Abstract

In this research the place of seahorses in taxonomy, their species variation, biological characteristics such as morphology, reproduction and feeding together with their cultivation and usage were investigated. Seahorses belong to the Syngnathidae family of the classis Osteichthyes and have 33 species. They have exoskeleton formed of bony rings. Sex differentiation can be made externally. They are carnivorous animals and show monogamy as a reproductive behavior. Three species are known to exist in our seas, having the largest species variation in Indo-Pacific Ocean. While they are largely used in marine aquaria, as ornaments and pharmacy, their natural populations declined mainly due to their consumption as aphrodisiac in some countries. Cultivation studies are carried out under controlled conditions to support their natural populations. These types of studies make it possible to protect the seahorse populations and also supply economic contribution

Özet

Bu araştırmada denizatlarının sistematikteki yeri, tür çeşitliliği, morfoloji, üreme ve beslenme gibi biyolojik özellikleri ve yetiştiriciliği ile dünyadaki dağılım ve kullanım alanları incelenmiştir. Denizatları Osteichthyes sınıfının Syngnathidae familyası üyesine ait ve denizatlarının 33 türü bulunmaktadır. Kemiksi halkalardan oluşan dış iskelete sahiptirler. Eşey ayrımı dış görünümden yapılabilir. Beslenme bakımından karnivordur ve üreme davranışı olarak monogam özelliği gösterirler. Ülkemiz sularında 3 tür bulunurken en fazla tür çeşitliliği Hint ve Pasifk Okyanusu'nda görülür. Deniz akvaryumculuğunda, süs eşyası ve eczacılık gibi alanlarda yaygın bir şekilde kullanılırken, bazı ülkelerde afrodizyak etkisinden dolayı besin olarak tüketiminden dolayı doğal populasyonlarda azalmaya neden olmuştur. Bu nedenle doğal populasyonlarının arttırılması için kontrollü ortam koşullarında yetiştiricilik çalışmaları üzerinde durulmaktadır. Bu tür çalışmalar denizatlarının neslinin devamına olanak sağlayacağı gibi ülke ekonomilerine de önemli katkı sağlayacaktır
