Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate in detail the morphological features of the digenean parasite isolated from the European anchovy using light and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Methods: The specimens of were obtained from the pharynx and stomach of the European caught by commercial fishing vessels in the Black Sea. Parasites were killed in a hot normal saline solution, preserved in to 70% ethanol for light microscopic (LM) studies, and in 2.

Article Synopsis
  • Understanding the genetic diversity and structure of the invasive species Tritia neritea in its native area is essential for predicting its population evolution in introduced regions.
  • The study utilized mitochondrial COI gene analysis and microsatellite markers to determine past demographic changes and current genetic organization, revealing significant population expansions and geographic clustering post-glacial maximum.
  • Results indicate a strong genetic structure influenced by natural processes and human transport, contrasting with the patterns observed in introduced areas, which may lead to different evolutionary outcomes for the species.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate and compare metazoan parasite faunas of three gobiid fishes, Neogobius fluviatilis, Proterorhinus marmoratus, and Pomatoschistus marmoratus, inhabiting the Lower Kızılırmak Delta.

Methods: Fish specimens were caught using fishing nets and electroshock device. The fishes were transferred to the laboratory and examined under a dissecting microscope for metazoan parasites using conventional methods.
