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copepod fauna with the one from 1968 in the same area, using data published in an internal NIOZ report and additional unpublished original notes.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.

  • APPENDIX 1 Classified List of Fishes Mentioned in the Text, with Scientific and Common Names
    APPENDIX 1 Classified list of fishes mentioned in the text, with scientific and common names. ___________________________________________________________ Scientific names and classification are from Nelson (1994). Families are listed in the same order as in Nelson (1994), with species names following in alphabetical order. The common names of British fishes mostly follow Wheeler (1978). Common names of foreign fishes are taken from Froese & Pauly (2002). Species in square brackets are referred to in the text but are not found in British waters. Fishes restricted to fresh water are shown in bold type. Fishes ranging from fresh water through brackish water to the sea are underlined; this category includes diadromous fishes that regularly migrate between marine and freshwater environments, spawning either in the sea (catadromous fishes) or in fresh water (anadromous fishes). Not indicated are marine or freshwater fishes that occasionally venture into brackish water.

  • Lipid Classes and Fatty Acid Profile of Cultured and Wild Black Rockfish
    Journal of Oleo Science Copyright ©2014 by Japan Oil Chemists’ Society doi : 10.5650/jos.ess13217 J. Oleo Sci. 63, (6) 555-566 (2014) Lipid Classes and Fatty Acid Profile of Cultured and Wild Black Rockfish, Sebastes schlegeli Hiroaki Saito＊ and Satoru Ishikawa† National Research Institute of Fisheries Science, Fisheries Research Agency, 2-12-4, Fuku-ura, Kanazawa-ku, Yokohama-shi 236-8648, Japan † ‌Present address: Shimokita Brand Research Institute, Aomori Prefectural Industrial Tech-nology Research Center (154, Ueno, Ohata, Mutsu 039-4401, Aomori, Japan). Abstract: The lipid and fatty acid compositions of the muscle and liver of adult and juvenile black rockfish, Sebastes schlegeli, and that of its stomach contents were examined to clarify its lipid characteristic and the difference between aquacultured and wild samples. Triacylglycerols were the dominant depot lipids of all samples, while phospholipids, such as phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine, were found to be the major components in the polar lipids. The cultured juvenile and young samples had high levels of 18:2n- 6 (linoleic acid, 5.0% and 4.0–5.9% for TAG of juvenile and young samples) with low levels of 22:6n-3 (docosahexaenoic acid: DHA, 9.7% and 3.3–6.7% for TAG of juvenile and young samples), whereas the adults (both cultured and wild) had only trace levels of 18:2n-6 (0.6–1.3% and 1.0–1.3% for TAG of cultured and wild samples) with noticeable levels of DHA (3.3–19.7% and 5.2–11.9% for TAG of cultured and wild samples). Similar to the fatty acid profiles in TAG of both cultured and wild adult samples, those in the phospholipids of both the samples were very similar to each other.

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.

  • Research Note
    Proc. Helminthol. Soc. Wash. 49(2), 1982, pp. 314-317 Research Note Parasites of Bocaccio, Sebastes paucispinis, from Southern and Central California From January 1976 to September 1981, 29 species of parasites were collected from 145 bocaccio, Sebastes paucispinis, taken off the coast of southern and central California. Bocaccio is the most important rockfish in California, com- prising approximately 35^0% of the annual commercial rockfish catch (Fitch, 1974, Offshore Fishes of California. Calif. Dep. Fish and Game). Many of the parasites are quite visible to commercial fishermen, sportsmen, and fish-market customers. Tapeworms emerging from the anus, coiled nematodes in the viscera, and puslike material exuding from ruptured protozoan cysts in fillets are unap- petizing and aesthetically displeasing. Heavily infected fish are sometimes dis- carded altogether, and are considered unsafe to eat. The present study was un- dertaken primarily to ascertain which species of parasites were most obvious to laymen, but efforts were made to identify all parasites encountered. To date there have been no comprehensive surveys on the parasites of bocaccio from Califor- nia, although Sekerak and Arai (1977, Syesis 10:139-144) reported the helminths and copepods of this fish from Canadian waters. The parasites collected consisted of seven species of protozoa, 18 species of helminths, and four species of crustaceans (Table 1). The parasites most con- spicuous to commercial and sport fishermen were Kudoa dupeidae, Paraboth- riocephalus sagitticeps, Anisakis simplex, Phocanema decipiens, and Lafystius sp. Cysts of K. dupeidae were located in the skeletal muscle and were easily ruptured when fish were filleted. The contents have the appearance of thick pus, and the presence of numerous cysts makes the fillets difficult to sell.

SUMMARY: Parasites are recognised as an excellent source of information on the distribution of their hosts. Here, the mac- roparasite fauna of 20 species of Pleuronectiformes belonging to five different families and inhabiting the Portuguese coast was investigated and compared with that known in four other areas (the North Sea, north Northeast Atlantic, Mediterranean Sea and Northwest African coast) in order to determine (1) their zoogeographical pattern and (2) the role of the Portuguese coast as an intermediate biogeographic province. Macroparasites infecting Pleuronectiformes sampled along the Portuguese coast were collected using standard parasitological techniques, whereas data on those in the other four areas were obtained from the literature, rendering a total of 73 macroparasite species.

Abstract Background: The parasitic Platyhelminthes (Neodermata) contains three parasitic groups of flatworms, each having a unique morphology, and life style: Monogenea (primarily ectoparasitic), Trematoda (endoparasitic flukes), and Cestoda (endoparasitic tapeworms).
