Abstract

Abstract In this study, skeletal anomalies such as vertebral centra deformation, lordosis (ventral curvature), and consecutive repetition of lordosis and kyphosis were examined in specimens of Barbus xanthos (Güçlü, Kalaycı, Küçük & Turan, 2020) collected from the Dalaman River, southwestern Turkey. Abnormalities of the vertebral column were observed in both thoracic and caudal vertebrae. Cases of lordosis and consecutive repetition of lordosis and kyphosis showed varying degrees of severity. Specimens with consecutive repetition of lordosis showed the most acute deformities among the cases studied, as they revealed complicated incidences of skeletal anomalies. None of the cases were fatal as they occurred in adult individuals. This study discusses the possible causes of such deformities and the usefulness of this type of study in environmental monitoring.

土耳其西南部达拉曼河中采集的黄刺鱼(钩骨鱼科)的骨骼畸形

摘要在这项研究中，在从土耳其西南部达拉曼河采集的Barbus xanthos标本（Güçlü，Kalaycı，Küç。在胸椎和尾椎都观察到了脊柱的异常。前凸和连续重复前凸和后凸的病例表现出不同程度的严重性。在所研究的病例中，连续重复前凸的标本显示出最严重的畸形，因为它们显示出复杂的骨骼异常发生率。这些病例都不是致命的，因为它们发生在成年个体中。这项研究讨论了这种畸形的可能原因以及这类研究在环境监测中的有用性。
