Trace elements (Al, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) in Mytilus galloprovincialis and Tapes decussatus from Faro and Ganzirri Lakes (Sicily, Italy): Flow cytometry applied for hemocytes analysis
(Elsevier GmbH, 2021) Parrino, Vincenzo; Costa, Gregorio; Giannetto, Alessia; De Marco, Giuseppe; Cammilleri, Gaetano; Acar, Ümit
Background: Trace elements present in sessile molluscs, are important because they are used in human consumption and it has significantly increased in recent years. While their filtering of the water can lead to their build-up of organic and inorganic materials that can be sampled and analyzed, this can also lead to bioaccumulation of harmful substances, such as essential and non-essential elements, that can harm the human health if in taken in high concentrations or for a long period of time. Methods: In the present study, the trace metal content (Al, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) of two sessile crustaceans, 20 Mytilus galloprovincialis (mussel) and 20 Tapes decussatus (clam) in Faro and Ganzirri Lakes (Messina, Sicily, Italy) were analyzed. Haemolymph samples were taken on both molluscs in order to analyze the haemocyte population by flow cytometric analysis. Unpaired t-tests were used to determine significant differences for the essential and non-essential metallic elements concentrations in the lake waters and in the tissues of M. galloprovincialis and T. decussatus and for hemocyte populations R1 (halinocytes) and R2 (granulocytes). Results: The results suggested that that in Faro Lake, the tissue Al, Cr and Pb levels in M. galloprovincialis were higher than those for T. decussatus, in contrast to Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn and Cd, which were higher in T. decussatus. Unpaired t-tests showed that there were significantly higher proportions of halinocytes in M. galloprovincialis versus T. decussatus for both Faro Lake (41.8 % vs. 24.3 %; P < 0.001) and Ganzirri Lake (43.0 % vs. 22.4 %; P < 0.001). In contrast, while there were significantly higher proportions of granulocytes in Faro Lake (21.2 % vs. 9.1 %; P < 0.001), this difference was not seen for the granulocytes of M. galloprovincialis versus T. decussatus in Ganzirri Lake (9.6 % vs. 13.0 %). Conclusion: This study shows that M. galloprovincialis and T. decussatus can indeed bioaccumulate some of these metal, such that activation of the immune responses is specific to certain cell types. Future research must focus on the balance of trace elements in the consumption of these shellfish, and analyzes with more sophisticated tools can be used to diagnose the increased concentration of trace elements and the quantification of trace metals from shellfish to clams.
Effects of dietary Ferula elaeochytris root powder concentrations on haematology, serum biochemical parameters, spermatozoa parameters, and oxidative status in tissues of males goldfish (Carassius auratus)
(Elsevier B.V., 2021) İnanan, Burak Evren; Acar, Ümit; İnanan, Tülden
This study evaluates the effects of Ferula elaeochytris, a traditional medicinal herb, root powder (FRP) concentrations (0, 0.5‰, 1‰, 0.5% and 1%) on serum biochemical parameters, hematological profiles, oxidative stress conditions in liver, muscle, gonad, testicular and stripped spermatozoa, and also spermatozoa parameters of adult male goldfish (Carassius auratus). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that the effects of FRP on these parameters as being associated with its essential oil contents have been determined. Some important bioactive compounds such as such as 14-β-H-Pregna, α-curcumene, limonene have been determined in FRP. Following a 60-day feeding trial, blood samples were taken and then females were introduced to tanks together with changing photoperiod and water temperature for 10 days to promote spermiation. Results showed that RBC, haemoglobin, and haematocrit levels increased in 1‰ of FRP fed fish compared control group (P < 0.05). Also serum total protein and albumin levels in this group slightly increased (P > 0.05). However, blood parameters were negatively affected in 1% of FRP. Spermatozoa parameters dramatically decreased, even spermiation success could not be achieved in some fish in fish fed with 1% of FRP. Also, 1% of FRP in diet induced oxidative stress conditions in the tissues of this group. These conditions in gonad had a different pattern than those in liver in muscle. The results revealed that dietary 1‰ of FRP could be an advantageous additive while FRP at levels of >0.5% in diet was useless for or has deleterious effects on fish health and reproduction. Based on these results, we conclude that a supplement suitable concentration and analysis of major compounds of medicinal herbs which would use should be taken into consideration when planning to use them in fish diets.

(SAGE Publications Ltd, 2024) Gökçe, Oruç Numan; Aykora, Damla; Danışman, Merve; Demir, Ufuk; Aydeğer, Cemre; Süner, Salih Can; Oral, Ayhan; Karaboğa, İhsan; Uzun, Metehan
Abdominal adhesions are still among the most common postsurgical peritoneal inflammation-related complications. Adhesion-related disorders are still highly costly and prevalent due to advances in surgical techniques, treatment methods, and various drugs. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of Poly (D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA)- polyethylene glycol (PEG6000) Nanofiber + Melatonin on the abdominal adhesion model in rats. For this purpose, PLGA-PEG6000 Nanofiber + Melatonin matrix was fabricated and implanted in an experimental abdominal adhesion model in rats. Our study consisted of an in vitro and an in vivo part. The degradation and release profile of the matrix and Melatonin (Mel) embedded matrix was performed in vitro. In vivo, the procedure was carried out with 18 Wistar male rats. Rats were divided into three groups as follows: Sham, Matrix, and Mel + Matrix, respectively. Consequent to degradation and release profiling in vitro, an experimental adhesion model was created and fabricated pure matrix (2 × 2 cm2), and matrix (2 × 2 cm2, 0.25 mg melatonin/per matrix embedded) was applied to injury area in related groups. Intra-abdominal adhesion scores were determined on post-op 21st day, under general anesthesia. Following, cecum, peritoneal tissue, and adhesive bands were harvested. Macroscopic analysis (severity of adhesion formation), Hematoxlyn&Eosin and Masson’s Trichrome staining (for the examination of the levels of infiltration of inflammatory cells, fibrosis, and neovascularization) were performed for the evaluation of the effects of Mel embedded and pure matrix Our results indicated that PLGA-PEG6000 Nanofiber + Melatonin matrix was degraded completely in rats abdominal cavity and significantly reduced adhesion formation compared to other groups macroscopically (p < 0.05). On the other hand, the histopathological analysis indicated that the fabricated matrix reduced inflammatory cell infiltration, fibrosis, and neovascularization levels.
Assessing Some Bio-ecological Metrics Related to the Growth and Diet of Invasive Gambusia holbrooki in Different Habitats (lotic vs. lentic) of an Island Ecosystem (Gokceada, Turkey)
(Pleiades Publishing, 2023) Aǧdamar, Sevan; Sac, G.; Gaygusuz, O.
Abstract: Despite the widespread occurrences of development plasticity in non-native populations, its underlying causes and consequences for species fitness remain unclear. This study aims to assess the potential invasion characteristics of Gambusia holbrooki in different habitats (lotic vs. lentic) of an island ecosystem (Gökçeada, Turkey), by using metrics related to growth and diet. Fish specimens were collected by electrofishing quarterly between September 2019 and July 2020 in Büyük Stream and the shorelines of the Uğurlu Reservoir. The growth metrics of the species were similar in both habitats, showing positive allometry (b > 3) and high condition (K > 2). The vacuity index (VI), showing low values for each habitat (12.7 in lotic vs. 19.3 in lentic), was a mark of high feeding density of the species. Aquatic insects and zooplankton were the main food items in the diet of this invasive fish, and it exhibited generalist feeding habits with specifics depending on the habitats. Because the species fed heavily on Diptera in the lotic habitat and Cladocera in the lentic habitat, niche breadth values were low (0.16–0.22). It was determined that different habitat types did not have an effect on the LWR and condition of G. holbrooki, but changed its feeding strategy. Positive allometric growth and good condition, a comprehensive food range, high levels of feeding density, and high nutritional plasticity can be considered essential parameters in explaining the invasion success of this fish species living in two different habitat types.
Evaluation of metabolic stress status in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) exposed to the fungicide folpet
(Elsevier Inc., 2023) Acar, Ümit; Erden, Yavuz; İnanan, Burak Evren; Kesbiç, Osman Sabri; Yılmaz, Sevdan; Çelik, Ekrem Şanver
Among pesticides, fungicides are the most extensively used ones in agriculture and their effects on fish health and indirectly human health are needed to evaluate. Folpet has been used for over 50 years as a fungicide across the world. The mechanism of action of folpet on non-target aquatic organisms is so poorly understood and there is no available information about potential acute toxicity of folpet and its mechanism of action in non-target aquatic organisms. With this motivation, two successive experiments were set up: first, 96 h-LC50 value of folpet for common carp (Cyprinus carpio) was determined; and second, effects of different sublethal concentrations (0, 0.025, 0.50, 0.1 and 0.15 mg/L) of folpet on hematological serum biochemical blood parameters, DNA damages, expression levels of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione S-transferase (GST), and cortisol receptor (HSP70) genes were evaluated in this study. It was calculated that 0.199 mg/L of folpet was the 96 h-LC50 value. After the folpet exposure for 14 days, significant decreases in red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, serum total protein, and GST gene expression levels were observed while serum glucose, liver enzymes activities, and expression levels of CAT, SOD, GPx, HSP70 genes increased. Also, folpet induced a significant genotoxic effect on the blood cells regarding to DNA damages. Consequently, the results have shown the toxic effects of folpet even at the lowest concentration on common carp.
Relationship Between Environmental Factors, Meat Quality and Biochemical Composition Bearded Horse Mussel (Modiolusbarbatus, Linnaeus 1758) Ayvalik Bay, Balikesir- Turkey
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Acarlı, Sefa; Karakoç, Şenay; Vural, Pervin
Consumption of the bivalve and gastropod species from the Mollusca phylum has been increasing recently due to the high quality of their nutrient content compared to the terrestrial species. Especially bivalve species have an important share within the world total aquaculture production amount. The bearded horse mussels, Modiolus barbatus, (Linnaeus 1758) are consumed particularly in Europe. This study has been conducted from April 2016 to March 2017 in Kumru Cove in Ayvalık Bay, Balıkesir (N 39º18’07.6” and E 26º38’01.1”). Environmental conditions such as temperature, salinity, chlorophyll-a, particulate organic matter and particulate inorganic matter were monitored during the sampling period. The meat yield, condition index, shell component index, biochemical composition values were measured and calculated monthly during the study period. The condition index and meat yield values varied by 4.87–10.22 and 17.04 -23.37%, respectively. A negative relationship between protein and carbohydrate and also between carbohydrate and total lipid, and ash and moisture were found in the study (P ≤ 0.05). Temperature fluctuation had effect on salinity, condition index, shell component index, carbohydrate and moisture while seston influenced meat yield (P ≤ 0.05). The morphometric relationship of length/width and length/weight showed a negative allometry, while the isometric relationship was found between length and height.
Monthly variations of protein and amino acid composition of the smooth scallop Flexopecten glaber (Linnaeus 1758) in the Cardak Lagoon (Lapseki-Canakkale)
(Station Biologique de Roscoff, 2021) Vural, Pervin; Acarlı, Sefa
In the present study, the total protein and amino acid composition of smooth scallop (Flexopecten glaber) meat sampled every month for one year was determined in the Çardak Lagoon (Turkey). The lowest protein level in smooth scallop meat (57.41% dry weight, dw) was found in December, whereas the highest protein level was observed in April (67.62% dw). Essential amino acid concentrations ranged from 16.60 to 20.82 g.100 g-1 dw, while non-essential amino acid concentrations ranged from 36.03 to 46.68 g.100 g-1 dw. Among essential amino acids, phenylalanine was dominant. The highest essential amino acid contents were observed in winter and spring, while the highest non-essential amino acid contents were observed in summer and autumn. The differences in monthly essential amino acids and non-essential amino acid values were statistically significant (p < 0.05).
Frame Score, Grazing and Delayed Feedlot Entry Effect on Performance and Economics of Beef Steers from Small- and Large-Framed Cows in an Integrated Crop-Livestock System
(MDPI, 2021) Şentürklü, Songül; Landblom, Douglas; Paisley, Steven; Wachenheim, Cheryl; Maddock, Robert
When selling small-framed steers at weaning, profitability is diminished. The hypothesis is that by using a vertically integrated business model that includes retained ownership, extended grazing, abbreviated feedlot finishing, and selling at slaughter, profitability would increase. Crossbred yearling steers (n = 288) from small size Aberdeen Angus (Lowline) × Red Angus × Angus × Angus cows and moderate to large size Red Angus × Angus × Simmental × Gelbvieh cows calved May−June were randomly assigned (complete randomized design), in a 3 y study, to feedlot control (FLT) and extended grazing (GRZ) frame score treatment groups. Mean frame score for FLT were small frame (SF) 3.82 and large frame (LF) 5.63, and for GRZ, SF: 3.77 and LF: 5.53. Least-square means were utilized to identify levels of effects and to control family-wise error adjusted with Tukey test. The FLT control steers were housed in the feedlot and fed growing diets and subsequently high energy corn-based diets for 218 days. The GRZ steers grazed a sequence of forages (native range, field pea-barley mix, and unharvested corn) for 212 days and then were transferred to the feedlot and fed high energy corn-based finishing diets for 82 days. The SF GRZ steers grew more slowly grazing native range and annual forages compared to GRZ LF steers, but SF steer grazing cost per kg of gain was reduced 7.80%. Grazing steers did not grow to their full genetic potential. Slower growth during grazing allowed LF and SF steers to grow structurally before feedlot entry creating a compensatory feedlot finishing growth response. Overall, grazing steer performance exceeded steer performance of the FLT control treatment and LF grazing steers had the highest rate of gain, and lowest feed cost per kg of gain. The GRZ steer feedlot days on feed were reduced 136 days and total feed intake was reduced resulting in LF and SF grazing steer feed cost reductions of 175.9 and 165.3%, respectively. Extended grazing also resulted in LF and SF grazing steer hot carcass weights to be greater than control LF and SF steers and SF grazing steers had greater dressing percent, and marbling score. Carcass quality grade, meat tenderness, and cooking losses were similar. System net returns were highest for LF (USD 911.58), and SF (USD 866.61) grazing steers. Managerial modification combining retained ownership, extended grazing, and delayed feedlot entry increased profitability and eliminated market bias.

(Turkiye Klinikleri, 2021) Ağdamar, Sevan; Saç, Gülşah; Gaygusuz, Özcan; Doğaç, Ersin; Acar, Ümit; Gürsoy Gaygusuz, Çiğdem; Özuluğ, Müfit
Freshwater ecosystems have a greater value for biodiversity per surface area than terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Streams and lakes are notably prone to biodiversity loss, being the greatest threats habitat destructions and nonnative species. The aim of the present study is to assess the fish composition of lotic and lentic water systems of an island ecosystem (Gökçeada Island, Turkey), which is poorly studied, and to highlight the entry routes and possible impacts of translocated fish species in an island ecosystem. The field surveys were conducted in a total of 14 sampling sites (five reservoirs and nine streams) in the inland waters of Gökçeada Island between September 2019 and January 2021. Fish samples were collected by electrofishing (SAMUS 1000; a backpack electro-shocker). A total of eight fish species belonging to six families (Anguillidae, Atherinidae, Cyprinidae, Leuciscidae, Mugilidae, and Poeciliidae) were determined. As a result fish community of the island was mostly composed by the introduced species Carassius gibelio, Gambusia holbrooki and Pseudorasbora parva. This study provides the first detailed information on the distribution of the fish species encountered in the inland waters of Gökçeada Island. Results showed that the fish fauna of the island was predominantly shaped by fish stocking activities.

(Publications scientifiques du Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, 2021) Alataş, Mevlüt; Batan, Nevzat; Ezer, Tülay; Özdemlr, Turan; Erata, Hüseyin
The epiphytic bryophyte communities of the Altindere Valley (Macka, Trabzon, Turkey) were studied. A total of 59 releves, taken from living tree trunks in different vegetation periods of 2018 and 2020, were analysed according to the Braun-Blanquet methodology, and the releves were also ordinated and classified using the Detrended Correspondence Analysis (DECORANA) and the Two-Way Indicator Species Analysis (TWINSPAN). As a result of the analyses, Alleniella besseri-Leucodontetum immersi as. nov., Plagiomnio undulati-Raduletum lindbergianae typicum and P.-R. leucodontetosum sciuroidis subas. nov. (Neckerion complanatae) were described and characterised as a new epiphytic. Mnietum cuspidati, Homalothecio sericei-Neckeretum besseri and Brachythecietum populei-isothecietosum alopecuroidis were also described as new to Turkey, whereas Brachythecietum populei typicum was recorded for the second time in Turkey.

1. Andreaea blyttii Schimp. Contributor. R. Natcheva Bulgaria. Samokov Region, Rila Mountains, Rila National Park, N slopes of peak Deno, on granite slabs and scree, collected with occasional sporophytes, 42.19709°N, 23.60322°E, 2780 m a.s.l, 17 September 2019, leg./det. R. Natcheva s.n. (SOM 9811-B). This arctic-alpine species has a north Holarctic circumpolar distribution and this is the first report of Andreaea blyttii for SE Europe. It is its southernmost locality and extends its range further south in Europe. The Rila Mountains are the highest in the Balkan peninsula and A. blyttii was found near the highest summit (Mussala, 2925 m a.s.l.). In Bulgaria the genus Andreaea is also represented by A. alpestris (Thed.) Schimp. and A. rupestris Hedw., both of which occur in the Rila Mountains.
Comparison of milt and blood parameters including testosterone and gonadotropins levels of sex-reversed female rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) by different steroid hormones
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2021) İnanan, Burak Evren; Acar, Ümit
All-female progeny is preferable in the reproduction of rainbow trout. Using sex-reversed (SR) female rainbow trout by steroid hormones as broodstock in the reproduction is the most appropriate way to all-female progeny. This study compared mature SR female rainbow trout by ethisterone (ET), 11β-Hydroxyandrostenedione (HD) and 17α-Methyltestosterone (MT) in terms of spermatological parameters and health status, for the first time. Spermatozoa concentration, motility characteristics, seminal plasma pH, testosterone and gonadotropins in seminal plasma and blood serum, blood parameters of SR females were evaluated, comparing with testicular and stripped milt, and blood from normal males (NM). The SR females by HD had greater gonadosomatic index and better motility characteristics compared with other groups. Also, blood parameters of this group were more similar to those in NM. The SR females by ET had the lowest haematocrit and the highest glucose and activities of the enzymes compared with the other groups. The measured hormones were significantly the lowest in both seminal plasma and serum of the ET group. These findings suggested that using of HD for obtaining SR female should be preferred due to having the better quality spermatozoa and health status.
Monthly variation of micro- and macro-element composition in smooth scallop, Flexopecten glaber (Linnaeus, 1758), from the Çardak Lagoon (Çanakkale Strait, Turkey)
(Ege University Faculty of Fisheries, 2021) Vural, Pervin; Acarlı, Sefa
The present study investigated the total elemental composition (Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, Al, S, B, Na, Mg, K, Ca, P, S) in smooth scallop (Flexopecten glaber) meat collected monthly in the Çardak Lagoon (Turkey) in 2017- 2018. Considering the distribution of elements in terms of quantity during the year, the elements were sorted as S> Na> K> P> Mg> Ca> Fe> Zn> Mn> Al> B> Cu> Se and the heavy metals were below the detection limit. Although the elements were at their highest values during autumn and summer, they were at their lowest values during spring and winter. The differences between the months in terms of Fe, Mn, Mg, and Ca elements were found to be statistically significant (p <0.05). It was determined that the element composition of smooth scallop meat was suitable for consumption in terms of the area where it is collected and is beneficial for health when consumed in the amounts recommended by FAO/WHO, and CODEX. The Hazard Quotient (THQ) and the Hazard Index (HI), which was conducted to evaluate the health risks of consuming smooth scallop, were found below 1 all months. For this reason, smoth scallop consumption in this region does not have any negative effects on human health.
Effects of dietary fish oil replacement by poppy seed oil on growth performance and fillet quality of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
(Wiley, 2021) Örnek, Eda; Acar, Ümit; Öğütcü, Mustafa
Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were fed replacement of fish oil with diets including poppy seed oil (PSO; 0%, 50% and 100%). At the end of the 90-day feeding period, the water holding capacity of the fillets decreased when the storage time increased. The colour and pH values were affected by both storage and diets. The hardness, springiness, gumminess and chewiness index of the fillet samples decreased as a consequence of increasing storage time, whereas the cohesiveness values of the fillets increased. The addition of PSO increased unsaturated fatty acids and reduced saturated fatty acids in the fatty acid composition of the fillets. These results demonstrated that the fatty acid (FA) composition of the rainbow trout fillets was reflecting the FA composition of dietary treatments and oils sources. The total mesophilic and psychrophilic bacteria count of the fish oil (FO), poppy seed oil/fish oil (PSO/FO) and poppy seed oil (PSO) samples was found within the legal limit on the third day of storage; however, it was found above the legal limits on the fifth day of storage. The sensory evaluation results showed that the fish fed with PSO diet were found to be non-desirable. The results of the study suggested that the blend of 50% fish oil and 50% poppy seed oil could be used as a replacer of fish oil in diets for rainbow trout to obtained the best growth performance, fillet quality and storage conditions.

(Kastamonu Üniversitesi, 2021) Süel, Halil; Akdemir, Doğan; Ertuğrul, Emrah Tagi; Özdemir, Serkan
Aim of study: The main purpose of the study is to determine the site factors affecting bird diversity. Area of study: This study was performed in the Çandır District, Isparta which is located inner part of the Western Mediterranean region. Material and methods: In present study, Observations were conducted regularly in a total of 43 sample sites in Çandır District, throughout each month in 2016. Also, each sample site was observed using point-counting techniques from the direct observation techniques. In the present study, alpha diversity (Species richness, Menhinick, Margalef, Shannon-Wiener, Brillouin, Simpson, Berger-Parker, and Fisher’s Alpha) values were calculated, and significant variables were determined by using correlation analysis. Main results: A significant correlation (p=0.05) was determined between alpha diversity values and both environmental and climatic variables. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to compare alpha diversity indexes with each other. Species richness, Shannon, and Brillouin indexes were determined as the variables having the strongest correlation with environmental variables. Highlights: A better understanding of factors affecting bird species diversity, which are sensitive species of ecosystems, is of great importance for the detection and monitoring of future changes. Especially when it is considered in terms of parameter selection for modeling studies, the mentioned importance increases even more. Therefore, it is thought that the results of this research will be important both in terms of studies conducted in Çandır District and in terms of studies on bird diversity.

(Montenegrin Sports Academy, 2021) Şahin, Gülşah; Coşkun, Ali
This research aimed to investigate the physical fitness of older adults with similar physical activity levels according to gender. The Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) (Turkish version) was used to assess their physical activity levels, and the Senior Fitness Test was used to measure physical fitness based on performance. The Mann Whitney U test was used to compare the non-parametric data between the genders, and the t-test was used for the parametric data. No significant difference was found in age, height and weight between older women and older men (p>0.05). There were significant differences in the chair stand test, arm curl test, get-up-and-go test and twominute step test between older women and older men (p<0.05). There were no significant differences in the backscratch test and the chair sit-and-reach test between older women and men (p>0.05). There is a gender-related difference between physical fitness components of men and women with similar levels of physical activity, except f lexibility. Older men had stronger arms and legs, better dynamic balance, and better agility and aerobic capacities compared to older women in this research.

In the present study, fish meal (FM) was replaced by pea (Pisum sativum) protein (PP) in diet for Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) at levels of 0% (PP0), 25% (PP25), 50% (PP50), 75% (PP75) and 100% (PP100), and the effect of dietary PP level on the digestive system tracts and liver was investigated by micromorphological and histopathological evaluations. Morphometric measurements (mm 100g fish(-1)) of the liver width and stomach length in rainbow trout were found to be significantly larger (p <0.05) in fish with high-level pea protein as the main protein source (PP75, PP100) compared to the low-level PP replacement group (PP25). No significant differences were found in morphometric measurements for pyloric caecum and intestines among treatment groups, whereas the number of the caecum of fish fed the PP25 diets significantly increased over the control (PP0) (p<0.05). In the histological examination of the liver, mild hydropic and vacuolar degeneration was observed in all experimental groups except PP0 and PP25. The measurements of pyloric caecum fold height, enterocyte length and width of tunica muscularis of the high-level pea protein groups of PP75 and PP100 were significantly higher (p <0.05) compared to the control group. In conclusion, 25% substitution of PP can be suggested for FM in trout diets, because the findings of the present study provided evidence that the digestive system improved by increasing the number of pyloric caecum at this replacement level.
