Parasites were fixed with AFA (Acetic acid-Formaline-Alcohol) fixative and permanently mounted with Canadabalsam.Results: Two digenean species were recorded: Prosorhynchoides gracilescens (Bucephalidae), which is commonly found in L. piscatorius,and Aphallus tubarium (Cryptogonimidae), which is rarely harbored in L. piscatorius.Conclusion: Both species comprise the newly discovered parasite fauna of Turkey.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Objective: There is no study on the trematode parasites of Lophius piscatorius.
📊
Key Findings & Data:The aim of this study is to address the lack of knowledgeabout the parasites of angler fish from the coasts of Turkish seas.Methods: Frozen individuals of L. piscatorius from the coasts of Izmir were brought to Ataturk University, and their visceral organs wereparasitologically investigated.

Abstract

Objective: There is no study on the trematode parasites of Lophius piscatorius. The aim of this study is to address the lack of knowledgeabout the parasites of angler fish from the coasts of Turkish seas.Methods: Frozen individuals of L. piscatorius from the coasts of Izmir were brought to Ataturk University, and their visceral organs wereparasitologically investigated. Parasites were fixed with AFA (Acetic acid-Formaline-Alcohol) fixative and permanently mounted with Canadabalsam.Results: Two digenean species were recorded: Prosorhynchoides gracilescens (Bucephalidae), which is commonly found in L. piscatorius,and Aphallus tubarium (Cryptogonimidae), which is rarely harbored in L. piscatorius.Conclusion: Both species comprise the newly discovered parasite fauna of Turkey.

Özet

Amaç: Türkiye’de daha önce Lophius piscatorius’un trematod parazitleri araştırılmamıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye kıyılarında yaşayan fener balıklarının parazit faunası hakkındaki bilgi eksikliğini gidermektir. Yöntemler: İzmir kıyılarında yakalanmış olan L.piscatorius’lar dondurulmuş olarak Atatürk Üniversitesi’ne getirilmiş ve balıkların iç organ- larındaki parazitler araştırılmıştır. Tespit edilen parazitler AFA (Asetik asit-Formalin-Alkol) fiksatifiyle tespit edilip, Kanada balsamıyla kalıcı preparatları yapılmıştır. Bulgular: İncelenen balıklardan iki digenea türü tespit edilmiştir. Bunlar L. piscatorius’ta sıkça rastlanan Prosorhynchoides gracilescens (Bu- cephalidae) ve L.piscatorius’ta nadiren rastlanan Aphallus tubarium (Cryptogonimidae)’dur. Sonuç: Her iki tür de Türkiye parazit faunası için yeni kayıttır.
