A karyological analysis of Garra rufa (Heckel, 1843) Pisces, Cyprinidae) from the Eastern Mediterranean River Basin in Turkey

Bu çalışmada Müftü deresinden yakalanan 12 Garra rufa örneğinin solungaç epitel hücrelerinde Havada Kurutma Yöntemi değişikliğe uğratılarak bir sitogenetik inceleme yapılmıştır. Karyotipik analiz sonucunda C. rufa'nın 2n = 44 kromozom sayısına ve 22 Metasentrik, 20 Submetasentrik, satellit taşıyan 2 Akrosentrik kromozoma sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir (NF = 85). Haploit idiogram, kromozom ölçümleri yapılarak hazırlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada G. rufa'nm karyotipi ilk kez detaylı olarak tanımlanmıştır.

Türkiye' nin Doğu Akdeniz Nehirlerinde bulunan Garra rufa (Heckel, 1843) (Pisces, Cyprinidae)' nın bir karyolojik analizi

A cytogenetic investigation on 12 Garra rufa (Heckel, 1843) specimens, from Müftü stream, was carried out by a slight modification of the conventional air-dried technique, using gill epithelial cells. The diploid chromosome number of this species was 2n = 44, comprising 22 metacentric and 20 submetacentric chromosomes and 2 acrocentric chromosome carrying satellites (NF = 85). A haploid idiogram, based on the chromosome measurements, was prepared. A detailed standard karyotype of C. rufa was established for the first time in this study.
