Wild (Atlantic/Pacific) fishes [No Abstract Available - A specimen taken in Buzzards Bay, July 15, 1899, was kept in a large pool at the Fish Commission laboratory until August 31, when it was examined for parasites. The stomach contained large numbers of bones, mostly vertebra of fish (squeteague, etc.) from which the flesh had been entirely digested. The stomach contained a large number of nematodes, which were very active and remained active for several hours in sea water. Indeed, they showed no tendency to come to rest at the time they were put in the killing fluid. While these worms have not yet been worked up, the following brief characterization may be given in this preliminary report. The general color of the body Wild (Atlantic/Pacific) Parasites of fishes collected in the Woods Bulletin of the United States Fish 6 in life was dark ashy brown; head and anterior part of the body to the base of the esophagus white. Jaws prominent, head wider than neck, which is sharply serrated, being crossed by fine transverse lines at regular intervals.

Wild (Atlantic/Pacific) [No Abstract Available - In connection with my study of the utilization of menhaden on the Texas coast (Knapp, 1950, Trans. Amer. Fish.

Causey, D. 1953 Science, University of Texas 3, 5–16 Fish Health An investigation of the fishes which inhabit the extensive shallow areas and channels in the vicinity of Cedar Key, Florida, was made from June, 1950, through May, 1951. The muddy sand-bottomed "flats" supported rich growths of vegetation during the warm months and a varied and abundant fish fauna found food and shelter among the plants. Over 13,000 specimens were collected and 122 species representing 100 genera and 58 families arc included in an An ecological study of the gulf of Mexico annotated list. The kinds and numbers of fishes varied seasonally, the greatest variety of species and abundance of individuals were found during the summer and early fall. Breeding occurred generally during the spring months. Food 13 Reid, J., George K.

Of the environmental factors, salinity did not appear to be critical while water temperature and bottom composition seemed to exert considerable influence on the local fish population. The Cedar Key fauna was found to consist predominantly of species more characteristically associated with temperate climate. However, comparison with the fauna of Texas and North Carolina shows a considerably greater proportion of West Indian forms at Cedar Key.

Results of a survey of [No Abstract Available -The Monogenea, one of the three orders of the class Trematoda, consists of ectoparasites the majority of which are found on the gills of marine and fresh-water fishes. Several species occur in the mouth and upper marine fishes of Port Aransas, with a respiratory tract of turtles and in the urinary bladder of turtles, frogs and toads. A few have been found on crustacea, particularly on isopods, on copepods, and on Argulus.

Distr. and abundance of 108 spp. are discussed.

Bulletin of Marine Science 6, 315–340 1956 Wild (Atlantic/Pacific) Rico. Seasonal spawning records show periodicity. Several important fish spp. are marked by their absence in the waters in Puerto Rico. The host-parasite relations of the 75 species of Monogenea in the present collection and many more from the literature have been considered and the following conclusions reached: 1. The species studied, and probably most other Monogenea, are highly host-specific. 2. Two phases or levels, infraspecificity and supraspecificity, are evident in monogeneid host-specificity.
