Abstract

Amphibians are not only an alternative source of vital protein for humans, but also one of the best bioindicators for ecological studies. In this study, we studied the age structure, body size, and mass of an amphibian species (Pelophylax ridibundus) by sampling from two different frog farms in Türkiye. The age ranged from 4 to 13 (mean: 7.1) years in the Adana site while the age varied from 1 to 12 (mean: 5.2) years in the İstanbul site. Body size ranged between 88.21 and 103.72 mm (mean: 94.99 ± 1.15 mm) in the Adana site and 45.96 and 103.25 mm (mean: 75.90 ± 3.01 mm) in the İstanbul site. The t-test confirmed that the average age, SVL, and weight of the Adana site were higher than those of İstanbul. Body size markedly increased with age and weight (SVL-age: r = 0.659, p < 0.01; SVL-weight: r = 0.877, p < 0.001) in the İstanbul site, while in the Adana site, body size correlated only with weight. In conclusion, our research uses skeletochronology to provide demographic characteristics of marsh frogs from two unexplored frog farms located in the west and south of Türkiye.

确定两个蛙场沼泽蛙年龄参数的调查
摘要 两栖类不仅是人类重要蛋白质的替代来源,也是生态研究的最佳生物指标之一。在这项研究中,我们从土耳其两个不同的青蛙养殖场取样,研究了一种两栖动物(Pelophylax ridibundus)的年龄结构、体型和体重。阿达纳蛙场的蛙龄为 4 至 13 岁(平均 7.1 岁),伊斯坦布尔蛙场的蛙龄为 1 至 12 岁(平均 5.2 岁)。阿达纳区的体型在 88.21 至 103.72 毫米之间(平均值:94.99 ± 1.15 毫米),伊斯坦布尔区的体型在 45.96 至 103.25 毫米之间(平均值:75.90 ± 3.01 毫米)。t 检验证实,阿达纳区的平均年龄、SVL 和体重均高于伊斯坦布尔区。伊斯坦布尔地点的体型明显随着年龄和体重的增加而增加(SVL-年龄:r = 0.659,p < 0.01;SVL-体重:r = 0.877,p < 0.001),而在阿达纳地点,体型只与体重相关。总之,我们的研究利用骨骼年代学提供了位于土耳其西部和南部的两个未开发蛙场的沼泽蛙的人口特征。
