Parabrachiella richiardii (Ben Hassine & Raibaut, 1978)’nin Türkiye Denizlerinden İlk Bildirimi

Bu çalışmada, İskenderun Körfezi’nden yakalanan, ekonomik değeri oldukça yüksek olan ve Akdeniz Bölgesi’nde su ürünleri yetiştiriciliğinde alternatif bir balık türü olan minakop (Umbrina cirrosa) ‘un, ektoparazit faunası incelenmiştir. Karadeniz, Ege, Akdeniz, Doğu Atlantik kıyılarına kadar uzanan geniş bir yayılım gösteren U. cirrosa’dan günümüze kadar 11 adet parazit türü rapor edilmiş olup, bunlardan 4’ü endo, 7’si ise Kopepoda alt sınıfına dahil ekto-parazit türleridir. Bu araştırma kapsamında incelenen minakoplar üzerinden, Parabrachiella richiardii ve P. hostilis olmak üzere 2 parazitik kopepod türü tespit edilmiş olup, türe özgü morfolojik karakterleri mikroskop fotoğrafları ile ortaya konmuştur. İskenderun körfezi’nden tespit edilen bu iki parazitik kopepod türünden P. richiardii, Türkiye denizlerinden ilk kez rapor edilmiştir.

First Report of Parabrachiella richiardii (Ben Hassine & Raibaut, 1978) in Turkish Coasts

In this study, ecto-parasite fauna of Umbrina cirrosa, an economically important marine fish species captured from Iskenderun Bay, was determined. To date, a total of 11 species of parasites have been reported from which has been widely distributed particularly in the Black Sea, Aegean Sea, Mediterranean, eastern Atlantic coasts. 4 of the 11 species reported were endo-parasites, whereas the other 7 species were ecto-parasites which belong to subclass, Copepoda. Two species of parasitic copepods, Parabrachiella richiardii and Parabrachiella hostilis were determined from the U. cirrosa indivudals examined in the present study and photographs of the key diagnostic characters of both species were presented. Of the two parasitic copepod species determined in İskenderun Bay, P. richiardii found in this research was reported for the first time from the Turkish coasts.
