An Investigation On Fish Fauna Of The River Mert (Samsun), Selma Uğurlu (Helli̇), Nazmi̇ Polat
Turkish Journal of Zoology
This study was carried out between May 1999 and June 2000 in order to determine the fish species of the River Mert. In total, 244 individuals from different sampling stations were caught by electric shock, scoop nets, fish nets and fishing lines.

Effects Of Antimicrobial Agents On The Survival And Development Of Larvae Of Pimpla Turionellae L. (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) Reared On An Artificial Diet, Kemal Büyükgüzel, Şevki̇ Yazgan
Effects Of Antimicrobial Agents On The Survival And Development Of Larvae Of Pimpla Turionellae L. (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) Reared On An Artificial Diet, Kemal Büyükgüzel, Şevki̇ Yazgan
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The effects of 13 antimicrobial agents that have different structures and modes of action, on the survival and development of the hymenopterous endoparasitoid, Pimpla turionellae L., were investigated by rearing the larvae aseptically on chemically defined synthetic diets. These effects varied according to their kind and dietary levels. The agents tested exerted their effects generally during the post-larval development of the insect. The post-larval survival and development were negatively affected by most of the agents tested at certain levels. The antimicrobial agents tested also affected the larval development but had no significant effects on the larval survival of the insect. …
Degradation Products Of Adenine Nucleotide In Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus Mykiss) Stored In Ice And In Modified Atmosphere Packaging, Yeşi̇m Özoğul, Fati̇h Özoğul
Degradation Products Of Adenine Nucleotide In Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus Mykiss) Stored In Ice And In Modified Atmosphere Packaging, Yeşi̇m Özoğul, Fati̇h Özoğul
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The breakdown products of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) were separated using a rapid HPLC method. The K-value, Ki-value and H-value were also determined as a means of evaluating the quality of rainbow trout held in ice and modified atmosphere packaging comparing with sensory and microbiological analysis in terms of fresh fish quality. Results from the present research indicated that modified atmosphere did not extend the shelf life of trout but inhibited microbial growth compared to ice storage. However, there was no significant difference (P>0.05) between the two conditions. K and Ki-values provided a useful freshness index of fish for both …
Effect Of Temperature Change On Maximum Swimming Speed Of Whiting, Merlangius Merlangus (Linnaeus, 1758), Hüseyi̇n Özbi̇lgi̇n
Effect Of Temperature Change On Maximum Swimming Speed Of Whiting, Merlangius Merlangus (Linnaeus, 1758), Hüseyi̇n Özbi̇lgi̇n
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Seasonal changes in sea temperature levels affect the swimming performance of fish. This study investigates if a change of 5°C from 7 to 12°C in water temperature has a significant effect on the maximum swimming performance of whiting, Merlangius merlangus, which is one of the most common species caught in the bottom trawl fisheries of the North Sea. The effect of this seasonal change on swimming performance was shown by two experiments. A temperature increase from 7°C to 12°C was shown to cause a decrease in the minimum twitch contraction time of the lateral muscle, when stimulated by an electric …

Androgenesis: The Best Tool For Manipulation Of Fish Genomes, Minal P. Bhise, Tariq A. Khan
Androgenesis: The Best Tool For Manipulation Of Fish Genomes, Minal P. Bhise, Tariq A. Khan
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Androgenesis involves the development of an organism with only paternal chromosomes. The induction of androgenesis using diploid sperm, highly effective UV-irradiation of egg, dispermy using heterologous eggs, the possibility of producing supermales for all male production and the recovery of cryopreserved sperm are recent technological developments in androgenesis in fish. However, few researchers have successfully produced viable diploid androgens in fish. The authors made an attempt to induce androgenesis in the common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) and the results are discussed along with the potential applications of androgenesis in conserving fish genomes and current knowledge on inducing androgenesis in fish.

The karyotype of Oedipoda schochi schochi with 2n O = 25 (X0) comprises eight pairs of metacentric, two pairs of submetacentric, one pair of acrocentric and one pair of subacrocentric autosomes, which come from 2n O = 23 through centric fission and the metacentric X chromosome, while Acrotylus insbricus with 2n O = 23 (X0) possesses metacentric autosomes, and the metacentric X chromosome.
Community Structure Of Macrobenthos Of A Southeast Texas Sand-Pit Lake Related To Water Temperature, Ph And Dissolved Oxygen Concentration, Kemal Çeli̇k
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Water temperature (°C), pH, dissolved oxygen concentration (mg/l) and the community structure of the macrobenthos of a small southeast Texas sand-pit (Barry's) lake were studied from June 1995 to February 1996, which covered climatic extremes. The lake was a warm monomictic lake and no anoxic conditions were observed at any depth during the entire study period. A total of 50 taxa and 5614 individuals of macrobenthos were collected. The dominant organisms were Chaoborus punctipennis (Say), Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri (Claparede), and Dero obtusa (Udekem).

The Toxic Effects Of Malathion (Organophosphate Insecticide) On The Daphnia Magna Straus, 1820 (Crustacea, Cladocera), Maryam Rassoulzadegan, Nusret Akyurtlakli
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The toxic effects of technical grade (95 %) malathion and commercial (25 %) malathion were investigated on young (£ 24 h old) Daphnia magna in static acute toxicity tests (24 and 48 h). The culture of D. magna and toxicity tests were performed at 24 ± 1 ºC with a photoperiod of 16 h light and 8 h dark. To obtain a healthy population, the fecundity of each female in their life cycle was also investigated. The immobilization of daphnids was considered for determination of the 24 h / 48 h effective concentration (50 %). The EC50 values were found …
Impact Of Two Sublethal Concentrations Of Copper Chloride And Chlorine On The Excretory Products Of Crab Sesarma Quadratum (Fabricius), Santhana Valarmathi, Jayapaul Azariah
Impact Of Two Sublethal Concentrations Of Copper Chloride And Chlorine On The Excretory Products Of Crab Sesarma Quadratum (Fabricius), Santhana Valarmathi, Jayapaul Azariah
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Excretion in estuarine animals is considered to be an important factor in assessing their physiological status. The pattern of oxygen consumption and excretion patterns (ammonia and nitrite) in medium size mud crabs of S. quadratum (3 to 4 g weight) were studied under laboratory conditions at two sublethal concentrations of 1/10 and 1/3 of the LC_{50} value of copper chloride and chlorine. The rates of oxygen consumption and excreted products were negatively correlated to the sublethal concentrations of the toxicant. Reduced rates of oxygen consumption and excretion of ammonia and nitrite were observed when exposed to these sublethal concentrations.

It constituted 0.25% of the total ciliate population and had a 12.5% frequency of appearance. The size and percentage occurrence of this species in the present study are compared to those previously reported for other animal hosts living in different geographical locations. This study reports for the first time in Turkey the presence of Metadinium banksi in arctic ruminants.

Age Determination Of Shad (Alosa Pontica Eichwald,1838) Inhabiting The Black Sea, Savaş Yilmaz, Nazmi̇ Polat
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The most reliable bony structure and method were investigated for age determination of shad (Alosa pontica Eichwald, 1838) inhabiting the Black Sea. Therefore, five bony structures such as scale, vertebra, otolith, opercle and subopercle were removed from 240 individuals collected from April 1998 to April 1999. Each bony structure was prepared for age determination by different techniques, and examined by binocular microscope. Mean ages were estimated for each bony structure-reader combination and the precision of age estimated from multiple readings was evaluated. Furthermore, the error of ageing was calculated. Vertebra was the most reliable bony structure for ageing this species …
