Gammarids Reaction to Borax and Investigation of Japanese Fish (Carassius auratus) Feces Depend on Acanthocephal Parasitisim Rate

Öz

In this study, LC₅₀ value of borax on Gammarids was determined and also parasitism rate of acanthocephal parasites in Kızılırmak (Avanos) determined from collected gammarid samples. The LC₅₀ value was determined as 813,53 ppm on gammarids exposed to 20-2000 ppm borax for 24 hours. It was obatined that 7% of 600 individuals were parasitized by acanthocephaly parasites that we collected from river by plastic sieve. Gammarid body parts that containing cystacanths (10 cystacanths) fed to one Japanese fish. Ten cystacanths were found to be excreted with feces to the outside as cystacanth stage. Gammarids that have parasite cystacanths inside their bodies, cystacanth eggs were observed between its hemocytes with Giemsa staining technique.

Gammaridlerin Boraksa Karşı Tepkisi ve Akantosefal Parazitlenme Oranına Bağlı Japon Balığı Dışkısının İncelenmesi

Öz

Bu çalışmada, Boraksın gammaridler üzerindeki LC₅₀ değeri ve toplanan gammarid örneklerinin Kızılırmak (Avanos)’ta akantosefal parazitler tarafından parazitlenme oranı belirlenmiştir. 20-2000 ppm boraks dozlarına 24 saat süre ile maruz kalan gammaridler üzerinde LC₅₀ değeri 813,53 ppm olarak belirlenmiştir. Irmaktan,  plastik elek ile toplanan 600 bireyden %7’sinin akantosefal parazitler tarafından parazitlendiği saptanmıştır. On adet sistakant içeren disekte edilmiş gammarid vücut parçaları bir adet Japon balığına yedirilmiştir. Yedirilen on sistakantın da dışarı dışkı ile sistakant evrede atıldıkları tespit edilmiştir. Vücutlarında parazit sistakantı bulunan gammarid hemositleri boyanmış ve hemositleri arasında akantosefal parazitlerin yumurtalarının varlığı giemsa boyama tekniği ile gözlemlenmiştir.
