Review of Parasitic Copepods Recorded in Fish from Turkey

Abstract This review presents the occurrence of 62 parasitic copepod species from 72 different fish species (64 wild, two cultured, seven from aquarium) from Turkey. The parasite species list is arranged by providing parasite species name, host fish, location of host fish capture and author, date of published record. All parasites and their hosts are confirmed with the recent systematic accounts and full taxonomic account according to literature and internet database. Siphonostomatoida with 47 species and Caligidae with 12 species are the dominant order and family among parasitic copepoda with regard to species diversity, host distribution and location.

A checklist of the metazoon parasites of freshwater fish in Turkey has been compiled from parasitological studies done in Turkey between 1964 and 2003. The parasite species list is arranged by phylum and class, providing parasite species name and author, host fish, location of host fish capture and author and date of published record. The host list consists of all parasite species listed by host species. One hundred and thirteen parasite species are listed from 41 host species belonging to 26 genera.

AbstractThis new checklist is an update of helminths of freshwater fish from Turkey. The last publication of a checklist of helminth parasites of freshwater fish in Turkey was over 11 years ago (Öktener, 2003), and there have been a number of new records. This update includes additional records and allows for the correction of errors and omissions that were present in the preceding version. The revision literature indicated the occurrence of 123 parasite species which included 60 monogeneans, 20 digeneans, 20 cestodes, 11 nematodes, seven acanthocephalans, five annelids from 71 different wild fish (64 native, four transitional, three introduced fish) species from freshwater in Turkey. Parasites not identified to species level are listed separately, and not included in the resulting comments, because of reporting different host species. Cyprinidae, with 50 species, is the dominant family among the examined fish with regard to species diversity

We surveyed copepods parasitic on the fishes at Palmyra, a remote atoll in the Central Indo-Pacific faunal region. In total, we collected 849 individual fish, representing 44 species, from the intertidal lagoon flats at Palmyra and recovered 17 parasitic copepod species. The parasitic copepods were:OrbitacolaxwilliamsionMulloidichthysflavolineatus;AnuretesserratusonAcanthurusxanthopterus;CaligusconfususonCarangoidesferdau,Carangoidesorthogrammus,Caranxignobilis,Caranxmelampygus, andCaranxpapuensis;CaliguskapuhilionChaetodonaurigaandChaetodonlunula;CaliguslaticaudusonRhinecanthusaculeatus,Pseudobalistesflavimarginatus,M.flavolineatus,Upeneustaeniopterus,Chrysipteraglauca, andEpinephalusmerra;CaligusmutabilisonLutjanusfulvusandLutjanusmonostigma;CaligusrandallionC.ignobilis;Caligussp. onL.fulvus;CaritusserratusonChanoschanos;LepeophtheiruslewisionA.xanthopterus;LepeophtheirusuluusonC.ignobilis;DissonussimilisonArothronhispidus;Nemesissp. onCarcharhinusmelanopterus;HatschekialongiabdominalisonA.hispidus;HatschekiabicaudataonChaetodonaurigaandChaetodonlunula;KroyerialongicaudaonC.melanopterusandLernanthropussp. onKyphosuscinerascens.

Parasitic Helminths

Abstract An updated checklist carried out indicated the occurrence of 161 helminth species from wild marine fish species in Turkey, which includes 49 monogeneans, 63 digeneans, 18 cestodes, 17 nematodes, 11 acanthocephalans and three annelids, from 88 different fish (86 native, two migratory) species. Since the publication of the checklist of helminth parasites of marine fishes in Turkey over nine years ago (Öktener, 2005), there have been a number of new records. This update includes these additional records and has allowed the correction of those errors and omissions that were present in the previous version. The parasite species list is arranged by phylum and class, providing parasite species name, host fish, location of host fish capture and author, and date of published record. The host list consists of all parasite species listed by host species. All parasites and their hosts are confirmed with the recent systematic accounts and full taxonomic account.

Leuciscus Idus

The paper aims to identify the age-related dynamics patterns of distributing the parasitofauna of ide in the Lower Irtysh. The composition of the ide parasitic community is represented by sixteen species belonging to the classes Monogenea, Cestoda, Trematoda, Nematoda, Copepoda, where Trematoda class is remarkable for the highest species diversity (9 species). It has been stated that the composition of the ide parasite fauna is distributed nonuniformly within the age groups. The study noted the presence of parasite species invading ide of any age group; there were also parasitic organisms observed either in young ide representatives, or in older fish species, as well as there were found parasite species not belonging to any distribution system. According to the analysis results of the age dynamics of the average invasion intensity, it has been found that the representatives of O. felineus and R. campanula prevailed in the number of specimens in all age groups of ide. The dynamics of the invasion extensity conditionally corresponds to three groups: EI growing with the fish aging, EI with a decreasing dynamics, constant EI = 100% (represented by R. campanula). The parasitofauna of the Lower Irtysh ide is similar to the parasite fauna of ide species inhabiting other water bodies, and shows the peculiarities of occurrence both within a separate age group and in the dynamics of occurrence parameters with fish aging

Parasitic Copepoda

This species has received so few notices from collectors of parasitic Copepoda that it might be judged uncommon. Thus Krøyer (1837), originally placed it in the genus Lernaeopoda having but a single specimen at his disposal the host of which he had forgotten; subsequently it has been recorded by Olsson (1869), who was the first to place it correctly in the genus Brachiella. This species has also been recorded by P. J. van Beneden (1870), by T. Scott (1901), by A. Scott (1904), and collected by L. Harrison Matthews, as mentioned by me (1926), at Plymouth.
