A morphological study (SEM) on a parasitic copepod; Lernanthropus kroyeri van Beneden, 1851

Parazitik kopepod Lernanthropus kroyeri van Beneden, 1851’in morfolojik özellikleri (SEM). Bu çalışmada Bodrum civarındaki balık çiftliklerinden sağlanan levrek balığı parazitleri incelenmiştir. Çalışmalar sonunda parazitik kopepodlardan Lernanthropus kroyeri van Beneden, 1851, Caligus minimus Otto, 1821, Ceratothoa oestroides (Risso, 1826) tespit edilmiştir. Bu türlerden L. Kroyeri’nin levrek balığının solungaç filamentlerine tutunmaya iyi uyum sağlamış önemli parazitlerden biri olduğu görülmüştür. Bu nedenle Lernanthropus kroyeri’in morfolojik özellikleri taramalı elektron mikroskobu ve ışık mikroskobu ile incelenmiş; vücut üyeleri ve ağız parçaları şekillerle ve fotoğraflarla açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır.

Lernanthropus kroyeri van Beneden, 1851'in morfolojik özellikleri (SEM)

In this study, the sea basses obtained from the fish farms in Bodrum province have been examined for parasites. Lernanthropus kroyeri van Beneden, 1851, Caligus minimus Otto, 1821, Ceratothoa oestroides (Risso, 1826) were found as parasitic copepods. L. kroyeri were found as one of the most important parasites well adapted to attachment to the gill filaments of sea bass. The morphological characteristics of Lernanthropus kroyeri van Beneden, 1851 were studied by means of scanning electron microscopy and light microscopy. The appendages and mouthparts of the parasite are illustrated.
