First record of Schulmanela petruschewskii Shulman, 1948 (Nematoda: Capillariidae) from cultured Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in Turkey
Özet
The nematode Schulmanela petruschewskii (Shulman, 1948) was identified during the parasitological examination on the liver parenchyma in one specimens of a cultured rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) which reared in Derbent Dam Lake in Samsun, Turkey (41A degrees 25'6'aEuro (TM) North latitude, 35A degrees 49'52'aEuro (TM) East longitude) in August 2008. This parasite species was not previously reported from Turkey. With the present study we report S. petruschewskii for the first time in Turkey. This specimen which is a parasite of cultured rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is a new record for the Turkish parasite fauna. Original measurements and figures are presented.
