Abstract

Chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus Houttuyn, 1782) were obtained from the commercial fishermen in Çanakkale, Turkey, in July, 2017. We examined a total of 40 fish (20 non-infested and 20 infested) and assessed the biometric indices, haematological parameters and serum biochemical variables. The hepatosomatic index and gonadosomatic index of infested chub mackerel fish were lower than those of non-infested fish. Blood haematocrit ratio and haemoglobin concentration in naturally parasite-infested chub mackerel fish were significantly lower than those in non-infested fish. However, white blood cell counts of the parasite-infested chub mackerel fish were higher than those of healthy ones. Serum total protein, globulin, glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride, urea, chlorine and iron levels in naturally parasite-infested chub mackerel fish were significantly lower than those in non-infested fish. Moreover, serum lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase and alanine aminotransferase activities of the parasite-infested chub mackerel fish were higher than those in healthy ones. Therefore, observed variations in haematological parameters, serum biochemical variables and biometric indices influenced by the parasite, A. pegreffii, may potentially increase sensitivity of the chub mackerel, Scomber japonicus, to diseases and environmental conditions.

Çanakkale Boğazı'ndan Yakalanan Kolyoz’un (Scomber japonicus Houttuyn, 1782) Biyokimyasal ve Hematolojik Karakteristikleri Üzerine Anisakis pegreffii (Nematoda: Anisakidae)’nin Etkisi

Abstract

Kolyoz (Scomber japonicus Houttuyn, 1782) Temmuz 2017'de Çanakkale, Türkiye'deki ticari balıkçılardan elde edildi. Toplam 40 balığın (20 parazitsiz, 20 parazitli) biyometrik indeksleri, hematolojik parametreleri ve serum biyokimyasal değişkenleri incelendi. Parazitli kolyoz balıklarının hepatosomatik indeksi ve gonadosomatik indeksi, parazitsiz balıklardan daha düşüktü. Doğal olarak parazitle istila edilmiş kolyoz balıklarında kan hematokrit oranı ve hemoglobin konsantrasyonu, parazitsiz balıklardan önemli ölçüde daha düşüktü. Bununla birlikte, parazitli kolyoz balıklarının beyaz kan hücresi sayıları sağlıklı olanlardan daha yüksekti. Doğal olarak parazitli kolyoz balıklarında serum total protein, globulin, glikoz, kolesterol, trigliserit, üre, klor ve demir seviyeleri, parazitsiz balıklardan önemli ölçüde daha düşüktü. Ayrıca, parazitli kolyoz balıklarının serum laktat dehidrojenaz, aspartat aminotransferaz, alkalin fosfataz ve alanin aminotransferaz aktiviteleri sağlıklı olanlardan daha yüksekti. Bu bulgular ışığında, parazitin kolyoz, Scomber japonicus’un hematolojik parametreler, serum biyokimyasal değişkenler ve biyometrik indeksler de meydana getirdiği değişimlerin balığı farklı hastalıklara ve/veya çevresel koşullara karşı daha duyarlı hale getirebileceği söylenebilir.
