Abstract

Kemikli balıklar, otolit kütle asimetrisinin fizyolojik rolünü değerlendirmede en uygun organizmalardır. Asimetri, balığın vestibular ve işitsel fonksiyonları üzerinde şiddetli etkilere sebep olan bir faktördür ancak bu konuyla ilgili sınırlı sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır. Türkiye sularındaki tatlı su türlerinin asimetrileri hakkında birkaç çalışma vardır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Barbus tauricus Kessler, 1877’un otolit kütle asimetrisini belirlemektir. Balık örnekleri Temmuz 2010-Ekim 2011 tarihleri arasında serpme ağlar kullanılarak aşağı Melet Irmağı’ndan yakalanmıştır. B. tauricus bireylerinin sağ ve sol otolitleri arasındaki fark, paired-t testine göre istatistiksel olarak önemli bulunmuştur (P<0,05). Ortalama x ve |x| değerleri 0,0685±0,0194 ve 0,2377±0,0135 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Balık boyu-x, balık boyu-|x| ve balık boyu-(MR-ML) arasındaki ilişkiler sırasıyla y=0,0011x+0,0434; y=0,0066x+0,1457 ve y=0,0000008x+0,00003 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Otolit kütle asimetrisi değeri, balıkların yaşadıkları ortamla ilişkili olarak ağır metaller, pestisit, tarım ilaçları gibi kirlilik etkenleri, stres oluşturan faktörler, suyun fiziko-kimyasal özelliklerinde meydana gelebilecek değişimler hakkında bilgi verebilir. Diğer tatlı su türlerinde yapılan çalışmalarla karşılaştırıldığında, ortalama otolit kütle asimetrisi değerinin daha yüksek olarak belirlenmesi, ırmağın B. tauricus bireyleri üzerindeki çevresel etkisini de ortaya çıkarmıştır.

Determination of Otolith Mass Asymmetry in Barbus tauricus Kessler, 1877 Inhabiting Lower Melet River (Ordu, Turkey)

Abstract

Teleost fishes are the most suitable organisms to assess the physiological role of otolithic mass asymmetry. The asymmetry is a factor which caused drastic effects on vestibular and auditory functions of fish. However, there are limited studies on this subject. There are few studies about the asymmetry of freshwater species in Turkish waters. The aim of this study is to determine otolith mass asymmetry of Barbus tauricus Kessler, 1877. Fish samples were caught from the Lower Melet River by using cast nets between July 2010 and October 2011. The difference between right and left otoliths of B. tauricus was statistically significant according to paired-t test result (P<0.05). The mean values of x and |x| were calculated as 0.0685±0.0194 and 0.2377±0.0135. The relationships between fish length and x, fish length and |x| and fish length and MR-ML determined as y=0.0011x+0.0434; y=0.0066x+0.1457, and y=0.0000008x+0.00003, respectively. The otolith mass asymmetry value can give information about pollution factors such as heavy metals, pesticides, stress factors, changes in the physico-chemical properties of water in relation to the environment in which fish habitat. Compared with other fresh water studies, the higher mean autolithic mass asymmetry value revealed the environmental impact of the river on B. tauricus individuals.
