ASSESSMENT OF Diplostomum spathaceum AND Neoechinorhynchus rutili INFESTATIONS IN Capoeta trutta FROM KARAKAYA AND KEBAN DAM LAKES

Sibel DOĞAN 1 , Mustafa DÖRÜCÜ2

This study was conducted to determine the parasite species present in Capoeta trutta individuals obtained from the Karakaya and Keban Dam Lakes in March 2024, to assess infection levels, and to examine the relationship between parasitism and fish length–weight parameters. A total of 80 fish were examined, with 40 specimens collected from each reservoir. All examined fish were found to be infected, and two parasite species, Diplostomum spathaceum and Neoechinorhynchus rutili, were identified. The total number of parasites was recorded as 1.815 in the Karakaya Dam Lake and 1.445 in the Keban Dam Lake. D. spathaceum was the dominant species, exhibiting 100% prevalence in both regions. The mean intensity of N. rutili was calculated as 114.33 in Karakaya and 88.85 in Keban. Correlation analyses revealed positive relationships between parasite abundance and both fish weight and length in the two dam lakes, with these associations being more pronounced in the Keban Dam Lake.
