Abstract

2021 yılında yapılan mevsimsel Suruga Körfezi’nde gerçekleştirilen trol örneklemeleri sırasında bir adet Chaunax abei (Le Danois, 1978) bireyinde ilk kez rapor edilmek üzere tek gözlülük (tek taraflı anoftalmi) gözlenmiştir. Bu rapor, Chaunacid türleri içinde böyle bir anormalliğin rapor edilen ilk vakasını işaret etmektedir. Tek gözlülük fotoğraflarla ortaya konulmuş ve morfometrik karakterlerin tanımlayıcı istatistikleri sunulmuştur.

Abstract

The first case of monocularism (unilateral anophthalmia) was observed in a single specimen of Chaunax abei (Le Danois, 1978) during the seasonal trawl sampling in Suruga Bay in 2021. This occurrence marks the first reported incident of such an abnormality within the Chaunacid species. The monocularism was evidenced by photographs, and descriptive statistics of morphometric characters were presented.

Ethical Statement

No specific ethical approval was necessary, and no ethical contraventions occurred in this report.

Thanks

All the results were obtained with help of all availability of the Population Biology Laboratory of Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology. Additionally, we much appreciated the staff of Seishin-Maru trawl vessel for providing the fishes to us.
