Infection of the swim bladder parasite Anguillicoloides crassus in the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) caught from the Gediz Delta (Aegean Sea)
The wild European eels (776 fish, mean total length of 547±91 mm, mean weight 340±198 g) were obtained monthly between October 2015-September 2016 in Gediz Delta (Izmir Bay, Aegean Sea). A total of 263 nematode parasites (Anguillicoloides crassus) were isolated from the swim bladders of 52 parasitiz...

| Summary: | The wild European eels (776 fish, mean total length of 547±91 mm, mean weight 340±198 g) were obtained monthly between October 2015-September 2016 in Gediz Delta (Izmir Bay, Aegean Sea). A total of 263 nematode parasites (Anguillicoloides crassus) were isolated from the swim bladders of 52 parasitized fish. Parasitological indices were found relatively low. The prevalence was 6.7% and the mean intensity was 5.05. The abundance of A. crassus was also calculated as 0.33 in all sampled eels. Gediz Deltası'ndan (İzmir Körfezi, Ege Denizi) Ekim 2015-Eylül 2016 tarihleri arasında Avrupa yılan balıkları (776 balık, ortalama boy 547±91 mm, ortalama ağırlık 340±198 g) aylık olarak temin edilmiştir. Parazitli 52 balığın yüzme keselerinden toplam 263 nematod (Anguillicoloides crassus) izole edilmiştir. Parazitolojik indeksler nispeten düşük bulunmuştur. Görülme sıklığı; %6,7 ve ortalama yoğunluk 5,05 olarak belirlenmiştir. A. crassus bolluğu da örneklenen tüm yılan balıklarında 0,33 olarak hesaplanmıştır. |
