Abstract :
The number and structure oRed mullet, Mullus barbatus, Karyotypef red mullet chromosomes (Mullus barbatus Linnaeus, 1758) were investigated and thespecies karyotype was analyzed. Specimens were obtained by trawl from the coast of Zonguldak, Turkey. A colchicine solution, 0.1mg/g of body weight, was intramuscularly injected dorsally, and intraperitoneally injected ventrally. Slides were prepared from gilland fin epithelial tissues. Results of the conventional staining method showed that this species has 2n = 44 diploid chromosomes
