in
species diversity. Basin is rich in
endemic species diversity with plant and animal species. This richness were
reflected to fish species. All of the fish species naturally occurring in the
lake basin are consist of endemic species. Alburnus tarichi, Alburnus
timarensis, Barbus ercisianus, Capoeta cosswigi and Oxynoemacheilus ercisianus exhibited a natural
distribution. Cyprinus carpio, Carassius gibelio, Gambusia holbrooki and Aphanius mento were constituted
population from various water sources. In
addition, escaped from fish farm sorvaccinated to water resources Oncorhynchus
mykiss was unable to create the
population. Barbus ercisianus and
Capoeta
cosswigi shown to create
hybrid fish species in Zilan and Deliçay. Cyprinus carpio and Carassius
carassius shown to create hybrid fish
species in Nazik Lake.
