Özet
Nine marine fish species were studied for the presence of myxozoan parasites: Pontic shad Alosa immaculata, Mediterranean sand smelt Atherina hepsetus, knout goby Mesogobius batrachocephalus, round goby Neogobius melanostomus, black goby Gobius niger, shore rockling Gaidropsarus mediterraneus, thornback ray Raja clavata, grey wrasse Symphodus cinereus and European anchovy Engraulis encrasicolus. Fish were collected from Sinop coasts of the Black Sea. Gills, fins, skin, urinary bladder, kidney, gall bladder, liver, intestine, smooth muscles and gonads of each fish species were examined for myxosporean parasites. Ten myxosporean species, most of them identified at the species level, were found. They were Ortholinea orientalis from Pontic shad and European anchovy, Fabespora nana and Sphaeromyxa sevastopoli from knout goby, Sphaeromyxa sevastopoli and Zschokkella iskovi from shore rockling, Chloromyxum partistriatus from thornback ray, Myxobolus sp. 1 and Ortholinea divergens from grey wrasse, Ortholinea sp. from black goby. Ceratomyxa sp. from Mediterranean sand smelt and Myxobolus sp. 2 from round goby. Infection prevalence and intensity values as well as morphometric data for each parasite species are provided. While Ortholinea orientalis was found in new hosts for the Black Sea, Sphaeromyxa sevastopoli, Ortholinea divergens and Fabespora nana were found in new host for Turkish coast of the Black Sea. Furthermore. Zschokkella iskovi and Chloromyrum partistriatus are new records for the Turkish Black Sea parasite fauna.
