Histological study on reproductive pattern and sex reversal of dusky grouper epinephelus guaza in natural environment of Antalya bay of Mediterranean in Turkey

Bu çalışmada Doğu Akdeniz'in Antalya Körfezindeki orfoz balıklarının Epinephelus guaza L.1758 cinsel olgunluklarına göre gonad değişimleri histo-anatomik olarak araştırılmıştır. Örnekler (n=104) doğal ortamlarında zıpkın ile aylık olarak yakalanmışlardır. Balıkların gonadları hemen kesilerek % 10'luk nötral formaldehit ve Bouin'in solüsyonlarında tespit edilmiştir. Birçok histo-kimyasal işlem aşamalarından geçirildikten sonra alınan dokular kesit alınmak üzere parafin içine gömülmüştür. 5 μm kalınlığında kesitleri alınan doku örnekleri Haematoxylin-eosin ve Mallory trichrome boyama tekniklerine göre boyanmışlardır. Yapılan incelemelerde balıkların gonad gelişimlerimlerinde: olgunlaşmamış gonad evresi, olgunlaşan dişi evreleri (F1 den F6 'ya kadar), dişilikten erkekliğe geçiş evreleri (T1 den T3'e kadar) ve olgun erkek evreleri (M1' den M3'e kadar) başlıca dört farklı evre gözlenmiştir. Yaygın olarak kullanılan yüzde gonado somatik indeks (% GSI) verilerinin araştırmada tespit edilmesine rağmen; relatif gonad indeks bulguları (% RGI) bu gibi hermafrodit balıkların üreme dönemlerinin saptanmalarında daha uygun olduğu görülmüştür. Buna göre Antalya körfezinde yaşayan orfoz balıklarının Epinephelus guaza L.1758 Haziran ve Eylül ayları arasında yumurtların bıraktıkları tespit edilmiştir.

Akdeniz'in Antalya Körfezindeki orfoz balıklarında, Epinephelus guaza (Türkiye) seks dönüşümü ve üreme özellikleri üzerine histolojik çalışma

In this study, gonadal changes of dusky grouper Epinephelus guaza L.1758 were investigated by histo-anatomically according to sexual maturity in Antalya Bay of Eastern Mediterranean in Turkey. The specimens (n=104) were captured monthly by spear-fishing from their natural sites. The gonads of them were dissected as soon as and fixed in 10 % neutral buffered formaldehyde and Bouin’s solution. They were embedded in paraffin blocks after several histo-chemical processes. Sectioned tissue samples at 5μm were stained by Haematoxylin-eosin and Mallory trichrome techniques. Mainly four different stages which were immature stage, mature female stages (from F1 to F6), transitional stages (from T1 to T3), and mature male stages (from M1 to M3) were observed according to gonadal development. However GSI (Gonadosomatik indeks) is the most common used to quantify spawning time in fish; the RGI (Relative gonadal index) was found more appropriate than GSI for the fish. Dusky groupers spawned in June and September in Antalya Bay
