TI  - Seasonal Infection of Metazoan Parasites on Mosul Bleak (Alburnus mossulensis) Inhabiting Murat River and Its Tributaries in Eastern Anatolia, Turkey
AB  - This study was conducted to determine the frequency of metazoan parasitic infections of Mosul bleak(Alburnus mossulensis) in Murat River in Eastern Anatolia, Turkey. A total of 182 host fish were investigated, fromJanuary 2015 to March 2016. There were 972 metazoan parasites recorded in collected samples. Six species ofMonogenea (Dactylogyrus holciki, Dactylogyrus lenkorani, Dactylogyrus alatus, Dactylogyrus vistulae,Gyrodactylus sp., and Paradiplozoon homoion), one species of Digenea (Diplostomum spathaceum), two speciesof Cestoda (Caryophyllaeus laticeps, Ligula intestinalis), one species of Nematoda (Rhabdochona denudata), onespecies of Hirudinea (Piscicola geometra), and one species of Copepoda (Eergasilus sp.) observed respectively.According to their prevalence from high to low ranks; Eergasilus sp. (34.6%), D. spathaceum (33%), P. homoion(19.8%), D. holciki (12.1%), C. laticeps (7.1%) D. alatus (6.6%), D. lenkorani (4.9%), R. denudata (4.9%),Gyrodactylus sp. (3.8%), P. geometra (1.6%), D. vistulae (1.1%) and L. intestinalis (0.5%) were calculated. Amongthese parasites D. lenkorani, D. vistulae, P. homoion, C. laticeps and R. denudata are the first record on Mosulbleak and D. holciki is the first record for Turkey freshwater fish parasites.
