Metazoan parasite fauna of conger eel (Conger conger L.) near Gökçeada, Northeasten Aegean Sea, Turkey

Bu çalışma Gökçeada civarında avlanan mığrı (Conger conger) balığının metazoan parazit faunasını belirlemek amacıyla Temmuz, Eylül, Ekim 2011 ve Ocak 2012 tarihlerinde gerçekleştirildi. Bu çalışma sonucunda, digeneaya ait 3 tür, sestoda ait 1 tür, nematoda ait 2 tür, crustaceaya ait 1 tür, ispodaya ait 1 tür olmak üzere 8 tür (Lecithochirium fusiforme, Prosorynchus crucibulum, Helicometra fasciata, Scolex pleuronectis, Anisakis simplex, Cucullanus hians, Hatschekia sp., Praniza larvae) metazoon parazit bulundu. %76.92’lik enfeksiyon yüzdesi ile Lecithochirium fusiforme türü mığrı balığında dominant türdü.

Kuzeydoğu Ege Denizi'nde, Gökçeada civarındaki mığrı balığının (Conger conger L.) metazoan parazit faunası

This investigation was realized to determine the metazoan parasite fauna of conger eel (Conger conger) in July, September, October 2011 and January 2012 near Gökçeada in northeastern Aegean Sea in Turkey. As a result of this study, 8 species of metazoan parasites were found; Lecithochirium fusiforme, Prosorynchus crucibulum, Helicometra fasciata, Scolex pleuronectis, Anisakis simplex, Cucullanus hians, Hatschekia sp., Praniza larvae; belonging three species to digenea, one species to cestoda, two species to nematoda, one species to crustacea, one species to isopoda respectively. Lecithochirium fusiforme was found to be the dominant species with a prevalence of 76.92%.
