Occurrence of endo and ectoparasites on Capoeta trutta (Heckel, 1843) and Acanthobrama marmid Heckel, 1843 (Cypriniformes: Cyprininae) inhabiting in Göynük Stream Eastern Anatolia

Abstract

Here, the metazoan parasites of Capoeta trutta (Heckel, 1843) and Acanthobrama marmid Heckel, 1843 fishes in the Göynük stream were sampled between July 2011 and June 2012. During the study, 37 C. trutta and 44 A. marmid were examined. Eight different parasite species were found in C. trutta: Dactylogyrus crivellius, Dactylogyrus lenkorani, Dactylogyrus pulcher, Dogielius mokhayeri, Gyrodactylus sp. 1 (Monogenea), Rhabdochona denudata (Nematoda), Neoechinorhynchus zabensis (Acanthocephala) and Lamproglena pulchella (Copepoda). Five different parasite species were found in A. marmid: Dactylogyrus elegantis, Gyrodactylus sp. 2, Paradiplozoon megan (Monogenea), Caryophyllaeus laticeps (Cestoda) and Ergasilus sieboldi (Copepoda). Infection values of parasite species were calculated. According to the results, it determined that N. zabensis (43.24 %) is dominant species in C. trutta and D. elegantis (70.45 %) is dominant species on A. marmid. The parasites were found on C. trutta, D. crivellius and D. mokhayeri are the first records for parasite fauna in Turkish freshwater fishes. ©Biharean Biologist, Oradea, Romania, 2019
