Comparative Study of some Haematological Parameters in European Eel (Anguilla anguilla L., 1758) Caught from Different Regions of Ceyhan River (Adana, Turkey)

Abstract

This study was carried out in a agricultural, industrial, domestic and slaughterhouse discharging region (around Büyükmangıt Village) of Ceyhan River and just under the dam’s crest of Aslantaş (Osmaniye) founded on the same river in the summer season of 2004. Water temperature, chemical oxygen demand (COD), pH, nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N), nitrite-nitrogen (NO2- N), ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N), and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) values in these two stations were determined to the comparative effects of possible differences of water quality on haematological parameters. Forty fish were caught monthly from each station. Erythrocyte, leucocyte, haemoglobine (Hb), leucocyte cell (lymphocyte, monocyte, neutrophil, eosinophil) proportions and sizes of these cells of the fish were compared for two stations. As regard to water quality parameters, Station II was found in contaminated. Moreover, 75% of fish from Station II were found to be infested by swim bladder parasite Anguillicola crassus. In the study, leucocyte values and neutrophil proportion were found increased by means of environmental stressors (P<0.05).

Ceyhan Nehri (Adana, Türkiye)’nin farklı bölgelerinden yakalanan avrupa yılan balığı (Anguilla anguilla L., 1758)’nda bazı hematolojik parametrelerin karşılaştırmalı çalışması. Araştırma, 2004 yılının yaz döneminde Ceyhan nehri’nin tarımsal, sanayi, mezbaha ve evsel atıklarının deşarj olduğu bölge (Büyükmangıt köyü) ile aynı nehir üzerinde kurulu olan Aslantaş barajı kret altı bölgesi (Osmaniye)’nde yapılmıştır. İstasyonlardaki su kalitesinin olası farklılıklarının hematolojik parametreler üzerine karşılaştırmalı etkilerini ortaya koymak için suyun sıcaklık, kimyasal oksijen ihtiyacı, pH, nitrat nitrojeni (NO3-N), nitrit nitrojeni (NO2N), amonyak nitrojeni (NH3-N), çözülebilir reaktif fosfor düzeyleri belirlenmiştir. Her bir istasyondan aylık 40’ar balık yakalanmış ve balıklarda hematolojik parametrelerden eritrosit, lökosit miktarları, hemoglobin, lökosit hücre (lenfosit, monosit, nötrofil, ösinofil) oranları ve bu hücrelerin büyüklükleri karşılaştırılmıştır. Su kalite parametreleri açısından Ceyhan nehri’nin kirli olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, bu istasyondan yakalanan balıkların %75’inin hava kesesi paraziti (Anguillicola crassus) ile infeste olduğu bulunmuştur. Araştırmada, lökosit miktarı ile nötrofil hücre oranlarının belirtilen stres faktörlerinden dolayı arttığı bildirilmiştir (P
