Histological Investigation Of Gonad Development Of Chalcalburnus Tarichi (P., 1811), Güler Ünal, Osman Çeti̇nkaya, Mahmut Elp Jan 1999

Histological Investigation Of Gonad Development Of Chalcalburnus Tarichi (P., 1811), Güler Ünal, Osman Çeti̇nkaya, Mahmut Elp

Turkish Journal of Zoology

In this study, gonad development of Chalcalburnus tarichi, an anadromus, endemic fish species of the Lake Van and its inlets was histologically investigated. During oogenesis, six different development phases were histologically identified: chromatin-nucleolus, perinuclear, cortical alveolar, vitellogenic, ripening and ovulation phases. The diameters of oocytes were determined between 31 to 957 µm until the ovulation phase. According to the investigated sepcimens, vitellogenic phase started onward October and first ovulation was taken place in May-June 36 months and older females. It was found that some unspawned ova remained and formed atretic follicles in ovary after ovulation. Three different development phases were …


A Study On The Activities Of Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase And 6-Phosphogluconate Dehydrogenase Enzymes In Some Spalax Populations, H. Ramazan Yilmaz, Eşref Yüksel Jan 1999

A Study On The Activities Of Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase And 6-Phosphogluconate Dehydrogenase Enzymes In Some Spalax Populations, H. Ramazan Yilmaz, Eşref Yüksel

Turkish Journal of Zoology

The purpose in planing this investigation was to contribute to the speciation problems in genus Spalax. For this, we examined the activities of Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) and 6-Phosphogluconate Dehydrogenase (6-PGD) enzymes from the liver of Spalax samples taken from both sides of river Euphrates. The samples belonging to genus Spalax were separated into two populationsin the research area. The spesific activities of G-6-PD and 6-PGD enzymes were measured at 0.01 level of significance. The results were given in a table. The observed differences between the mean specific activities of te enzymes of the two populatons were discussed.
