Abstract


The ever-increasing global trade of ornamental aquarium fishes is one of the most important pathways for aquatic invasion. Occurrence of ornamental freshwater fishes in natural freshwaters has been increasing in recent years. The ornamental trade accounts for a limited but steadily growing proportion of fish introductions to Turkish inlandwaters. In this study, Guppy, Peocilia reticulata, is recorded for the first time from natural inlandwaters of Turkey. P. reticulata was probably released into the wild, but is now established in aquifer of Çeşme-Ildır (İzmir).

Abstract


Giderek artan dünya akvaryum ticareti sucul ortamlardaki istilalara neden olan önemli yollardan birisidir. Son yıllarda tatlısu akvaryum balıklarının doğal tatlısu kaynaklarında varlıklarının tespit edilmesi giderek artmaktadır. Türkiye içsularında yerli olmayan türlerin görülmesinde akvaryum ticaretinin sınırlı olsa da etkisi giderek büyüyen oranda artmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Lepistes (Peocilia reticulata) Türkiye’de doğal içsularında ilk kez kaydedilmiştir. P. reticulata’nın büyük ihtimal ile doğaya bırakıldıkları Çeşme-Ildır (İzmir) akiferine yerleşerek üreyebildikleri görülmüştür.
