First, analysis of stomach content was performed to verify the feeding habits of the fish in their natural habitat. The behavior was then verified in aquarium experiments by feeding 2700 larvae to each fish. The feeding preference of the fish was evaluated in further experiments in which larvae and commercial fish food were offered, either separately or simultaneously. For both methods, the evaluation was performed by counting the number of adult mosquitoes that emerged during a 60-h observation period. The laboratory was main- tained at relatively stable temperature and humidity. The stomach content of 9 specimens of O. kneri captured in the Cuiabá River contained 26.5% insect larvae, with 11.5% exclusively from Diptera insects. The emergence of adults from insect larvae was not influenced by the presence of O.

  • New Oxyuroid Nematodes of the Genera Ichthyouris and Spinoxyuris from South American Freshwater Fishes
    FOLIA PARASITOLOGICA 48: 311-320, 2001 New oxyuroid nematodes of the genera Ichthyouris and Spinoxyuris from South American freshwater fishes František Moravec1 and Vernon E. Thatcher2 1Institute of Parasitology, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Branišovská 31, 370 05 České Budějovice, Czech Republic; 2Departamento de Zoologia, Universidade Federal do Paraná, Curitiba, Paraná and Research Fellow of the Conselho Nacional de Pesquisas (CNPq), Brasília, Brazil Key words: Ichthyouris, Spinoxyuris, Nematoda, Oxyuroidea, parasite, freshwater fish, Cichlasoma, Myleus, Brazil, French Guiana Abstract. Three hitherto unknown oxyuroid nematode species of the family Pharyngodonidae are described from the intestine of South American freshwater fishes, two of them being established as species new to science: Spinoxyuris annulata sp. n. from Myleus ternetzi (Norman) (Serrasalmidae) from French Guiana (Sinnamary River) and Ichthyouris ovifilamentosa sp. n. from Cichlasoma sp. (Cichlidae) from Amazonas (Negro River, São Gabriel da Cachoeira), Brazil. A third species, recovered from the same host as the latter (Cichlasoma sp.), was identified only as Ichthyouris sp. because of the absence of the male, although it probably also represents a new species. S. annulata differs from the only other congeneric species, S. oxydoras Petter, 1994, mainly in the absence of egg filaments, the location of an unpaired postanal papilla in the male, a distinctly longer spicule, and in an approximately double length of the body. Ichthyouris ovifilamentosa is closest to I. ro Inglis, 1962, differing from it principally in the structure of the cephalic end, the position of the excretory pore, and in the presence of filamented eggs. Ichthyouris sp. females differ from their congeners mainly in a characteristic structure of the cephalic end, the extent of lateral alae and the shape of their posterior ends, and in the character of egg filaments.

  • Phylogenetic Relationships of the South American Doradoidea (Ostariophysi: Siluriformes)
    Neotropical Ichthyology, 12(3): 451-564, 2014 Copyright © 2014 Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia DOI: 10.1590/1982-0224-20120027 Phylogenetic relationships of the South American Doradoidea (Ostariophysi: Siluriformes) José L. O. Birindelli A phylogenetic analysis based on 311 morphological characters is presented for most species of the Doradidae, all genera of the Auchenipteridae, and representatives of 16 other catfish families. The hypothesis that was derived from the six most parsimonious trees support the monophyly of the South American Doradoidea (Doradidae plus Auchenipteridae), as well as the monophyly of the clade Doradoidea plus the African Mochokidae. In addition, the clade with Sisoroidea plus Aspredinidae was considered sister to Doradoidea plus Mochokidae. Within the Auchenipteridae, the results support the monophyly of the Centromochlinae and Auchenipterinae. The latter is composed of Tocantinsia, and four monophyletic units, two small with Asterophysus and Liosomadoras, and Pseudotatia and Pseudauchenipterus, respectively, and two large ones with the remaining genera. Within the Doradidae, parsimony analysis recovered Wertheimeria as sister to Kalyptodoras, composing a clade sister to all remaining doradids, which include Franciscodoras and two monophyletic groups: Astrodoradinae (plus Acanthodoras and Agamyxis) and Doradinae (new arrangement). Wertheimerinae, new subfamily, is described for Kalyptodoras and Wertheimeria. Doradinae is corroborated as monophyletic and composed of four groups, one including Centrochir and Platydoras, the other with the large-size species of doradids (except Oxydoras), another with Orinocodoras, Rhinodoras, and Rhynchodoras, and another with Oxydoras plus all the fimbriate-barbel doradids. Based on the results, the species of Opsodoras are included in Hemidoras; and Tenellus, new genus, is described to include Nemadoras trimaculatus, N.

  • Freshwater Fishes of Argentina: Etymologies of Species Names Dedicated to Persons
    Ichthyological Contributions of PecesCriollos 18: 1-18 (2011) 1 Freshwater fishes of Argentina: Etymologies of species names dedicated to persons. Stefan Koerber Friesenstr. 11, 45476 Muelheim, Germany, [email protected] Since the beginning of the binominal nomenclature authors dedicate names of new species described by them to persons they want to honour, mostly to the collectors or donators of the specimens the new species is based on, to colleagues, or, in fewer cases, to family members. This paper aims to provide a list of these names used for freshwater fishes from Argentina. All listed species have been reported from localities in Argentina, some regardless the fact that by our actual knowledge their distribution in this country might be doubtful. Years of birth and death could be taken mainly from obituaries, whereas those of living persons or publicly unknown ones are hard to find and missing in some accounts. Although the real existence of some persons from ancient Greek mythology might not be proven they have been included here, while the names of indigenous tribes and spirits are not. If a species name does not refer to a first family name, cross references are provided. Current systematical stati were taken from the online version of Catalog of Fishes.

The present study provides the first investigation on the ecological aspects of the parasites M. lippincottianus from the Amazonian basin, as well as the parasite-host relationship. 76 out of the examined fish (98.7%) were parasitized by at least one species of parasites. A total of 8,774 parasites were collected, being Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, Anacanthorus jegui, Dadayius pacupeva, Digenea gen. sp. (metacercariae), Procamallanus (Spirocamallanus) inopinatus, Procamallanus (Spirocamallanus) sp., Spinoxyuris oxydoras, Contracaecum sp. larvae, Dolops longicauda and Hirudinea gen. sp. Ichthyophthirius multifiliis was the dominant species, followed by A. jegui. Among the endoparasites, S. oxydoras and D. pacupeva were predominant. The mean diversity of parasites was HB = 0.96 ± 0.32 and there was aggregate distribution pattern. A positive correlation of body weight with the abundance of I. multifiliis and S. Oxydoras was observed, whereas a negative correlation of body weight with abundance of the Contracaecum sp. larvae was found. The relative condition factor (Kn) was not negatively affected by parasites, and a positive correlation between Kn and abundance of I.
