Digenean parasites of Atlantic horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) in the Turkish Black Sea coast

Abstract

In the present study, we investigated the digenean parasites of Atlantic horse mackerel, Trachurus trachurus (L., 1758), in the Turkish Black Sea coast for the first time. Fish were collected throughout a year period from local fishermen in Sinop. A total of 256 fish specimens were weighed and measured, subsequently examined for parasites using conventional methods under an Olympus microscope (BX53) equipped with a digital camera (DP50). The examination included gills, pharynx, body cavity and visceral organs (stomach, intestine, liver, swim bladder and gonads). Parasites recovered were fixed and preserved using methods commonly applied. A total of five species including adults of Prodistomum polonii (Molin 1879) Bray and Gibson 1990, Ectenurus lepidus Looss, 1907, Monascus filiformis (Rudolphi, 1819) Looss, 1907, Lasiotocus typicus (Nicoll, 1912) and metacercaria of Stephanostomum cesticillum (Molin, 1858) Looss, 1899 were identified. Each parasite species were counted, their prevalence (%) and mean intensity values were determined according to Bush et al. (1997). Kruskal-Wallis test (Non-parametric ANOVA) was performed to find out the significant differences in the mean intensity values of the parasite for two length classes of fish as well as for the seasons. All the statistical tests were performed at the significance level of 5%. The calculated overall infection prevalence (%) and mean intensity values were 48.8% and 3.78±0.34, respectively. This data is the first on the digenean parasite fauna of the Atlantic horse mackerel collected from the Turkish Black Sea coast. Lasiotocus typicus and Stephanostomum cesticillum are new parasite records for Turkey.

Bu araştırmada, karagöz istavrit balığının, Trachurus trachurus (L., 1758) digenea parazitleri Türkiye’nin Karadeniz kıyısıında ilk kez araştırıldı. Balıklar 1 yıl boyunca Sinop’taki yerel balıkçılardan temin edildi. Toplam 256 adet istavrit balığının boyları ve ağırlıkları ölçüldü, ardından dijital kamera (DP50) ile donatılmış Olympus (BX53) marka bir mikroskop altında rutin parazitolojik metotlar kullanılarak parazitleri tanımlandı. Solungaç, yutak, vücut boşluğu ve iç organlar (mide, bağırsak, karaciğer, yüzme kesesi ve gonadlar) incelendi. Bulunan parazitler yaygın olarak uygulanan yöntemler kullanılarak fikse edildi ve saklandı. Ergin Prodistomum polonii (Molin 1879) Bray ve Gibson 1990, Ectenurus lepidus Looss, 1907, Monascus filiformis (Rudolphi, 1819) Looss, 1907, Lasiotocus typicus (Nicoll, 1912) ve metaserker Stephanostomum cesticillum (Molin, 1858) Looss, 1899 olmak üzere toplam beş tür tespit edildi. Her bir parazit türü sayıldı ve onların enfeksiyon oranı (%) ile enfekte balık başına ortalama parazit sayısı Bush ve ark. (1997) göre belirlendi. İki boy sınıfındaki parazit yükü arasındaki fark MannWhitney U testi ile test edildi. Tüm istatistiksel testler %5 önem seviyesine göre değerlendirildi. İncelenen balıkların tamamındaki enfeksiyon oranı %48.8 ve enfekte balık başına ortalama parazit sayısı ise 3.78±0.34 olarak hesaplandı. Bu veriler Türkiye’nin Karadeniz kıyısından yakalanan karagöz istavrit balığı için bir ilktir. Lasiotocus typicus ve Stephanostomum cesticillum türleri Türkiye parazit faunası için yeni kayıttırlar
