Trichodina puytoraci Lom, 1962 and Trichodina lepsii Lom, 1962 (Peritrichida: Ciliophora) infestations on mugilids caught at the Black Sea Coast of Sinop in Turkey

İki trichodina türü olan Trichodina puytoraci Lom, 1962 and Trichodina lepsii Lom, 1962, Türkiye'de Karadeniz'deki Sinop kıyılarından yakalanan Mugil cephalus L, 1758 ve Liza aurata Risso, 1810 balıklarında ilk defa olarak belirlenmiştir. Her iki tür de aynı ortamda bulunan diğer balık türlerinde değil de sadece kefal balıklarında bulunmuştur. M. cephalus için enfestasyon oranı (%) ve ortalama parazit sayısı sırasıyla %100 ve 188,5 ± 56,3 olarak belirlenmişken, bu değerler L. aurata için %40.6 ve 5,46 ± l ,07 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Taksonomik ve morfometrik veriler de bu makalede sunulmuştur.

Türkiye'nin Karadeniz'deki Sinop kıyılarından yakalanan kefal balıklarındaki Trichodina puytoraci lom, 1962 ve Trichodina lepsii Lom, 1962 (Peritrichida: Ciliophora) enfestasyonları

Two trichodina species, Trichodina puytoraci Lorn, 1962 and Trichodina lepsii Lom, 1962, were identified for the first time on Mugii cephalus L, 1758 and Liza aurata Risso, 1810 caught in the Black Sea off Sinop in Turkey. Both parasite species were found to be specific for Mugilids and were not encountered on any other fish species found in the same sampling site. While the infestation prevalence (%) and mean intensity level were 100% and 188.5 ± 56.3 trichodina per infested fish, respectively, for M. cephalus, they were 40.6% and 5.46 ± 1.07 trichodina per infested fish for L. aurata. The taxonomic and morphometric data are also presented.
