A Survey of Gastrointestinal Cestode in Brownbanded Bamboo Shark Chilocyllium Punctatum M Ller & Henle, 1838 from Upper A Survey of Gastrointestinal Cestode in Brownbanded Bamboo Shark Chilocyllium punctatum Müller & Henle, 1838 from Upper Gulf of Thailand Chanya Udom1and Smarn Kaewviyudth1 1Department of Zoology, Faculty of Science, Kasetsart University, 50 Paholyothin Road, Chatuchak, Bangkok 10900. Corresponding author‘s e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: Six species of cestodes were described from the spiral intestine of 43 Brownbanded Bamboo sharks Chiloscyllium punctatum Müller & Henle, 1838 samples collected from 3 provinces; Chonburi, Chunthaburi and Trat province from November 2013 to February 2014. All fish specimens were infected with tetraphyllidean cestodes;, Carpobothrium sp., Caulopatera pagei, Orectolobicestus tyleri, Rhodobotrium sp., Spiniloculus mavensis and Yorkeria yubodohensis. In this study, the number of 7,451 cestodes were found in C. punctatum. The highest prevalence of cestode infection was O. tyleri (100%) followed by Y. yubodohensis (88.37%) S. mavensis (32.55%) Carpobotrium sp. (16.28%) Rhodobotrium sp. (6.98%) and C. pagei (6.97%) Keywords: Brownbanded bamboo shark, gastrointestinal cestode, Upper Gulf of Thailand Introduction Helminth parasites are an important field in aquatic sciences and health sciences, especially those of food-borne transmission (Thathaisong, 2012). They have been implicated in causing human infections by consumption of raw or undercooked seafood (Adam, 1997). Recently, the helminth parasites in marine fishes have been studied by several authours. Brownbanded Bamboo shark C. punctatum is a small benthic shark inhabiting coral reefs and off-shore bays thoughout the Indo-west Pacific region (Last et al., 1994; White et al., 2004). This species was found to be threatened by overfishing (Bennett et al., 2009). It has been included on the IUCN Red List as near threatened (Cavanagh et al., 2003; Harahush et al., 2007). According to FAO statistics, sharks have traditionally been used as food in coastal areas. Shark meat was consumed and preserved in different countries according to their food traditions and technologies available to them at that time. The most common preservation methods were drying, salting or smoking. A survey in this study were found in Thailand C. punctatum is consumed particularly menu Spicy fired stir shark. Although, a few species are capable of infecting humans, however, the worms are associated with behavioral factors which enhance infection, especially the habit of eating. Cestode parasites can be deterioration of fish health and consequently affect their economic development (Purivirojkul, 2012). The cestodes (Order Diphyllidea, Tetraphyllidea) are considered as one of the most groups have been founded in Chilocyllium sp. (Caira, 1990; Caira et al., 2002; Cavanagh et al., 2003; White et al., 2004; Khalil et al., 2006; Ruhnke et al., 2006 Caira et al., 2007; Cutmore et al., 2011; Desjardins et al., 2011; Purivirojkul, 2012). Many species of cestodes have been reported to C. punctatum, including, C. pagei, O. tyleri, S. mavensis, Y. chonburiensis, Y. kelleyae, Y. parva, Y. pusillulus, Y. saliputium and Y. yubodohensis (Caira et al., 2002; Ruhnke et al., 307 10-ǰöĉëčîć÷îǰ Öćøðøąßčöüĉì÷ćýćÿêøŤìćÜìąđúǰÙøĆĚÜìĊęǰ 2006; Christison et al., 2007; Cutmore et al., 2010; Desjardins et al., 2011 and Purivirojkul et al., 2011). Therefore, our objective were to study diversity and prevalence of infected gastrointestinal cestodes in C. punctatum collected samples from 3 coastline regions, Chonburi, Chunthaburi and Trat province (of Upper Gulf of Thailand). This study will be essential for update information, prevention and management these cestode parasitic disease transmitted by the C. punctatum population. These research focus on Brownbanded Bamboo sharks Chiloscyllium punctatum Müller & Henle, 1838 Materials and methods Total of 43 shark samples were collected from 3 regions; Chonburi, Chunthaburi and Trat province coast of Upper gulf of Thailand from November 2013 to February 2014. The spiral intestine and stomach were removed from the body by opened longitudinally. The mucosa was scraped to collect the cestode embedded in the mucosal layer. The contents carefully were examined under the stereomicroscope and all cestodes were counted before being fixed in 70% ethanol for further staining with borax carmine, then dehydrated in a graded ethanol series, clearance in xylene and mounted in Canada balsam. Cestode samples were photographed and measured (Olympus DP70 digital camera and Olympus BX51 microscope). Identification of the cestode species were done (Khalil et al, 2006; Desjardins et al., 2011; Purivirojkul, 2012; Results Six species of cestodes (Figure 1) were found in spiral intestine and stomach of C. punctatum, including, Carpobothrium sp, Caulopatera pagei, Orectolobicestus tyleri,, Rhodobotrium sp., Spiniloculus mavensis and Yorkeria yubodohensis (Figure 1). All cestode species belonged to the order Tetraphyllidea. The identification were emphasized and characterized by their scolex morphology. Carpobothrium sp. has a large scolex which consists of four oval bothridia; each bothridium with apical sucker. Each ending in a conical flat aria which is attached by a short penduncle. Almost quadrangular, narrow anteriorly and broad posteriorly. C. pagei was different from other tetraphyllidean genera in having stalked, circular, non-loculate bothridia that lack an apical sucker (Cutmore et al., 2010). O. tyleri also belonged to four bothridia; each bothridium with a single apical sucker and marginal loculi. Rhodobotrium sp. has a scolex with pyriform sac, opening of which is provided with lobe-like. Submarginal accessory sucker present at anterior end of each bothridium and strobila acraspedote. S. mavensis has four simple bothridia, each bothridium, divided into two by a transverse septum, separated from a broad flat muscular anterior region and has two C- shaped hooks of equal size and one large accessory sucker. Y. yubodohensis has bothridia with two C- shaped hooks of different sizes, medial and lateral hooks. Medial hooks were large while lateral hooks were smaller on bothridia with one small accessory sucker. In this study 7,451 cestodes were found in C. punctatum. The highest prevalence of parasitic infection was O. tyleri (5,547 specimens, 100%) followed by Y. yobodohensis (1,639 specimens, 88.37%) S. mavensis (216 specimens, 32.55%) Carpobotrium sp. (40 specimens, 16.28%) Rhodobotrium sp. (4 specimens, 6.98%) and C. pagei (9 specimens, 6.97%).

But in this study six species of cestodes were found, they are Carpobotrium sp., C. pagei, Rhodobotrium sp. O. tyleri, S. mavensis and Y. yubodohensis. And also have been shown Carpobotrium sp., C. pagei, O. tyleri, S. mavensis and Y. yubodohensis in C. punctatum from Gulf of Thailand. (Purivirojkul, 2012). But never found Rhodobotrium sp. in C. punctatum from the Gulf of Thailand. Many species of Yorkeria spp. were found in C. punctatum, including, Y. chonburiensis, Y. hilli, Y. kelleyae, Y. saliputium and Y. yubodohensis. (Purivirojkul., 2012). Carpobotrium sp. was found in Carcharis acutus from India (Nitur et al., 2008). O. tyleri was found in C. punctatum from the South Chaina Sea of Mukha, Malaysia (Ruhnke, 2006). Rhodobotrium sp. was found in some ray from Gulf of Mexico (Cambell, 1979). S. mavensis was originally described by Southwell (Desjardins, 2011) in Mustelus sp. and also found in Chiloscyllium indicum from Sri Lanka (Desjardin et al., 2011) and Chiloscyllium griseum from India (Subhapradha, 1955) and Chiloscyllium punctatum from Australia (Desjardins, et al., 2011; Caira, 1990). Rhodobotrium sp. found in this study are thought to be the first records of these two species in the Gulf of Thailand. Helminths can be damageable to the health of their hosts and have been affected as diseases in host population. Cestodes also cause epizootic outbreak with heavy mortalities

  • Integrating Multiple Chemical Tracers to Elucidate the Diet and Habitat of Cookiecutter Sharks Aaron B
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Integrating multiple chemical tracers to elucidate the diet and habitat of Cookiecutter Sharks Aaron B. Carlisle1*, Elizabeth Andruszkiewicz Allan2,9, Sora L. Kim3, Lauren Meyer4,5, Jesse Port6, Stephen Scherrer7 & John O’Sullivan8 The Cookiecutter shark (Isistius brasiliensis) is an ectoparasitic, mesopelagic shark that is known for removing plugs of tissue from larger prey, including teleosts, chondrichthyans, cephalopods, and marine mammals. Although this species is widely distributed throughout the world’s tropical and subtropical oceanic waters, like many deep-water species, it remains very poorly understood due to its mesopelagic distribution. We used a suite of biochemical tracers, including stable isotope analysis (SIA), fatty acid analysis (FAA), and environmental DNA (eDNA), to investigate the trophic ecology of this species in the Central Pacifc around Hawaii. We found that large epipelagic prey constituted a relatively minor part of the overall diet. Surprisingly, small micronektonic and forage species (meso- and epipelagic) are the most important prey group for Cookiecutter sharks across the studied size range (17–43 cm total length), with larger mesopelagic species or species that exhibit diel vertical migration also being important prey. These results were consistent across all the tracer techniques employed. Our results indicate that Cookiecutter sharks play a unique role in pelagic food webs, feeding on prey ranging from the largest apex predators to small, low trophic level species, in particular those that overlap with the depth distribution of the sharks throughout the diel cycle. We also found evidence of a potential shift in diet and/or habitat with size and season.

  • Discovery of a New Mode of Oviparous Reproduction in Sharks and Its Evolutionary Implications Kazuhiro Nakaya1, William T
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Discovery of a new mode of oviparous reproduction in sharks and its evolutionary implications Kazuhiro Nakaya1, William T. White2 & Hsuan‑Ching Ho3,4* Two modes of oviparity are known in cartilaginous fshes, (1) single oviparity where one egg case is retained in an oviduct for a short period and then deposited, quickly followed by another egg case, and (2) multiple oviparity where multiple egg cases are retained in an oviduct for a substantial period and deposited later when the embryo has developed to a large size in each case. Sarawak swellshark Cephaloscyllium sarawakensis of the family Scyliorhinidae from the South China Sea performs a new mode of oviparity, which is named “sustained single oviparity”, characterized by a lengthy retention of a single egg case in an oviduct until the embryo attains a sizable length. The resulting fecundity of the Sarawak swellshark within a season is quite low, but this disadvantage is balanced by smaller body, larger neonates and quicker maturation. The Sarawak swellshark is further uniquely characterized by having glassy transparent egg cases, and this is correlated with a vivid polka‑dot pattern of the embryos. Five modes of lecithotrophic (yolk-dependent) reproduction, i.e. short single oviparity, sustained single oviparity, multiple oviparity, yolk‑sac viviparity of single pregnancy and yolk‑sac viviparity of multiple pregnancy were discussed from an evolutionary point of view. Te reproductive strategies of the Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fshes) are far more diverse than those of the other animal groups. Reproduction in chondrichthyan fshes is divided into two main modes, oviparity (egg laying) and viviparity (live bearing).

  • Long-Term Sperm Storage in the Brownbanded Bamboo Shark Chiloscyllium Punctatum
    Journal of Fish Biology (2014) doi:10.1111/jfb.12606, available online at wileyonlinelibrary.com BRIEF COMMUNICATION Long-term sperm storage in the brownbanded bamboo shark Chiloscyllium punctatum M. A. Bernal*†‡,N.L.Sinai†§, C. Rocha†,M.R.Gaither†‖, F. Dunker† and L. A. Rocha† *University of Texas Marine Science Institute, 750 Channel View Dr, Port Aransas, TX 78373, U.S.A, †California Academy of Sciences, 55 Music Concourse Dr, San Francisco, CA 94118, U.S.A., §School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, U.S.A. and ‖School of Biological and Biomedical Sciences, Durham University, South Road, Durham DH1 3LE, U.K. (Received 12 May 2014, Accepted 13 November 2014) This study investigated the birth of a brownbanded bamboo shark Chiloscyllium punctatum at the Steinhart Aquarium. Genetic analyses suggest this is the longest documented case of sperm storage for any species of shark (45 months). © 2014 The Fisheries Society of the British Isles Key words: next-generation sequencing; parthenogenesis; RAD-Seq; shark conservation. On January 2012, a pup of Chiloscyllium punctatum Müller & Henle 1838 was born at the Steinhart Aquarium of the California Academy of Sciences (CAS; Fig. 1). What makes this event unusual is that one female of C. punctatum laid this egg after at least 45 months of complete isolation from males. The last time the three potential mothers of the pup could have been in contact with a male was at the Aquarium of the Pacific, from which they were acquired in September 2007. The three females were moved to the temporary location of the Steinhart Aquarium in downtown San Francisco, where they started producing eggs immediately.

Synonymy : Subfamily Chiloscylliinae Gill, 1862 (Family Scylliorhinoidae). FAO Names : En - Bamboo sharks, Longtailed carpetsharks; Fr - Requins chabot; Sp - Bamboas. Field Marks : Small, slender sharks with nasoral grooves, perinasal grooves, short barbels, small transverse mouths in front of eyes, dorsolateral eyes, large spiracles below eyes, no lateral skin flaps on head, two spineless dorsal fins, the second dorsal origin well ahead of the anal origin, a long, low keel-like rounded anal fin separated from the lower caudal origin by a narrow notch, and a long precaudal tail much greater. than the head and body length. Diagnostic Features : Body cylindrical or slightly depressed, with or without ridges on sides. Head narrow to moderately broad and cylindrical to somewhat flattened, without lateral flaps of skin, snout broadly rounded or slightly pointed; eyes dorsolaterally situated on head, without subocular pockets; spiracles very large, subequal in size to eyes and somewhat below them; gill slits small, fifth overlapping fourth; internal gill slits without filter screens; nostrils with short, pointed barbels and distinct circumnarial folds and grooves around outer edges of incurrent apertures; mouth small, subterminal on head, and nearly transverse, without a symphyseal groove on chin; teeth not strongly differentiated in jaws, with a medial cusp, lateral cusplets
