The aim of this study was to determine the selectivity of monofilament gillnets with different mesh size for silver crucian carp in Eğirdir Lake. In this study, it was investigated that the selectivity of monofilament gillnets with nominal mesh size (stretched) with 32, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 mm and trammel nets with 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150 mm for catching of silver crucian carp.

Aeromonas veronii is a kind of opportunistic pathogen to fish and humans, significantly impending aquaculture production. Recently, we isolated two A. veronii strains, named GYC1 and GYC2, from diseased Gibel carp (Carassius gibelio) in China. Based on gyrB (DNA gyrase B subunit) genes of GYC1 and GYC2, the constructed phylogenetic tree showed that the two strains were clustered with A. veronii...

Six commonly freshwater ornamental fish, namely Poecilia rediculata (guppy); Poecilia sphenops (black molly); Cichlosoma sp. (Cichlidae); Xiphophorus maculatus (platy); Carassius auratus (goldfish) and Symphisodon discus (discus) were examined for parasites during a four years study (19982002) in Turkey. The parasites species found included: Ichthyobodo sp., Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, Chilod...

This study aimed to disclose the spatial variability in lagenar otolith (asteriscus) dimensions-total length relationships generated for four Prussian carp, Carassius gibelio (Bloch, 1782) populations (Altınkaya Dam Lake, Bafra Fish Lakes, Lake Ladik and Simenit) Samsun Province, Türkiye. Relationship between weight of fish was also described each population. Samples were obtained from commerci...
