Abstract: Sagittae otoliths are the most studied because of their morphological variability and size; the sagittae may also have valuable taxonomic use and for D. auratus has not yet been described. In the present study we present a morphological description of the sagitta otolith and an analysis of its correlation with various mor- phometric parameters. The biological material was captured with a beach seine in the coasts of Alvarado and Port of Veracruz, from November 2009 to June 2010. Sagittae were extracted, cleaned, photographed (SEM and optical), and measured. The analysis included the correlations between sagitta’s length and width, versus the fish standard length, height and weight, for a total of 449 fishes. The comparison between left and right sagitta showed no significant difference in both otolith length and width (t-tests, p<0.05) for each sex. The right otolith was used for the correlations for both males and females and the Fisher test (d.f. 161 and 143, p<0.001) showed no significant differences in the slopes and intersections between them. The otolith length vs. fish weight cor- relation showed a positive allometric growth in males (b=3.9754, p<0.05) and females (b=4.3168, p<0.05). Rev. Biol. Trop. 61 (1): 139-147. Epub 2013 March 01.

ABSTRACT Estuaries and coastal lagoons in tropical latitudes are highly productive sustaining a rich fauna and a high fish biomass. The aim of the present work was to analyze the food partitioning and the pattern of length weight relationship of three fish species of the Gerreidae family (Diapterus auratus, Diapterus rhombeus and Eucinostomus melanopterus) by sampling the Alvarado lagoon system in Mexico from July 2008 to May 2010. Salinity and dissolved oxygen were higher in the dry season, when low volumes of fresh water drained into the lagoons. D. rhombeus was the most abundant species It showed isometric growth in the windy season, but growth was negatively allometric in the wet and dry seasons. D. auratus was second in abundance, with isometric growth in the rainy season and a negatively allometric growth in the dry and windy seasons.

Crustaceans used were the hololimnetic FW Aegla schmitti, and Macrobrachium potiuna, the diadromous FW Macrobrachium acanthurus, the estuarine Palaemon pandaliformis and the marine Hepatus pudibundus; fishes used were the FW Corydoras ehrhardti, Mimagoniates microlepis, and Geophagus brasiliensis, and the marine-estuarine Diapterus auratus. The capacity for IIR was assessed in vitro following wet weight changes of isolated muscle slices incubated in anisosmotic saline (~50% change).

Zoosystema 39 (4): 501-598. https://doi.org/10.5252/z2017n4a5 ABSTRACT 313 nominal species of monogenean parasites of aquatic vertebrates occurring in Mexico are included in this checklist; in addition, records of 54 undetermined taxa are also listed. All the monogeneans registered are associated with 363 vertebrate host taxa, and distributed in 498 localities pertaining to 29 of the 32 states of the Mexican Republic. Th e checklist contains updated information on their hosts, habitat, and distributional records. We revise the species list according to current schemes of KEY WORDS classifi cation for the group. Th e checklist also included the published records in the last 11 years, Platyhelminthes, Mexico, since the latest list was made in 2006. We also included taxon mentioned in thesis and informal distribution, literature. As a result of our review, numerous records presented in the list published in 2006 were Actinopterygii, modifi ed since inaccuracies and incomplete data were identifi ed. Even though the inventory of the Elasmobranchii, Anura, monogenean fauna occurring in Mexican vertebrates is far from complete, the data contained in our Testudines.

This situation improved after 2000 with 2 classes, 26 orders, 102 families and 264 genera is listed, fish surveys in specific sites of the coast (e.g., Feitoza with 83 species (18% of the total number) recorded for 2001; Feitosa et al.

  • New Species of Diplectanum (Monogenoidea: Diplectanidae
    FOLIA PARASITOLOGICA 55: 171-179, 2008 New species of Diplectanum (Monogenoidea: Diplectanidae), and proposal of a new genus of the Dactylogyridae from the gills of gerreid fishes (Teleostei) from Mexico and Panama Edgar F. Mendoza Franco12, Dominique G. Roche13 and Mark E. Torchin 'Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Apartado Postal 0843-03092 Balboa, Ancon, Panama, Republic of Panama; institute of Parasitology, Biology Centre of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Branisovska 31, 370 05 Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic; ^Department of Biology, McGill University, 1205 Avenue Doctor Penfield, Montreal, Quebec, H3A 1B1, Canada Key words: Monogenoidea, Diplectanidae, Dactylogyridae, Diplectanum, Octouncuhaptor, Diplectanum gatunense, Diplectanum mexicanum, Octouncuhaptor eugerrei, Eugerres brasilianus, Diapterus rhombeus, Panama, Mexico Abstract. While investigating the parasites of several marine fishes from the Western Atlantic, the Southern Gulf of Mexico and Central America (Panama), the following monogenoidean species from the gills of gerreid fishes (Gerreidae) were found: Diplec- tanum gatunense sp. n. (Diplectanidae) and Octouncuhaptor eugerrei gen. et sp. n. (Dactylogyridae) in Eugerres brasilianus (Cuvier) from Gatun Lake in the Panama Canal Watershed, and Diplectanum mexicanum sp. n. in Diapterus rhombeus (Cuvier) from the coast of Campeche State, Mexico. New diplectanid species are distinguished from other species of the genus by the general morphology of the copulatory complex and by the shape of the anchors and bars on the haptor. Octouncuhaptor gen. n. is proposed for its new species having slightly overlapping gonads (testis posterodorsal to the ovary), a dextrolateral vaginal aper- ture, a copulatory complex consisting of a coiled male copulatory organ with counterclockwise rings with the base articulated to the accessory piece, 8 pairs of hooks and the absence of anchors and bars on haptor.
