The dam was completed in 1990 for irrigation and hydroelectric purposes. It is one of the largest man-made dams in Turkey. The lake occupies an area of approximately 817 km 2, thus the lake is the biggest artificial reservoir in Turkey. For its large size and ecological properties, it has high importance of fisheries and fishing potential. There are 28 species and subspecies belonged to 8 families in Euphrates River and its man made lakes in Turkey, Syria and Iraq (Kuru, 1979). Capoeta turutta belonging to family Cyprinideae has a wide distribution in both Euphrates, Tigris basins, natural and artificial lakes in Mesopotamia for thousands of years (Ünlü, 1991; Polat, 1987; Özdemir & Kabukcu 1983). There are no resent gonad development and histological studies on C. trutta reproduction. Whereas its growth and some reproductive properties are well documented (Ünlü, 1991; Yapalak et al. 1997; Kalkan, 2008; Özdemir & Kabukçu, 1983; Gül et al, 1996). Most researches on fish were dealing with the histological studies (Takashima,1995; Shimuzu et al., 1987; Ünver and Unver-Saraydin, 2004), spermatocyte maturation (Grier, 1975), oocyte growth and development (Takashima et a.l, 1986, Wallace & Salman 1981, Begovac & Wallace, 1988) and specialized aspects of formation of primary oocyte (Lagler, 1977; Hughes, 1992), cortical alveoli formation and vitellogenesiz and oocyte maturation (Fishelson et al. 1996). The present study aimed to assess the impact of Atatürk Dam Lake on the gonad development, histological and reproductive biology of C. trutta, included the sex ratio, age and length at first sexual maturity, gonadosomatic index, fecundity and the histological evaluation of the gonads. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 214 male and 208 female of C. trutta were captured from September 2001 to August 2002 from Atatürk Dam Lake under the aid of fisherman who are fishing in the reservoir using gill nets with different mesh size (18x18, 25x25, 32x32, 40x40, and 55x55mm). After capturing, fresh fish were brought to the laboratory, each fish was recorded; data included the measurements for fork length (FL) to the nearest mm and total weight (W) to the nearest 0, 1 g. First males differ from females morphologically by the presence of breeding tubercles formed on the head during the spawning period. Scales were removed from each fish and cleaned in a 5% sodium hydroxide solution for age analyses according to Chugunova (1959). The sex of immature samples was determined by the gonads under the aid of binocular microscope. The number of eggs was estimated by the gravimetric method using ovaries which had been preserved in 4% formalin solution (Laevastu, 1965) in

3 4 S. AHMET OYMAK-DAVUT MUSA-ERHAN ÜNLÜ order to enumerate the total number of eggs in the particular ovary (absolute fecundity). From each ovary, twenty ova were selected randomly and measured by means of a micrometer eye-piece, and then the mean egg diameter was computed for all of the samples. The monthly gonadosomatic index (GSI) was calculated as follows (Pantulu,1963); GSI: Gonad Weight(g)/Body Weight(g)x100. Fecundity - body weight (W), and fecundity - gonad weight (GW) relationships were calculated on the basis of the formula suggested by Pantulu (1963); Log F= log a + b Log W, Log F=Loga + b Log GW. The specimens were transported to the laboratory alive; the gonads were removed from each fish, fixed for 24 hours in Bouin's fixative in room temperature. Gonads samples were loaded the cassettes, placed into automatic processor (LeicaR), dehydrated in ascending grades of ethanol, cleared in two changes of xylene and impregnated in molten wax. The specimens were removed from the processor and impregnated into paraffin with 58 C melting point; the sections were obtained with rotary microtome. A single series of sequential histological sections 6 micrometer thick for ovary and 4 micrometer for testis was cut and stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin. Sections were examined under light microscope. Oocytes diameter were measured in oocyte cross sections on histological slides by microscope graticule (Luna, 1968). Evaluation of the Stages of Female gonad The process of oogenesis was classified according to size, appearance of nucleus, nucleolus and cytoplasm distribution in the ovary. Female ovaries are located in the dorsal of the body cavity, showed thread-like surrounded by single layer germinal epithelium like a thick connective tissue which called tunica albugenea. The mature ovaries of females were large occupying 1-2/3 of body cavity and well supported with blood vessels. Ripe female had swollen green ovaries appeared flaccid. RESULTS As seen in Table 1, 49.29% of the samples were female and 50.71% male. The sex ratio was not significantly different from 1:1 (P>0.05) in the samples observed. This ratio showed the male rate relatively higher than females in autumn 53.09 % and 46.91%, in winter the ratio was 54.12% in male and 45.88% in female respectively, while this value changed in summer to be in the ratio of female higher percentage to be 51.91% in spring and 50.40% in summer while the percentage of the male decreased to be 48.09% in spring and 49.60% in summer (Table 1).

In July, all the ovaries were empty and only a few remaining eggs were observed.

5 6 S. AHMET OYMAK-DAVUT MUSA-ERHAN ÜNLÜ 10 -, 9 - The percentage of mature C. trutta at age II was 12.5 %, while 95% of the fish were reaches the maturity at age III and 5% not mature. On the other hand, 28.6% of male C. trutta reaches the maturity at age II, while 71.4% of fish were immature, but this percentage increase to 100% at age III (Table 3). The sexual maturity of males and females was reached at age III, when they reached a fork length of about 199 ± 11.15 mm. Table 3. The age of maturity of females and males of C. trutta. Tablo 3.

Perinucleotic form contains oocyte in a 12-130 micrometer and the nucleus was about 50% of the oocyte diameter. Nucleolus divides to two or more nucleoli and resides in the periphery of nucleoplazm and intense basophilic cytoplasm. In previtellogenic stage, the nucleus occupies about 2/3 of the cell and contains numerous nucleoli arranged under the nuclear membrane. In addition, balbiani bodies appear in the ooplasm. Oocyte is surrounded with single layer of follicle cells (Fig. 3-a). Figure 2. Monthly variation of Ovary weight (a) and Egg diameter (b) of C. trutta. Şekil 2. C. trutta'da ovaryum ağırlığı ve yumurta sayısının aylık değişimi. Vitellogenic stage III Oocyte in this stage measured 320 ± 28 micrometer and 730 ± 41 micrometer containing yolk granules and large vacuoles. The nucleus was about 13-15 % of the total oocyte diameter. The major event in this stage is the appearance zona radiata in the periphery of the oocyte. The nuclear membrane takes irregular structure and the nucleoli number increased. At this stage, accumulation of hepatically derived yolk protein called vitellogenin that responsible for majority of oocyte growth. The follicle consisted of two layers, an outer and inner layer glandular granulose (Fig. 3-b). Maturation stage IV

7 8 S. AHMET OYMAK-DAVUT MUSA-ERHAN ÜNLÜ At this stage, oocyte reaches its maximal size between 800 ± 28 and 1600 ± 61.2 micrometer. The ovary was packed with vitellogenic and the massive accumulation of yolk protein occupies the central portion of the oocyte. The nucleus disappeared due to the condense yolk accumulation (Fig. 3-c, d). Ovulation and Post ovulation stage V - VI After the germinal vesicle break down the oocyte ovulated into the ovarian lumen and becomes mature eggs.

This is with the result reported by Nikolsky (1963), indicated the different sexual separation of the same species was to found 1:1. Özdemir and Kabukçu (1988) reported that the sex percent of C. trutta living in Keban Dam Lake was 52% for female and 48% for male, Ünlü (1991) reported that the percentage of female/male of C. trutta living in Tigris river was 58.74 and 41.26. Polat (1987) reported 64.69% for female and 36.11% for male from Keban Dam Lake, Kalkan (2008) found that female/male ratio was 0.98:1 while Gül et al. (1996) found that the percentage of C. trutta living in Euphrates River 53.3 female and 46.7 male. Age composition of the C. trutta in present study was determined II-IX. The age composition was determined by several papers; Yapalak et al. (1997) I-VI, Ünlü (1991) I X, Polat (1987) I-VIII, Gül et al. (1996) I-X and Kalkan (2008) 0-VII. The differences among the age distribution values may be related to the kind of nets or mesh-size of the nets or may be explained as an adaptive response to the different ecological conditions of the study areas. According to the average GSI, the highest values were observed for female 8.653 and for male 5.534 in the samples caught in May. The lowest values were observed for female 0.886 in August and for male 0.76 in September. There are decreasing in mean GSI values of June samples because almost all individuals were spawned. The mean GSI values were found a gradual increased from October until the new spawning season. The highest GSI value was determined by Kalkan (2008) form Karakaya Dam Lake, for females to be 7.91 in May, the lowest value 0.29 in September. These values were determined by Ünlü (1991) from Tigris River, 12.03 in May, 1.45 in August for female and 6.00 in May, 1.05 in August for male. The highest mean egg diameter was found in May (1.69 mm) and lowest value was found in August (0,42 mm). The highest and the lowest diameter of eggs were determined by Ünlü (1991) to be 0.55-1.38 mm, Polat (1987) was found to be 0.43-1.03 mm, Gül et al. (1996) reported the higher and lower diameter of oocyte was 0.46-1.04 mm and Kalkan (2008) found to be 0.37-1.04 mm. In this study, the mean egg number varied between 6871 to 33252. This values was determined by Ünlü (1991) 4713-18240 and Yapalak et al. (1997) 4136-24152. It has been reported that fecundity can change in relation to fish age, length and weight and especially temperature which is the most important ecological factor effecting the egg number. As we know, the older individuals are more productive than the younger. According to the monthly changes in the values of the GSI, egg diameter and egg number of the specimens in Atatürk Dam Lake, the spawning period was determined to be May and June. This period has been determined to be by Kalkan (2008) between March and July, Gül et al. (1996) May-July, Özdemir & Kabukçu (1983) May-September, Polat (1987) April-June and Unlu (1991) May-June. Because the ecological and climatical conditions are different, the starting and finishing time of the reproduction period may include different months. The sexual maturity of male and female III age groups when they reached a fork length about 199 ± 11.15 mm respectively. According to Kalkan (2008) the sexual maturity age in C. trutta population of Karakaya Dam Lake is II-III. The maturity age of the specimens was found to be II-III in both sexes by Ünlü (1991) from Tigris River.

A H M E T O Y M A K - D A V U T M U S A - E R H A N ÜNLÜ T o evaluate the reproductive study of C. trutta living in A t a t u r k D a m Lake including in the m e a s u r e m e n t of oocyte size, staging at the external a p p e a r a n c e of the ovary. Histological examination and g o n a d indices to determine the stages of g o n a d development. However, the histological examination is expensive a n d time c o n s u m i n g, but it is the m o s t accurate m e t h o d e m p l o y e d to study the g o n a d development (Ünal et al., 1999; W e s t, 1990). Generally, the process of teleost oogenesis m a y be divided to 5 8 stages (West, 1990; Fishelson et al. 1996; Ünver and Ü n v e r - S a r a y d i n, 2004). Grier H. J., (1975). Aspects of germinal cyst and sperm d e v e l o p m e n t in Poecilia (Teleostei : Poecilidae) J. Morph. 146: 229-237. T h e histological studies of g o n a d development of C. trutta are basically the s a m e in all teleost species. T h e process of o o g e n e s i s has b e e n divided into six stages. T h e size of oocytes at the early stages increase due mainly to accumulation of non yolk cytoplasm and the major growth of oocyte at the later stages is mainly due to accumulation of the hepatic derived materials, as protein, vitellogenin yolk materials (Hibiya, 1982; W e s t, 1990). T h e oocyte reaches m a x i m u m size 1.76 m m in C. trutta living in Atatürk Dam Lake, this is directly found that the nutritional state of the fish affects the vitellogenic and maturation of oocyte because there is a close relationship b e t w e e n the vitellogenesis and oocyte size (Wallace & S a l m a n 1978). T h e ecological factors, as temperature, photoperiod and nutrition are important environmental factors for regulations of reproductive pattern in most teleost (De Vlaming 1972), and the high temperature suppressed gonadal activity in Cyprinid fish ( O k u z a w a et al. 1989). Hoar W. S. & Randall D. J., (1969). Reproduction pigments and poisons. Fish physiology. Academic T h e nucleus m e m b r a n e fused and the migration of the nucleus started in the mature oocyte, (ripe phase), then the m a t u r e d oocyte w a s released into the ovary lumen. In the present study, all stages w e r e identified in a similar manner. Because of the size of oocyte, the nucleus diameter and the number of nucleolus m a y vary b e t w e e n species, and also they are closely related w i t h the ecological factors that affect populations (Fishelson et al. 1996). T h e rational m a n a g e m e n t of a fishery necessitates some understanding of the d y n a m i c s of the population, this study covers essential basic criteria w h i c h are well understood for other Cyprinidae species. Therefore this paper provides the first systematic observations o n population structure of C. trutta living in Atatürk D a m Lake, age and length for the species and the first on reproductive status. In conclusion, the economical importance of C. trutta in fishing in Euphrates, Tigris and m a n m a d e reservoirs m u s t be coordinated by government to prevent the realer fisheries. T h e prohibition of fishing during April- August period c a n be advised, and the prohibition include using small nets to capture under 22 c m m u s t fix low to forbid capturing.
