Aşağı Melet Irmağı (Ordu, Türkiye)’nda Yaşayan Barbus tauricus Kessler, 1877 Otolit Kütle Asimetrisinin Belirlenmesi

Kemikli balıklar, otolit kütle asimetrisinin fizyolojik rolünü değerlendirmede en uygun organizmalardır. Asimetri, balığın vestibular ve işitsel fonksiyonları üzerinde şiddetli etkilere sebep olan bir faktördür ancak bu konuyla ilgili sınırlı sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır. Türkiye sularındaki tatlı su türlerinin asimetrileri hakkında birkaç çalışma vardır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Barbus tauricus Kessler, 1877’un otolit kütle asimetrisini belirlemektir. Balık örnekleri Temmuz 2010- Ekim 2011 tarihleri arasında serpme ağlar kullanılarak aşağı Melet Irmağı’ndan yakalanmıştır. B. tauricus bireylerinin sağ ve sol otolitleri arasındaki fark, paired-t testine göre istatistiksel olarak önemli bulunmuştur (P

Determination of Otolith Mass Asymmetry in Barbus tauricus Kessler, 1877 Inhabiting Lower Melet River (Ordu, Turkey)

Teleost fishes are the most suitable organisms to assess the physiological role of otolithic mass asymmetry. The asymmetry is a factor which caused drastic effects on vestibular and auditory functions of fish. However, there are limited studies on this subject. There are few studies about the asymmetry of freshwater species in Turkish waters. The aim of this study is to determine otolith mass asymmetry of Barbus tauricus Kessler, 1877. Fish samples were caught from the Lower Melet River by using cast nets between July 2010 and October 2011. The difference between right and left otoliths of B. tauricus was statistically significant according to paired-t test result (P
