Pomacea snails have been interested around the world due to their rich biological contents. In this study, we assessed the living condition and feeding strategies of catfish (Loricariidae) with Pomacea maculata. We used thirty catfish and ten P.maculata in three replicates for four months. There were two groups as: Control and P. maculata (catfish and P.maculata together). The body weights and lengths of catfish were measured monthly. Also feeding behavior of catfish was recorded during the trial. There were significant increases determined in last weight, total weight gain, last body length, and total body length gain in the Pomacea group compared to Control. It was observed that catfish in the Pomacea group ate the food which was lumped on the mucous of P.maculata. These results suggested that due to this feeding behavior of catfish, they had good progress. It can be concluded that P.maculata can be beneficial for ornamental fisheries.

Pomacea maculata ile Cüce Vatoz Balığının Ortak Yaşamı ve Beslenme Açısından Faydaları

Öz

Pomacea salyangozları, zengin biyolojik içerikleri nedeniyle dünya çapında ilgi görmektedir. Bu çalışmada Pomacea maculata ile cüce vatozun (Loricariidae) yaşam koşullarını ve beslenme stratejilerini değerlendirdik. Dört ay boyunca otuz cüce vatoz balığı ve on P.maculata kullanıldı. Kontrol ve P. maculata (cüce vatoz balığı ve P.maculata birlikte) olmak üzere iki grup oluşturuldu. Cüce vatoz balıklarının vücut ağırlıkları ve uzunlukları aylık olarak ölçüldü. Ayrıca deneme süresince cüce vatoz balıklarının beslenme davranışları da kayıt altına alındı. Bitiş ağırlık, toplam ağırlık artışı, bitiş canlı uzunluk ve toplam canlı uzunluk artışında Pomacea grubunda kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı artışlar tespit edildi. Pomacea grubunda yer alan cüce vatoz balıklarının P.maculata'nın mukusları üzerinde topaklaşan yemleri yedikleri görüldü. Bu sonuçlar, cüce vatoz balıklarının bu beslenme davranışlarından dolayı iyi bir ilerleme kaydettiklerini göstermiştir. P.maculata'nın süs balıkçılığı için faydalı olabileceği sonucuna varılabilir.
