Summary Ectoparasites, attaching mainly to the fins or gills, are a particularly conspicuous part of the parasite fauna of marine fishes. In particular the dominant copepods, have received much interest due to their effects on host populations. However, still little is known on the copepod fauna on fishes for many localities and their temporal stability as long-term observations are largely absent. The aim of this project was two-fold: 1) to deliver a current inventory of ectoparasitic copepods in fishes in the southern Wadden Sea around Texel and 2) to compare the current parasitic copepod fauna with the one from 1968 in the same area, using data published in an internal NIOZ report and additional unpublished original notes. In total, 47 parasite species have been recorded on 52 fish species in the southern Wadden Sea to date. The two copepod species, where quantitative comparisons between 1968 and 2010 were possible for their host, the European flounder (Platichthys flesus), showed different trends: Whereas Acanthochondria cornuta seems not to have altered its infection rate or per host abundance between years, Lepeophtheirus pectoralis has shifted towards infection of smaller hosts, as well as to a stronger increase of per-host abundance with increasing host length.

The only references that include Hawaiian caligoids are: Nordmann (1864), describing Norion expansus and Peniculus calamus; Wilson (1924), indicating that Pandarus satyrus has been taken from specimens of Prionace glauca captured in Hawaii; and Wilson (1932), indicating that Pandarus smithii has been collected from sharks taken in Hawaiian waters. In addition, Edmondson (1946) figures a large Pandarus species from sharks and a Lernaeenicus species from dolphins; Bonnet (1948) lists some Hawaiian caligoids, mainly from pelagic fishes; and Randall (1958) lists by family the copepods taken from stomachs of some parasite-picking fishes of the genus Labroides and Randall (1961) lists the parasitic copepods taken from the manini (Acanthurus triostegus sandvicensis) ' Department of Zoology, University of New Hampsbire, Durham, N.H.

  • Soft Materials at Interfaces for Controlling and Studying Marine Biofouling, Cellular Growth, and Phonon Polaritons
    Soft Materials at Interfaces for Controlling and Studying Marine Biofouling, Cellular Growth, and Phonon Polaritons by Kris Sanghyun Kim A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Chemistry University of Toronto © Copyright by Kris Sanghyun Kim 2017 Soft Materials at Interfaces for Controlling and Studying Marine Biofouling, Cellular Growth, and Phonon Polaritons Kris Sanghyun Kim Doctor of Philosophy Department of Chemistry University of Toronto 2017 Abstract Several “soft” material systems are investigated at the nanoscale through the application of surface sensitive techniques. The first family of projects focus on providing environmentally- friendly solutions to challenges faced in aquaculture, including marine biofouling and sea lice infestations. To address fouling, an aqueous-based method was developed for fabricating nanostructured block copolymer films. Specifically, a water-insoluble triblock copolymer, Poly(styrene-block-2 vinyl pyridine-block-ethylene oxide), was phase transferred from a water- immiscible phase into an aqueous environment, where it was found to self-assemble into core- shell-corona type micelles. These micelles were then coated onto surfaces to form thin films and adhesion studies using atomic force microscopy (AFM), zoospore settlement assays, and field tests reveal its ability to serve as a potential marine antifouling coating. Conventional drugs used to control sea lice infestations are becoming less effective as parasites grow tolerant and have been found to harm non-target local species. Here, I present the efficacy of biologically extracted ingredients to serve as potential biopesticides. Liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry techniques are developed and optimized to monitor the fate of azadirachtin (extracted from neem oil) when orally administered to Atlantic salmon and exposed to aqueous environments.

  • Parasites of Cartilaginous Fishes (Chondrichthyes) in South Africa – a Neglected Field of Marine Science
    Institute of Parasitology, Biology Centre CAS Folia Parasitologica 2019, 66: 002 doi: 10.14411/fp.2019.002 http://folia.paru.cas.cz Research article Parasites of cartilaginous fishes (Chondrichthyes) in South Africa – a neglected field of marine science Bjoern C. Schaeffner and Nico J. Smit Water Research Group, Unit for Environmental Sciences and Management, Potchefstroom Campus, North-West University, Potchefstroom, South Africa Abstract: Southern Africa is considered one of the world’s ‘hotspots’ for the diversity of cartilaginous fishes (Chondrichthyes), with currently 204 reported species. Although numerous literature records and treatises on chondrichthyan fishes are available, a paucity of information exists on the biodiversity of their parasites. Chondrichthyan fishes are parasitised by several groups of protozoan and metazoan organisms that live either permanently or temporarily on and within their hosts. Reports of parasites infecting elasmobranchs and holocephalans in South Africa are sparse and information on most parasitic groups is fragmentary or entirely lacking. Parasitic copepods constitute the best-studied group with currently 70 described species (excluding undescribed species or nomina nuda) from chondrichthyans. Given the large number of chondrichthyan species present in southern Africa, it is expected that only a mere fraction of the parasite diversity has been discovered to date and numerous species await discovery and description. This review summarises information on all groups of parasites of chondrichthyan hosts and demonstrates the current knowledge of chondrichthyan parasites in South Africa. Checklists are provided displaying the host-parasite and parasite-host data known to date. Keywords: Elasmobranchii, Holocephali, diversity, host-parasite list, parasite-host list The biogeographical realm of Temperate Southern Af- pagno et al.
