Lateral line and caudal fin anomalies in common sole (Solea solea Linnaeus, 1758) from southern Aegean Sea

Abstract

This study presents two anomalies that was found in two wild common sole (Solea solea Linnaeus, 1758) specimens. Specimens were captured with 80 mm stretched mesh size trammel net incidentally (in June 2014 and in December 2015) from Güllük Bay, southwest of Turkey where is one of the important common sole fishery areas. Female common sole specimen has lateral line anomaly. According to observations, the lateral line has unordinary shape – labyrinth like, furcate. Other sample, male specimen, has caudal fin anomaly. The specimen has large body size and hence, it was thought that having no caudal fin did not affect its swimming ability besides activities like feeding. The present study contributes to literature about rare anomalies in wild fish stocks.

Öz

Bu çalışmada doğal ortamdan yakalanan iki dil balığı (Solea solea Linnaeus, 1758) bireyinde bulunan anomalilere yer verilmiştir. Bireyler, önemli dil balığı avlak sahalarından biri olan Türkiye’nin güneybatısında yer alan Güllük Körfezi’nden tesadüfi olarak (Haziran 2014, Aralık 2015) 80 mm ağ göz genişliğine sahip fanyalı uzatma ağları ile yakalanmıştır. Dişi dil balığı bireyinde yanal çizgi anomalisi görülmektedir. İncelemelere göre yanal çizgi sıra dışı bir şekle sahiptir (labirent gibi, çatallı). Diğer erkek birey ise kaudal yüzgeç anomalisine sahiptir. Bu bireyin kaudal yüzgecinin olmaması, büyük bir vücuda sahip olması nedeniyle beslenme gibi aktivitelerinin yanı sıra yüzme yeteneğini etkilenmediğini düşündürmüştür. Bu çalışma literatüre doğal balık stoklarında nadir görülen anomaliler ile ilgili katkı yapmaktadır.
