Özet
Objective Myxosporean parasites are worldwide-distributed cnidarians that infect the organs and tissues of marine and freshwater organisms, primarily fish. Based on morphological peculiarities, two myxosporean species, Myxidium gadi and Ceratomyxa merlangi, from the gallbladder content of Whiting Merlangius merlangus inhabiting four sampling localities (Kocaeli, Sinop, Ordu, and Trabzon) along the Black Sea coast of Türkiye have been identified. Methods Concordant with the morphological data, the first phylogenetic analyses on the nucleotide sequences of 18S ribosomal DNA confirmed our Myxidium specimens to be M. gadi. This study also provided the first molecular data on C. merlangi, which appeared to be the closest species to C. cretensis and C. arcuata on the phylogenetic trees. The infection prevalence (%) and density values of each parasite species were …
