Halk akvaryumlarında sergilenen Türkiye deniz balıkları faunasına ait türler

Dünya çapında halk akvaryumlarına ve deniz canlılarına olan ilgi giderek artmaktadır. Bu duruma paralel olarak Türkiye'de de halk akvaryumları ilgi çekmeye başlamıştır. Çalışmada İstanbul, Ankara, Bursa ve Antalya'da bulunan halk akvaryumlarındaki sistemler ve sergilenen türler incelenmiş, yetkilileri ile yüz yüze görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda, Chondrichthyes (kıkırdaklı balıklar) grubundan 4 ordo ve 8 familyaya ait 8 tür, Osteichthyes (kemikli balıklar) grubundan ise 9 ordo ve 24 familya ait 59 tür olmak üzere toplamda 67 adet Türkiye sularından kayıt edilmiş balık türü tespit edilmiştir. Tespit edilen türlerin habitatları incelendiğinde 57 türle en çok bentik türlerin halk akvaryumlarında tercih edildiği görülmüştür. Bundan başka 6 adet semipelajik, 3 adet epipelajik ve 1 adet pelajik tür tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca türlerin denizlerimizdeki dağılımı incelendiğinde Karadeniz'de bulunan 40, Marmara Denizi'nde bulunan 48, Ege Denizi'nde ve Akdeniz'de bulunan 62 türün halk akvaryumlarında sergilendiği belirlenmiştir
