A total of 65 individuals from 3 different fish species, Capoeta antalyensis (n: 15), Aphanius mento (n: 29), and Pseudophoxinus battalgil (n: 21), were examined for helminth parasites (Nemathelminthes) between May and July of 2009. A total of 123 parasites of 3 species were found in these fish, consisting of 3 nematodes: Rhabdochona denudata, Eustrongylides excisus larvae, and Contracaecum sp. larvae. Among these species, R. denudata was recorded in the intestine of C. antalyensis, with a total of 92 parasites found in 13 of the 15 C. antalyensis examined. The overall prevalence of this species was 86.6%. Two further species of nematodes, Contracaecum sp. larvae and E.. excisus larvae, were found in the abdominal cavities of P battalgil and A. mento, respectively. Contracaecum sp. larvae were found in 10 of 21 fish examined and a total of 29 specimens were recorded, making the overall prevalence of this species 47.6%. Only 2 E. excisus larvae were found in 2 of the 29 fish examined...
CHECKLIST OF MARINE , FRESHWATER, AND AQUARIUM FISH PARASITES IN TURKEY
2021
This book entitled “Checklist of Marine, Freshwater, and Aquarium Fish Parasites in Turkey” is the most comprehensive and up to date source for publications on the parasites of fish living in different aquatic environments in Turkey. Fishes inhabited in the seas surrounding Turkey, inland waters as well as aquarium can be infected by at least one parasite species in their life span and become subject to several diseases. Parasites are among the significant parts of biological diversity of living sources and they have to be monitored and investigated to enhance protection strategies against them in term of fish health status. Thus, this book will be a good source for the further parasitological studies on wild as well as cultured fishes in Turkey in the light of current publications. This book consists of 311 pages which was written in English.
Nematode and acanthocephalan parasites of marine fish of the eastern Black Sea coasts of Turkey
Turkish Journal of Zoology, 2013
This is the first paper on the endohelminth fauna of marine fish from the eastern Black Sea coasts of Turkey. The acanthocephalan fauna of Turkey includes 11 species (Öktener, 2005; Keser et al., 2007) and the nematode fauna includes 16 species (Öktener, 2005). There is currently no study on acanthocephalans of marine fish from the Black Sea coasts of the country. In the present study, A. irregularis, Ascarophis sp., and Philometra globiceps have been recorded for the first time from Turkey. The purpose of this study is to contribute to the fauna of acanthocephalans and nematodes of marine fish from the north of Turkey. 2. Materials and methods The study area is the eastern Black Sea coast of Turkey (Trabzon: 41°01′N, 39°43′E; Rize: 41°02′N, 40°32′E; and Artvin: 41°25′N 41°23′E) (Figure). Between June 2007 and December 2010, 625 fish from 25 species were collected. The parasites were fixed with 70% ethyl alcohol for nematodes and AFA (acetic acid : formalin : alcohol) for acanthocephalans. The samples were brought to the Parasitology Research Laboratory of the Biology Department of the Faculty of Science of Atatürk University, where the materials were deposited in the appropriate manner. The identification of the fish was established using the works of Slastenenko (1955), Geldiay (1969), and Can and Bilecenoğlu (2005). The descriptions of the parasites were executed using the works of Yamaguti (1963a, 1963b), Golvan (1969), Yorke and Maplestone (1962), Gaevskaya et al. (1975), and Fagerholm (1982). The preparation of the parasites was carried out according to Kruse and Pritchard (1982). The parasitological statistics were calculated according to Bush et al. (1997) and are presented in Table 1. The morphometric values of the parasites are presented in Tables 2 and 3. 3. Results Acanthocephala Eoacanthocephala Neoechinorhynchida Neoechinorhynchidae Neoechinorhynchus agilis (Rudolphi, 1819) Syn: Echinorhynchus agilis Rudolphi, 1819 Host: Liza aurata Infection site: intestine According to Cleave (1922), Neoechinorhynchus agilis is restricted to fish of the genus Mugil in the Mediterranean Sea.
A parasitological study of fish from the Atatürk Dam lake, Turkey
Bulletin of The European Association of Fish Pathologists, 2009
In the present study Mastacembelus mastacembelus, Silurus triostegus, Carasobarbus luteus and Cyprinus carpio caught in the Atatürk Dam Lake were examined for parasites over the period of July to August 2006. This paper presents the first records for the occurrence of Mastacembelocleidus heteranchorus, Senga mastacembeli and Postgangesia inarmata from Turkey. The Atatürk Dam is built on the Euphrates River and was completed in 1990. It is one of the world’s largest earth-and-rock fill dams with an embankment of 184 m in high and 1820 m in length. The dam is the centerpiece and the largest of the twenty one dams as part of the Southeastern Anatolia Project and the lake created by the dam (the Atatürk Dam Lake) has an area in the region of 817 km2. The lake was designed by DSI (Devlet Su İşleri Genel Müdürlüğü / General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works) and supplies the local area with power and water for irrigation purposes. Twenty eight fish species belonging to eight families h...
Ege Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2023
This study was based on the molecular identification of endoparasites sampled from three economically valuable fish species caught from the waters of the Canakkale (Türkiye). Subjected samples in the study were from chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus Houttuyn, 1782), anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus Linnaeus, 1758), and bogue (Boops boops Linnaeus, 1758) without gender discrimination. The nematode parasites obtained from the samples were sent to molecular diagnostic laboratories in alcohol and the results were interpreted. As a result of the study, Anisakis typica (Diesing, 1860) Baylis, 1920 and Anisakis pegreffii Campana-Rouget and Biocca, 1955 were isolated from the chub mackerel fish and Anisakis pegreffii species were also isolated from anchovy and bogue. This parasite was the most isolated nematode parasite among all nematodes.

One specimen of the small spotted dogfish, Scyliorhinus canicula (L.) was caught with a liver having encapsulated cysts including Anisakis spp. larvae. Tumors occurred on the surface of the liver of this fish species, mostly. After dissection, a total of five nematod larvae were found on surface of liver to be encapsulated. In the macroscopic examination, liver was seen to pale and its surface was haemorhagic due to cysts including larvae. The larvae were morphologically identified as Anisakis spp. and the importance of such cases in small spotted dogfish in base of public health was here pointed out.

The presence of the anisakid nematode Hysterothylacium gadi aduncum (Rudolphi, 1802) is reported for the first time in cultured rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1792) as a new host in freshwater farms from Turkey. This marine parasitic nematode is thought to complete the life cycle in fresh water and rainbow trout could act as the definitive host for this parasite under fresh water culture conditions. Mortalities in the rainbow trout infected with H. gadi aduncum (Rudolphi, 1802), were seen after three to four months period of feeding program with marine fish offal (Sprattus sprattus, Engraulis encrasicolus) and pellet fish food. In the present study, the main cause of mortalities was detected as stomach obstruction formed by aggregation of the adult nematodes which developed from infective third stage larvae. Original measurements and figures are presented.
Some nematodes and acanthocephalans from exotic ornamental freshwater fishes imported into Germany
Folia parasitologica, 1999
Five species of adult nematodes, unidentifiable nematode larvae, and three species of acanthocephalans, were found in freshwater ornamental fishes newly imported into Germany from Brazil, Colombia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nigeria, Peru, Sri Lanka and Thailand. The following species were identified: Adult Nematoda: Pseudocapillaria tomentosa, Capillariidae gen. sp., Dichelyne hartwichi sp. n., Procamallanus (Spirocamallanus) pintoi and Spinitectus allaeri; Acanthocephala: Pseudogorgorhynchus arii gen. et sp. n., Neoechinorhynchus sp. and Pallisentis sp. The nematode Dichelyne hartwichi sp. n. (male only) from the intestine of Chelonodon fluviatilis (Hamilton) from Thailand is characterised mainly by the presence of minute cuticular spines on the tail tip, length of spicules (510 microns) and arrangement of caudal papillae. The acanthocephalan Pseudogorgorhynchus arii sp. n. from the intestine of Ariopsis seemanni (Günther) from Colombia represents a new genus Pseudogorgorhynchus gen. n....
