Mersin Bölgesinde yetiştiriciliği yapılan bazı akvaryum balıkları (Poecilidae)' nda rastlanılan Lernea cyprinaceae (Linnaeus, 1758) enfeksiyonu

Bu araştırma Nisan - Ağustos 2002 tarihleri arasında Mersin Bölgesi'nde bir akvaryum işletmesinde Poecilidae familyasına ait balıklarda görülen ani ölümlerin nedenini ortaya koymak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Balıkların deri, yüzgeç ve solungaç dokularından alınan parazitler laboratuvarda incelenmesi sonucunda ölümlere neden olan etmenin Lemaea cyprinacea {Linnaeus, 1758) olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmada 110 adet balık incelenmiş olup, bunlardan 49 adetinin parazit ile enfeste olduğu saptanmıştır. Ayrıca parazitin morfolojik özellikleri ve balıklarda oluşturduğu semptomlar incelenmiştir. Balıklar Kloramin T (10 ppm /1 saat / 3 gün) kullanılarak tedavi edilmiştir.
