Abstract

European eels (Anguilla anguilla), collected from the Ceyhan River (Adana, Turkey) in 2002, were examined in terms of the presence of swimbladder nematoda. The existence of infection with Anguillicola crassus, a pathogenic swimbladder parasite, was identified in 50 out of 64 specimens. The total number of parasites, prevalence (%), parasite abundance and mean intensity of parasite values of July and November samples were 93, 82.86%, 2-7, 3.31 ± 1.32 and 56, 72.41%, 1-5, 3.20 ± 1.30, respectively. There was no significant histopathological destruction in the internal organs of the infected eels.

Özet

2002 y›l›nda Ceyhan Nehri (Adana, Türkiye)’nden avlanan Avrupa y›lan bal›klar› (Anguilla anguilla), yüzme kesesi nematodunun varl›¤› yönünden incelenmifllerdir. ‹ncelenen 64 bal›¤›n 50’sinde, yüzme kesesi paraziti Anguillicola crassus infeksiyonuna rastlan›lm›flt›r. Temmuz ve Kas›m örneklerindeki; parazit say›lar›, prevalans (%) aral›¤› ve ortalama parazit yo¤unlu¤u de¤erleri, s›ras›yla; 93, % 82,86, 2-7, 3,31 ± 1,32 ve 56, % 72,41, 1-5, 3,20 ± 1,30 olarak bulunmufltur. ‹nfekte bal›klar›n›n iç organlar›nda histopatolojik bir olguya rastlanmam›flt›r.
