A study on the morphology of Argulus foliaceus Lin., 1758 (Crustacea; Branchiura) procured from Çavuşcu lake (Central Anatolia-Turkey) with scanning electron microscopy

Abstract

In this study, 24 carps (Cyprinus carpio Lin.,1758) caught from Çavuşçu Lake (Konya; 36°41'N, 34°26'E) were examined for metazoan parasites. Infestation rate of Argulus foliaceus Lin., 1758 was found to be 45.8%. In addition, Argulus foliaceus was photographed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and a light microscope. © TÜBİTAK.
