| Summary: | <b> Aim:</b> This study was carried out in order to determine the
parasites in fish cultivated in Seyhan Dam Lake, Adana province.<p>
<b> Materials and Methods:</b> In this study, examples of rainbow
trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) farming at cage, carp (Cyprinus
carpio), freshwater bass (perch) (Sander lucioperca),
shiraz (Capoeta sp), and velvet fish (Tinca tinca) fishing at
Adana Seyhan Dam Lake were taken every month for a year.
These samples were brought to Adana Veterinary Control
Institutes Parasitology laboratory and were examined using
the methods the parasitological diagnostic screening of ecto
and endo parasites.<p>
<b> Results:</b> 68 fishes (21.32%) of 319 fishes infected with at
least one parasite were detected. Infestation rates by fish
species; as of rainbow trout 3.33%, 46.58% carp fish, fresh
water bass 10%, shiraz fish 30.3%, velvet fish 8.33% was
calculated. Parasites at that study together with the rates of
detection as follows: as ecto parasites Trichodina domerguei;
% 3,76, Dactylogyrus minutus; % 9,09, D.sphyrna; % 8,15,
Lernaea cyprinicae; % 0,31, as endo parasites Eimeria sp.;
% 0,94, Asymphylodora tincae; % 2,52 and Ligula intestinalis;
% 0,94. The highest infestation rate was in the spring
with 30.11% at the seasonal assessment. The most parasites
which were detected was the month of March with a rate of
32.26% per month, Months of January, April and May were
followed it with the rate of 29.03%.<p>
<b> Conclusions:</b> The presence of common parasites in these
fish in the same environment has resulted in a more careful
protective system in the aquaculture system. |
