Title Of Article :
Karyotype Analysis in Orthrias Tigris (HECKEL, 1843), Living in the Kura-Aras River Basin
Abstract :
In this study, chromosome numbers and the standard karyotypic details for the Blackbrow bleak, Orthrias tigris (Heckel, 1843) (Fam: Balitoridae) from Kura-Aras river basin were ascertained. The fish used in this study were caught with fishing nets from the Kura-Aras river basin and taken to the laboratory. Fish were injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with doses of 0.01 ml/g body weight of 0.6 % solution of colchicine and left for 190 minutes before sacrification. It was determined that Orthrias tigris had 2n=50 chromosomes by metaphase investigation. Their karyotypes were determined as being composed of 18 metacentric, 18 submetacentric and 14 acrocentric chromosome pairs with NF: 86 We were unable to identify any sex-related chromosomes in these species.
