Occurrence And Effects Of Diplostomum Sp. Infection In Eyes Of Acanthobrama Marmid In Keban Dam Lake, Elazığ, Turkey, Mustafa Dörücü, N. Di̇lsi̇z, M. C. James Grabbe Jan 2002

Occurrence And Effects Of Diplostomum Sp. Infection In Eyes Of Acanthobrama Marmid In Keban Dam Lake, Elazığ, Turkey, Mustafa Dörücü, N. Di̇lsi̇z, M. C. James Grabbe

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Infection with the parasite Diplostomum sp. can lead to severe ocular pathology and may result in host mortalities in commercial fish farming. Here we show that such infection is rife in a major lake used for fishing in Turkey. In a study of Acanthobrama marmid fish in Keban Dam Lake, Elazığ, Turkey, we found the infection period was normally between May and September each year, and that the prevalence and abundance of eye lens parasites reached a maximum in September. Typical results of metacercariae occurrence in the fish eye included exophthalmia, local haemorrhage and lens cataract. There was a significant …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

As grass carp culture for vegetation control in freshwater is a new field in Turkey the disease problems of grass carp have not been well documented. Spontaneous disease occurrence in the course of grass carp culture was reported in the present study. During the culture of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) some disease problems occurred causing a high level of mortality. In two-month old fry (5.55±0.19 g) fed with alfa-alfa in out-door conditions bacterial disease and some ectoparasites on the gills and skin were detected. The bacterium was identified as Aeromonas hydrophila and the ectoparasites as Trichodina sp., Dactylogyrus sp. and …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Larvae of Aelurostrongylus abstrusus were identified in the feces of a 2-year-old female cat suffering from dyspnea and incoordination for 18 months. The larvae had a terminal S-shaped projection and a subterminal dorsal spine. The larvae measured 363-378x15 µm (aver. 370x15 µm). Firstly, moxidectin (0.4 mg/kg) was given subcutaneously to 3 healthy stray cats over 1 year old to check adverse effects on cats. No adverse reaction was observed. Then a subcutaneous injection of moxidectin (0.4 mg/kg) was given to the infected cat for treatment on day 0 and this was repeated on day 51. Seventy-nine days after the 2nd …

Mono And Multiphasic Analysis Of Growth Curves Selected Of A Japanese Quail Line At 5-Week's Body Weight, Handan Çamdevi̇ren, Bahar Taşdelen Jan 2002

Mono And Multiphasic Analysis Of Growth Curves Selected Of A Japanese Quail Line At 5-Week's Body Weight, Handan Çamdevi̇ren, Bahar Taşdelen

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

In this research, monophasic, diphasic and triphasic logistic growth curve functions used to introduce the growing of the body weight in Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) are presented. In male and female Japanese quail, the diphasic growth curve fits better than the other growth curves because of residual variance, autocorrelation and determination coefficients. In addition, the diphasic growth function is compared with the monophasic growth function to study the relationship between these two approaches for describing growth curves.

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

In this study, the population variability in chromosome numbers of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) cultured in 10 farms in the Northeast Black Sea Region of Turkey is examined. From the analysis of 468 anterior kidney tissue cells from 118 specimens, 7 distinct diploid numbers, namely 2n=58, 2n=59, 2n=60, 2n=61, 2n=62, 2n=63 and 2n=64, were found. The most frequent karyotypes with proportions of 25.2% and 24.8% were 2n=60 and 2n=62 respectively. Extensive Robertsonian polymorphisms were determined.
