Abstract:

 

Two different myxosporean fish parasites (Myxobolus episquamalis Egusa, Maeno & Sorimachi, 1990 and Myxobolus ichkeulensis Bahri & Marques, 1996) are reported based on samples found on the scales and gill arches of flathead mullet (Mugil cephalus) captured from Çamlık Lagoon, located on the northeastern Mediterranean coast of Turkey. Both parasites were found for the first time on flathead mullet from the Turkish coasts. In addition to the data concerning spore morphology and the dimensions of both species, new additional taxonomic observations are presented. Furthermore, asynchronous polar capsule maturation was observed in transmission electron microscope images of both species.

 

Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’nin kuzey doğu Akdeniz kıyısında bulunan Çamlık Lagünü’nden yakalanmış Has Kefal (Mugil cephalus Linneaeus, 1758)’lerin pul ve solungaç kemerinden örneklenen 2 farklı Myxosporean balık paraziti; Myxobolus episquamalis Egusa, Maeno & Sorimachi, 1990 ve Myxobolus ichkeulensis Bahri & Marques, 1996’in bildirimleri yapılmıştır. Parazitlerin ikisi de Türkiye sahillerindeki Has Kefal’lerde ilk kez bulunmuştur. Her 2 türün morfolojisi ve boyutlarına ilişkin verilerin yanı sıra belirlenen yeni taksonomik özelliklerde birlikte sunulmuştur. Ayrıca, her 2 türün geçirimli elektron mikroskop görüntülerinden asenkronize polar kapsül gelişimi gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. .
