    (Scipress Ltd, 2018) Sahin, Dilek; Oz, Meryem; Sertasi, Eda; Oz, Unal; Karsli, Zafer; Aral, Orhan
    In this study, it was aimed to determine the effects of zeolite and bentonite on the ammonium adsorption at different temperatures. In this research three trial groups with 3 repetitions were created for three different water temperatures (18 +/- 0.1 degrees C, 24 +/- 0.0 degrees C, 27 +/- 0.0 degrees C). Experimental groups were prepared by adding NH4+ amount of 10.5 mg/l in 2 liters of water. After that, zeolite, zeolite+bentonite and bentonite were added into the bottles as 10 gram per liter. Water temperature, pH and TAN (Total Ammonium Nitrogen) values were determined during the trial period. At the end of trial TAN values at 27 degrees C were recorded as 10.103 +/- 0.11 mg/l, 9.227 +/- 0.13 mg/l and 7.933 +/- 0.17 mg/l in zeolite, zeolite+bentonite and bentonite groups, respectively. At the end of trial TAN values at 24 degrees C were recorded as 10.027 +/- 0.17 mg/l, 9.282 +/- 0.15 mg/l and 8.336 +/- 0.15 mg/l in zeolite, zeolite+bentonite and bentonite groups, respectively. At the end of trial TAN values at 18 degrees C were recorded as 9.012 +/- 0.28 mg/l, 7.702 +/- 0.14 mg/l and 6.594 +/- 0.14 mg/l in zeolite, zeolite+bentonite and bentonite groups, respectively. Maximum ammonium removal capacity, q(e), was found to be 0.50 mg/g in the bentonite (18 degrees C). The TAN values determined at 18 degrees C were statistically more significant (p<0.05) than the TAN values obtained at 24 degrees C and 27 degrees C.

    (Israeli Journal Of Aquaculture-Bamidgeh, 2016) Didinen, Behire Isil; Onuk, Ertan Emek; Ozturk, Turkay; Metin, Secil; Oz, Meryem; Cayli, Ozge; Kubilay, Aysegul
    In this study, we isolated Chryseobacterium sp. from koi in Turkey. The disease outbreak occurred in fish weighing 10-300g (water temperature 9-10 degrees C) in November 2011-February 2012. The cumulative mortality rate was approximately 55% over 4 months. Infected koi exhibited anorexia, weakness, emaciation, damage to dorsal and caudal fins, grey-white skin discoloration (1-1.5cm) in the head area, large open wounds in skin with disease progression, necropsy findings, paleness of the liver, enlarged spleen and kidney, acidic fluid in the body cavity. Samples for bacteriological examinations were collected from the kidney, liver, and spleen using sterile swabs; these samples were streaked onto Anacker ordal Agar and incubated at 18 degrees C for 48 h. Five bacterial isolates were obtained from diseased fish. Phenotypic characteristics of the isolates were determined by conventional methods and rapid identification kits, API 20NE, and API ZYM. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis demonstrated that isolate Sin57 belonged to the genus Chryseobacterium, with highest sequence similarity (98.5%) to C. aahli T68(T) and C. limigenitum SUR2.

    (Zoological Soc Pakistan, 2022) Sahin, Dilek; Oz, Meryem; Aral, Orhan; Bahtiyar, Mehmet; Tasci, Selda
    This study aimed to investigate the effects of the purslane extract on growth and pigmentation of goldfish (Carassius auratus L, 1758). The study was carried out with 4 experimental groups of which composed of control (0%, T0) and different amount of purslane plant extracts (3%, T3; 6%, T6; 9%, T9) and each group had 3 replicates. The fish with an average live weight of 2.55 +/- 0.08 g were selected randomly from a fish stock of 250 fish and were 13 fish were placed in each aquarium (15 L). The growth, survival and coloring parameters were determined at the end of 60th day of the study. The best growth parameters were recorded in the T9 group. The best weight gain, specific growth rate and feed conversation ratio values occurred at 0.815 g, 0.462 % and 0.86, respectively were observed in the group fed with 9% of purslane extract. The survival rate parameters indicated no death in any experimental group of goldfish fry. The purslane extract had a positive effect on coloring, and the highest pigmentation for goldfish was obtained in T6 and T9 (Hue (Habo) angle values (86.73 +/- 0.32 and 77.64 +/- 0.47, respectively). The results revealed that purslane extract had a positive effect on the growth and coloring parameters of goldfish. The results recorded in this study can be used database in aquaculture for future studies carried out in aquaculture.

    Strategy to remove ammonium compounds released from fish feed in aquaculture using natural filtration materials
    (Springer, 2024) Oz, Meryem
    The effects of addition of adsorbent mixture at two different stages in aquaculture system were investigated for the first time in this study. In the first stage, in order to determine the effects of natural adsorbents in an environment without feed, a trial consisting of four treatment groups with three replications was conducted. In this trial, individual and combined effects of two natural adsorbents on water parameters in absence of feed were assessed for five days. In the second stage for 9 experimental days, a total of 18 aquaria consisting of three treatment groups with three replications for two different fish feeds were used. Of these aquaria, the first six received only two types of feeds containing 33 and 40% protein, designated as two control groups (C1 and C2). Other two groups (T1 and T2) were prepared by adding a leonardite: zeolite mixture (at 2:1 ratio) to next six replicates simultaneously. The last six replicates received a leonardite: zeolite mixture (at 2:1 ratio) after the 8th day of the study, and formed the last two treatment groups (T3 and T4). In this study, mean pH values varied between 7.01 and 7.82 and ammonia values were found to be maximum of 94.96% and minimum of 38.73% lower compared to the control group when 3 g adsorbent mixture (2L: 1Z) was used to balance pH and ammonium (NH4+) values in an aquatic environment containing 0.5 l freshwater and 0.5 g fish feed with 33-40% protein contents. It was demonstrated that the combined use of zeolite and leonardite had positive effects on ammonium removal and providing optimum pH levels for aquaculture. The combined use of these two adsorbents helped balance the pH-reducing effect of leonardite with zeolite, and the pH-reducing effect of leonardite contributed to the NH4+ adsorption efficiency of zeolite.

    The Assessment of Natural Biomineral Leonardite on Growth and Pigmentation of Goldfish, Carassius auratus
    (Mdpi, 2025) Sahin, Dilek; Oz, Meryem; Oz, Unal
    In this study, the impact of leonardite as a feed additive in goldfish diets was examined, focusing on its potential to positively influence feed and water parameters, which are critical for achieving sustainable ornamental fish farming. In this study, goldfish were fed diets containing four different levels of leonardite (0%, 2%, 6%, 10%). The experiment was conducted in 12 tanks with 3 replicates per treatment and lasted for 3 months. The fish, which were provided from the Research, Production and Training Institute, with an average live weight of 0.947 +/- 0.03 g and an average length of 1.12 +/- 0.02 cm, were used. After 90 days, it was observed that the specific growth rates increased in correlation with the amount of leonardite in the diet, with a statistically significant difference identified (p < 0.05). In this study, which investigated the coloration of fish with leonardite added to the feed for the first time, it was determined that the color of the fish approached from yellow to orange as the amount of leonardite added to the feed increased (p < 0.05). Given the positive effects observed on pigmentation and growth in this study, it is recommended that further detailed investigations be conducted on leonardite, a natural, harmless, and cost-effective additive, using different fish species.

    The Effects of Different Carotenoid Sources on Skin Pigmentation of Goldfish (Carassius auratus)
    (Israeli Journal Of Aquaculture-Bamidgeh, 2011) Yesilayer, Nihat; Aral, Orhan; Karsli, Zafer; Oz, Meryem; Karacuha, Ali; Yagci, Feraye
    The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different carotenoid sources on goldfish (Carassius auratus) skin pigmentation. The value of goldfish depends on the intensity of the skin color. In the red variety of goldfish, an orange-red hue is desirable. Juvenile goldfish were fed one of five diets for five months to determine the effects of carotenoids on skin pigmentation, growth, feed efficiency, and survival: (1) astaxanthin (carophyll pink at 75 mg/kg), (2) canthaxanthin (carophyll red at 75 mg/kg), (3) Gammarus spp. (75 mg/kg), (4) Oleoresin paprika (180 mg/kg), and (5) an unsupplemented control. Growth and feed efficiency did not significantly differ among groups. Initial and final samples of head skin were measured by colorimetric analysis for lightness (L*), redness (a*), yellowness (b*), hue (H-ab(o)), and chroma (C-ab*). The best red color (a* and H-ab(o)) was obtained with the astaxanthin, canthaxanthin, and paprika diets.

    Use of purslane (Portulaca sp.) extract as a potential feed additive on growth parameter and skin pigmentation for blue streak hap, Labidochromis caeruleus (Fryer, 1956)
    (Wiley, 2022) Sahin, Dilek; Oz, Meryem; Aral, Orhan; Bahtiyar, Mehmet; Tasci, Selda
    Purslane (Portulaca sp.) is a widely available succulent which could be used as an additive in fish feed owing to its nutritious nature and rich pigment content. In the present study, the effects of inclusion of purslane extract in fish feed was investigated on growth and pigmentation of blue streak hap (Labidochromis caeruleus Fryer, 1956). Fish were fed on diets containing 0 (control/T0), 3 (T3), 6 (T6) and 9 g kg(-1) (T9) of purslane extract for 60 days. Positive results in terms of weight gain (0.51 g), specific growth rate (1.23%.day(-1)) and survival rate (83.33%) were observed in the group fed with 9 g kg(-1) of purslane extract for 60 days. Furthermore, it was determined that the purslane extract had positive effects on pigmentation of blue streak hap, a prominent ornamental fish. The best coloration was achieved in blue streak hap of group T6, whose Hue (H-ab degrees) angle values varied between 83.61 +/- 1.15 and 78.10 +/- 1.35. This study is the first to include purslane extract into blue streak hap diets for its effect on growth and pigmentation. Findings from this study clearly demonstrate that using purslane extracts in diet has a positive effect on growth (T9), survival rate (T6, T9) and pigmentation (T6) of blue streak hap.
