The Zn, Cu, As, Cd, Hg and Pb levels of the popular species (Silurus triostegus, Acanthobrama marmid, Aspius vorax, Capoeta trutta, Carasobarbus luteus, Chalcalburnus mossulens and Cyprinus carpio) of Ataturk Dam Lake (Euphrates, Turkey) were studied to estimate the risk of human consumption and pollution of Euphrates River which is important for Turkey, Syria and Iraq. Trace metal amounts diff...

The concentrations of iron, lead, cadmium, copper, manganese, mercury and arsenic were measured in water, sediment, five macrophytes (Typha angustifolia, Iris pseudacorus, Polygonum amphybium, Myriophyllum spicatum and Lemna gibba) and five fish species (Sander lucioperca, Abramis brama, Carassius gibelio, Silurus glanis and Arystichtys nobilis) in the Gruža Reservoir, used for water supply and...

Bu çalışmada, farklı oranlarda (%4 ve %8) keten çiya tohumu ile zenginleştirilmiş yayın balığı (Silurus glanis) köftelerinin bazı kalite kriterlerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Balık köfteleri depolamanın belirli günlerinde (1, 7 14. gün) toplam aerobik mezofilik bakteri (TAMB), psikrotrofik bakteri, maya-küf, tiyobarbitürik asit (TBARS), uçucu bazik azotu (TVB-N), pH duyusal parametreleri yön...

This study was carried out between November 2013 and May 2015, to determine the fish fauna inhabited in Atatürk Dam lake. The specimens were obtained by different technical fishing gears. It determined that caught belonging 25 species (Capoeta trutta, Capoeta umbla, Cyprinon macrostomus, Arabibarbus grypus, Carasobarbus luteus, Carassius carassius, gibelio, Cyprinus carpio, Garra variabilis, Lu...

The effect of aqueous solution of citric acid (CA) on the lipid stability of the European catfish (Silurus glanis) fillets during frozen storage (up to 6 months) was investigated. Rancidity development was measured by several biochemical indices (free fatty acids, peroxides and TBA) and complemented by the measurement of expressible moisture and sensory evaluation (flesh odor, consistency and f...

The current study was undertaken in order to assess the risk that different ranaviruses might impose on European sheatfish aquaculture. As the European sheatfish virus (ESV) is a known pathogen causing losses in European sheatfish aquaculture, it was assumed that closely related exotic ranaviruses might also be able to infect European sheatfish and probably cause disease and mortality in this s...
