Büyükçekmece Havzası Eustrongylides excisusin Monogenea Parazit Fauna
Büyükçekmece Dam Lake, located
in the Marmara Region, is the third largest water resource of the six main
reservoirs of Istanbul. It is used as a safe drinking water source. In this
study, the parasitic fauna of the freshwater fish species in Büyükçekmece Dam
Lake was investigated during the period of September 2012-May 2013. Gill nets
were used for the collection of fish specimens from the lake. The fish
specimens were transported to the laboratory in fiberglass tanks and they were kept alive until
parasitological examination. During the dissection, the body cavity, all
internal organs, the gills, the eyes, the skin, and the fins were examined. A
total of 273 fish specimens belonging to nine fish species were examined and 11 parasite species were found in infested
individuals. Ancylodiscoides vistulensis,
Tetraonchus monenteron, Paradiplozoon homoion, Caryophyllaeus laticeps, Bothriocephalus acheilognathi, Raphidascaris acus and Eustrongylides excisus were identified
to the species level. Trichodina
spp., Dactylogyrus spp., Ergasilus spp. and Glochidia larvae were
identified the genus level in infested individuals. Monogenea was determined as
the most common parasite group. Eustrongylides
excisus was also observed as the most prevalent parasite in as different fish
species.
