Gaziantep ili sınırları içerisinde, Fırat ve Asi nehir havzası ile bağlantısı bulunan tatlı sulardan elde edilen balık örneklerinin sistematik açıdan incelenmesi sonucunda 9 familyaya ait 36 tür tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen tür sayısı dikkate alındığında Gaziantep ilinin tatlı su balık faunası bakımından zengin olduğu iddia edilebilir. Bu zenginliğin il sınırları içerisindeki akarsuların iki farklı su havzasının (Fırat ve Asi havzaları) etkisi altında olmasından kaynaklandığı iddia edilebilir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Gaziantep, tatlı su balıkları, Fırat Havzası, Asi Havzası Freshwater Fish Fauna of the Rivers Flow to Euphrates or Orontes Rivers in Gaziantep Abstract This study was carried out from January to December 2008 in order to determine the freshwater fish fauna of Gaziantep. A total of 36 fish species were determined belonging to 9 families in Gaziantep water bodies linked with Euphrates and Orontis rivers basins. As a result, it can be claim Gaziantep has a rich species diversity for the freshwater fish fauna. Reason of rich species diversity can be explain by Gaziantep freshwater affected by both Orontis and Euphraticus river basin.

Belli bir il/bölge veya coğrafyadaki Tatlı sular biyolojik ve ekolojik yönden büyük öneme balıkların dağılımı ile ilgili çalışmalar ise oldukça sahip olan doğal kaynaklardır. Bu doğal kaynaklardaki sınırlıdır [8,28-30]. biyolojik çeşitliliğin korunması ve devamlılığının Kuru [31], Türkiye İç Su Balıklarının Son Sistematik sağlanması açısından bu ortamlarda yaşayan canlı Durumu adlı çalışmasında, bugüne kadar Türkiye türlerinin tespit edilmesi büyük önem taşımaktadır [1]. iç sularında 26 familyaya ait 236 tür ve alt türün Batılı ülkelerde bu yöndeki çalışmaların geçmişi çok yaşadığını bildirmektedir.

Bu durumun böyle devam etmesinin 32’ kuzey enlem dereceleri arasında yer almakta olup; en büyük sebebi, sahip olduğumuz su kaynakları ile ilin büyük bir kısmında yarı kurak Akdeniz iklimi ilgili detaylı ve tarama şeklinde çalışmaların yetersizliği hakimken, Islahiye ve Nurdağı ilçelerinde ise az yağışlı gösterilebilir.

Since the work of J.J.

Here we take the opportunity to provide a new and updated checklist of freshwater fishes of Iran based on literature and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history and new fish collections. This article lists 288 species in 107 genera, 28 families, 22 orders and 3 classes reported from different Iranian basins. However, presence of 23 reported species in Iranian waters needs confirmation by specimens.

In 7 Ogbese town, and its environs, it constitutes a means of income and food for fisherfolks and 8 community members. Hence, this study was undertaken to assess health status of Chrysichthys 9 nigrodigitatus using heamatology and histological assessment of the fish specie due to the 10 anthropogenic activities that takes place around the river body. A total 120 live fish samples of 11 Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus were collected by the assistance of fisherfolks using fish cage at 12 Ogbese River from May to August, 2018. Some water parameters measurements were taken: 13 temperature, pH, DO, Turbidity and Conductivity. Morphometric measurement: Weight (g) and 14 length (cm) of fish were taken. Heamatoloty and histology of fish gills, liver and intestine were 15 determined. Mean water temperature (27.70±0.18oC), pH (7.36±0.22), DO (6.98±0.15 mg/l), 16 Turbidity (78.50±13.53 NTU) and Conductivity (148.35±27.98) of the river determined 17 respectively. Mean body weight of fish was 148.15 ± 36.53 g, and mean length was 25.64 ± 2.86 18 cm. The of the fish specie were examined to assess the architecture of the organs. result of 19 haematology studies of C. nigrodigitatus revealed high values in the parameters measured.

Email: [email protected] General Mixed Yule- Coalescent (GMYC) and Poisson Tree Process (PTP) as well as haplotype network analyses. Using the BEAST program, we also examined temporal divergence patterns of Capoeta. The monophyly of the genus and the existence of three previously described main clades (Mesopotamian, Anatolian- Iranian, and Aralo- Caspian) were confirmed. However, the phylogeny proposed novel taxonomic findings within Capoeta. Results of GMYC, bPTP, and phylogenetic analyses were similar and suggested that species diversity in Iran is currently underestimated. At least four can- didate species, Capoeta sp4, Capoeta sp5, Capoeta sp6, and Capoeta sp7, are awaiting description. Capoeta capoeta comprises a species complex with distinct genetic line- ages. The divergence times of the three main Capoeta clades are estimated to have occurred around 15.6–12.4 Mya, consistent with a Mio- Pleistocene origin of the di- versity of Capoeta in Iran. The changes in Caspian Sea levels associated with climate fluctuations and geomorphological events such as the uplift of the Zagros and Alborz Mountains may account for the complex speciation patterns in Capoeta in Iran.

Corresponding author: *E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The genus Capoeta in Iran is highly diversified with 14 species and is one of the most important freshwater fauna components of the country. Central Iran is a region with high number of endemism in other freshwater fish species, though the present species was recognized as C. aculeata (Valenciennes, 1844), widely distributed within Kavir and Namak basins. However previous phylogenetic and phylogeographic studies found that populations of Nam River, a tributary of the Hableh River in central Iran are different from the other species. In this study, the mentioned population is described as a new species based on morphologic and genetic characters. Keywords: Inland freshwater of Iran, Nam River, Algae-scraping cyprinid, Capoeta.

  • Checklists of Parasites of Fishes of Salah Al-Din Province, Iraq
    Vol. 2 (2): 180-218, 2018 Checklists of Parasites of Fishes of Salah Al-Din Province, Iraq Furhan T. Mhaisen1*, Kefah N. Abdul-Ameer2 & Zeyad K. Hamdan3 1Tegnervägen 6B, 641 36 Katrineholm, Sweden 2Department of Biology, College of Education for Pure Science, University of Baghdad, Iraq 3Department of Biology, College of Education for Pure Science, University of Tikrit, Iraq *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: Literature reviews of reports concerning the parasitic fauna of fishes of Salah Al-Din province, Iraq till the end of 2017 showed that a total of 115 parasite species are so far known from 25 valid fish species investigated for parasitic infections. The parasitic fauna included two myzozoans, one choanozoan, seven ciliophorans, 24 myxozoans, eight trematodes, 34 monogeneans, 12 cestodes, 11 nematodes, five acanthocephalans, two annelids and nine crustaceans. The infection with some trematodes and nematodes occurred with larval stages, while the remaining infections were either with trophozoites or adult parasites. Among the inspected fishes, Cyprinion macrostomum was infected with the highest number of parasite species (29 parasite species), followed by Carasobarbus luteus (26 species) and Arabibarbus grypus (22 species) while six fish species (Alburnus caeruleus, A. sellal, Barbus lacerta, Cyprinion kais, Hemigrammocapoeta elegans and Mastacembelus mastacembelus) were infected with only one parasite species each. The myxozoan Myxobolus oviformis was the commonest parasite species as it was reported from 10 fish species, followed by both the myxozoan M. pfeifferi and the trematode Ascocotyle coleostoma which were reported from eight fish host species each and then by both the cestode Schyzocotyle acheilognathi and the nematode Contracaecum sp.
