TI  - Parasite Fauna of Fish in Büyükçekmece Dam Lake
AB  - Büyükçekmece Dam Lake, located in the Marmara Region, is the third largest water resource of the six mainreservoirs of Istanbul. It is used as a safe drinking water source. In this study, the parasitic fauna of thefreshwater fish species in Büyükçekmece Dam Lake was investigated during the period of September 2012-May 2013. Gill nets were used for the collection of fish specimens from the lake. The fish specimens weretransported to the laboratory in fiberglass tanks and they were kept alive until parasitological examination.During the dissection, the body cavity, all internal organs, the gills, the eyes, the skin, and the fins wereexamined. A total of 273 fish specimens belonging to nine fish species were examined and 11 parasite specieswere found in infested individuals. Ancylodiscoides vistulensis, Tetraonchus monenteron, Paradiplozoonhomoion, Caryophyllaeus laticeps, Bothriocephalus acheilognathi, Raphidascaris acus and Eustrongylidesexcisus were identified to the species level. Trichodina spp., Dactylogyrus spp., Ergasilus spp. and Glochidialarvae were identified the genus level in infested individuals. Monogenea was determined as the mostcommon parasite group. Eustrongylides excisus was also observed as the most prevalent parasite in asdifferent fish species.
