DETERMINATION OF PARASITIC TRANSMISSIONS BETWEEN JAPANESE FISH (Carassius auratus, GOLDFISH) AND FROGS (Rana ridibunda, Rana viridis)

Abstract

This research conducted ectoparasite scans from frogs (Rana ridibunda, Rana viridis) caught from the same pool as Japanese fish (Carassius auratus) reared in Dr. Nazmi TEKELIOGLU Freshwater  Research Station of Cukurova University between April-July 2016 periods. Ectoparasite examinations were performed on a total of 120 fish and 60 frogs a monthly basis April, May and June. For protozoans in stationary preparation; formal acetic acid, Battin's fluid, Carry's fluid, Schaudinn fixative and glycerin were used. Klein's silver impregnation method was used to prepare trichodina preparates. Materials taken by scraping the gills and skin tissues of the fish and the skin tissues of the frog larvaes were examined, and metazoan and protozoan parasites were observed. All Parasites were photographed and identified to the genus level. In all of the study periods, parasites of the genera Dactylogyrus and Thricodina were detected in both fish and frog larvaes. These results indicate that ectoparasite transmission between goldfish and frog larvae was observed.
