In this study, the embryonic development of eggs in Mastacembelus mastacembelus (Bank & Solender, 1794) was examined. At same time, possibilities artificial breeding through insemination were investigated. Artificial achieved by mixing mature female and sperm male samples caught with gill nets (22 × 22) Ataturk Dam Lake Turkey. To end, first a Petri dish (100 20), testes cut into small pieces lancet mixture sperm–testes-tissue obtained. The fertilization rate found to be 80%. diameter ranged...

As a preliminary step towards assessing its aquaculture potential, egg development and artificial breeding in shabbout (Barbus grypus Heckel 1843) was studied. Artificial insemination achieved by mixing eggs sperm-testes extract. The fertilization rate 60%. Diameters of fertilized ranged 2.58-2.70 mm. perivitelline space formed 20 min after contained no oil droplets. A blastodisc split two blastomeres nearly equal size 80 first cleavage occurred 4-4.5 h insemination. gastrula stage completed...

In this study, the effects of supplemented inositol on sperm extenders were examined spermatozoa motility rate and duration, total antioxidant oxidant status, apoptotic DNA damage, during post-thaw process Mesopotamian Catfish (Silurus triostegus, H. 1843). The semen was frozen in diluents containing different concentrations (5, 10, 20 40 mg). Increasing levels linearly improved duration significantly (p < 0.05). MDA TOS decreased, however, TAS GSH increased increasing resulted a linear...

Male tortoises are occasionally presented with a prolapsed phallus (penis). The penis is retracted except during mating, trauma, or death; it lies in the ventral floor of cloaca. Euphrates soft-shelled turtle constituted study material. Clinically, necrotic areas were observed. After local anesthesia and analgesia, was inserted into base This case first prolapse male turtle.

The aim of this study was to determine the levels enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidants DNA damage in blood rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) exposed chlorpyrifos (CPF) protective effects curcumin (CUR) on CPFinduced oxidative stress damage.For purpose, 0.5% 1.0% CUR administered via intraperitoneal route for 45 days during exposure water containing 0.040 mg/L CPF trout.We observed a significant decrease total peroxide (TP), glutathione (GSH), GSH peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase...

Mesopotamian spiny eels, Mastacembelus mastacembelus (Banks & Solender, 1794), were collected from a large dam lake located on the Euphrates River in order to determine most reliable ageing method among different hard structures and estimate growth parameters. Vertebra, otolith, opercle series removed 195 individuals. Vertebrae displayed interpretable annulus formations. Total length ranged 14.4 cm 76.9 total weight 6.0 g 950.0 g. The frequency distribution was significantly between 2 sexes...

In this study, protective effects of Curcumin (CUR) against Chlorphyrifos (CPF)-induced oxidative stress on blood serum, liver and gill tissues rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were investigated.In the first group, normal water recommended diet used as control group.The second fish group was exposed to containing 0.040 mg/l CPF.The third received only 0.5% (CUR1) fourth 1% CUR (CUR2).The fifth CPF (CPF + CUR1).The sixth CPF, giving 0.1% CUR2).Samples taken from blood, total antioxidant...

This study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of three different osmotic pressure (325, 365, and 385 mOsm/kg) in combination with Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) NaCl or glucose on spermatozoa DNA damage, rate duration motility. Sperm collected from eight healthy mature Silurus triostegus, evaluated microscopically pooled at 25 °C. The sperm samples were diluted final concentration 1/3 (sperm/diluents) in  based extender  (10% cryoprotectant 10% egg yolk (EY) into 80% diluents) separated...

The aim of this study was to determine the main spermatological properties in Carasobarbus luteus (H., 1843) and Carassius carassius (L., 1758) Atatürk Dam Lake. Sperm collected by abdominal massage from thirty C. twenty carassius. Milt volume (ml), spermatozoa motility (%), duration (s), concentration (x109/ml) pH were 0.72±0.08 ml 1.03±0.20 ml, %57.67±3.67 % 81.00±1.43, 190.30±11.25 s 107.30±12.03 s, 13.15±1.33 10.53±1.28x109/ml, 8.13±0.11 7.60±0.04, respectively. motility, duration, found...

In this study reproductive biology of Liza abu (Pisces Mugilidae) from Atatürk Dam Lake in the Euphrates River Basin was observed.Some characteristics such as age, egg number, sexual determination, gonadosomatic index (GSI) (n=821) are taken into consideration.The relationship between total weight (W t ), and length (L ) fecundity (F) were investigated during period January 2004 to December 2005.The ages fish ranged 1 5. The ratio numbers samples with (89): female ( 413): sample (810)...

This study aimed to determine whether curcumin addition in freezing media affected the ability of trout semen resist cryodamage. Fish was collected and cryopreserved a curcumin-supplemented medium at 20 μM. Sperm motility parameters, nuclear factor 2 gene expressions (NRF-2 Keap-1) were assessed following thawing. Adding μM sperm extender increased rate duration motility, as well percentage live 277 mOsm with 1:3 dilution. However, quality decreased 135 365 1:2, 1:3, 1:4 dilutions. Following...
