Different Parasitic Phyla of Fish from Turkey excluding

Helminths and Crustacea

Authors: Ali ALAŞ, Ahmet ÖKTENER

Abstract

This review is done to update the species list of the parasitic phyla: Ciliophora, Myxozoa,

Myzozoa, Euglenozoa, Metamonada, Microsporidia and Choanozoa reported from freshwater and

marine fishes from Turkey. Information from all available references (journal publications, reports

of research projects, thesis, proceedings of congress, symposium proceedings) on different parasitic

phyla except of helminths and crustacea reported from fishes of Turkey from 1931 to 2014 were

gathered to provide parasite-host lists. This update includes additional records and allows for the

correction of synonymies and valid names of species that were present in the preceding versions.

The list was compiled with the parasite species arranged by phylum, class and alphabetical, as

appropriate. A review of the literature indicated the occurrence of 49 parasite species which

included 21 Ciliophora, 16 Myxozoa, 5 Myzozoa, 3 Euglenozoa, 1 Metamonada,1 Microsporidia

and 2 Choanozoa species.

Keywords: Turkey, fish, parasite, Ciliophora, Myxozoa

1. Introduction

A checklist of parasitic helminths of freshwater fish included 99 species (73 named and 26

unnamed), while 114 species (95 named and 19 unnamed) were reported from marine fish of Turkey

[1, 2]. But these articles include incorrect spellings of parasite names, host names and species author’s

names, and incorrect attributions of dates of species authorship. This status is derived from some

Turkish scientist’s articles not given in spite of our contact, difficulties to reach to some old studies

made by foreign scientists (for example Tareen [39]

), lack of use of online control database [3, 6]

.

Checklists of parasitic helminths of freshwater fish from Turkey were revised and updated according

to online database, and other literature [7]

. The last status of parasitic helminths of freshwater fish

from Turkey revealed increased species number, especially in the phylum Plathyhelminthes.

Increased host diversity was also determined. Host diversity examined reached from 41 to 71 species

in freshwater habitats [7]

. Protozoon and other minor parasites of fish reported from Turkey were

compiled [8]

.This publication needs to be revised according to changes in classification and new

species records. Finally, it is also aimed to gather parasite records with hosts from aquarium and

farm conditions, marine and freshwater habitats of Turkey. Here we presented the list of fish

parasites from Turkey excluding parasitic helminths and crustacea.

2.Material and Method Information from all available references (journal

publications, reports of research projects, thesis,

proceedings of congress, symposium proceedings) on fish

parasites in Turkey, excluding parasitic helminths and

crustaceans from 1931 to 2014 were gathered to provide

host-parasite and parasite-host lists.

In the literature dealing with the other fish parasites in

Turkey, many incorrect spellings of parasite names, host

names and species author’s names, as well as incorrect

attributions of dates of species authorship appear. The

classification (validity scientific names, synonyms,

spellings) of parasite and host were checked with main

electronic sites [3-6]

.and updated literature [9]

.

3.Results and Discussion

Presented checklist of fish parasites from Turkey includes

Ciliophora, Myxozoa, Myzozoa, Euglenozoa, Metamonada,

Microsporidia, Choanozoa and it was compiled with the

parasite species arranged by phylum, class and alphabetical,

as appropriate. The host-parasite list / parasite-host list are

arranged as follow: a list of collected parasite groups and

their parasitized fish, the collection site and reference

(Table 1).

A review of the literature indicated the occurence of 40

genera within 7 phyla of fish parasites from Turkey (Table

1). Overall 49 members of 25 different genera within these

phyla were determined to the species level: 21 Ciliophora,

16 Myxozoa, 5 Myzozoa, 3 Euglenozoa, 1 Metamonada, 1

Microsporidia and 2 Choanozoa species (Table 1). Parasites

not identified to the species level are listed separately, and

not included to comments of result, because of reporting

different host species.

Ciliophora with 21 named species, Trichodina with 12

named species were the dominant phylum and genus among

these groups regarding species and host diversity, as well as

host distribution.

Members of Ciliophora, Myxozoa, Myzozoa, Euglenozoa,

Metamonada, Microsporidia, Choanozoa were reported

from 40 native (12 marine fish, 28 freshwater fish), 28

aquarium fish and 6 cultured fish in Turkey. Cyprinidae

with 19 species was the dominant family among the

examined fish with regard to the species diversity.

Thirty seven different fish host species were infested with

Trichodina sp; 27 with Ichthyophthirius multifilis Fouquet,

1876; 18 with Chilodonella cyprini (Moroff, 1902) and 14

with Ichthyobodo necator (Henneguy, 1883) Pinto, 1928.

Protozoon and other minor parasites of fish from Turkey

were compiled by Öktener et al. [8]

. Ever since that time the

number of fish parasite species from Turkey increased

seriously (Table 2).
