Abstract

Bu çalışmada Menzelet Baraj
Gölü’ndeki (Türkiye) yayın balıklarının besin değişimleri ve av seçicilikleri
çalışılmıştır. Yayın balığının beslenme diyeti 6 balık türü, 1 yengeç (Potamon sp.) ve 1 sülük (Hirudo sp.)’ten oluşmuştur. Besin
kompozisyonunu ağırlıklı olarak Alburnus
kotsychyi
, Capoeta angorae, Capoeta erhani, Luciobarbus pectoralis ve Silurus
glanis
‘i içeren balıklar oluşturmuş ve en önemli besinsel av ise A. kotsychyi olmuştur. Yayın
balıklarının besin kompozisyonu kış ve sonbaharda sadece balıklardan oluşurken,
bahar ve yaz döneminde diyette çok küçük bir oranda yengeç ve sülük bulunmuştur.
Bu nedenle, bahar ve yaz döneminde besleneme kış ve sonbahara göre daha
heterojendir. X2 ve G istatistik değerlerine göre av
çeşitleri mevsimsel olarak değişiklik göstermiş (P<0,05) ve bu varyasyonun kaynağı özellikle kış sezonundan ve C. angorae’dan kaynaklanmıştır. Av boyu
avcı boyuna göre değişmemiştir. Besin seçicilik indeksine (V) göre, yayın balıkları besinsel seçicilik göstermemişlerdir. En
çok tercih edilen besinsel av A.
kotsychyi’
dür ancak bu avın da seçicilik indeksi istatistiki açıdan önemsiz
bulunmuştur (V=-0,112, X2=2,509 ve P>0,05).

Diet Shift and Prey Selection of the Native European Catfish, Silurus glanis, in a Turkish Reservoir

Year 2017, Volume: 3 Issue: 1, 15 - 23, 24.04.2017

Abstract

Diet and prey selection of
European catfish were studied in Menzelet Reservoir in Turkey. Diet of European
catfish composed of 6 prey fish species, 1 crab (Potamon sp.) and 1
leech (Hirudo sp.). Diet composition was dominated by fish, including Alburnus
kotsychyi
, Capoeta angorae, Capoeta erhani, Luciobarbus
pectoralis
, Silurus glanis and the most important prey item was A.
kotsychyi
. The diet of European catfish was constituted solely by fish in
winter and autumn while crab and leech contributed to a small part of the diet
in spring and summer. Therefore, feeding was more heterogeneous in spring and
summer than winter and autumn. The values of X2 and G
statistics indicated a significant difference (P<0.05) in the
seasonal proportions of prey types consumed and main source of variation comes
from C. angorae in winter. Prey size did not change according to the
predator size. According to the prey selection indices (V), European
catfish did not show prey selectivity. A. kotsychyi was the most
preferred prey, but its selection index was not statistically significant (
V=-0.112, X2=2.509 and P>0.05).
