Wash. 48(2), 1981, pp. 113-126 Larval Hysterothylacium (=Thynnascaris) (Nematoda: Anisakidae) from Fishes and Invertebrates in the Gulf of Mexico THOMAS L. DEARDORFF* AND ROBIN M. OVERSTREET Gulf Coast Research Laboratory, Ocean Springs, Mississippi 39564 ABSTRACT: Numerous fishes and invertebrates in the northern Gulf of Mexico contain larvae of four forms of Hysterothylacium: ?//. reliquens (=type MA, Mississippi A), type MB, H.fortalezae (=type MC), and type MD. The third-stage larvae (possible second-stage larva of type MB) of all are described and illustrated; furthermore, corresponding fourth-stage larvae of all but type MB are described. A key to all these inshore and nearshore larvae is included. Biological differences among related species are exemplified using H. reliquens and Iheringascaris inclines. The second-stage larva of /. inclines survives much longer in cold water than that of H. reliquens, and the fourth-stage larva of /. inclines is unique because it invades alimentary tissue of the final host. Adult nematodes of the genus Hysterothylacium Ward and Magath, 1917 are restricted to the digestive tract, with one exception (Machida et al., 1978), of fishes, whereas their larvae parasitize various tissues of numerous fishes and invertebrates (e.g., Norris and Overstreet, 1976). Deardorff and Overstreet (1981) reviewed the genus, previously known as Thynnascaris Dollfus, 1933 or Contra- caecum sensu lato, and examined adults of six species from the Gulf of Mexico. In this paper, we describe the larvae of four forms of Hysterothylacium fol- lowing the nomenclature initiated by Norris and Overstreet (1976) and provide a listing of hosts. The number of species in the inshore northern Gulf of Mexico may be greater because more than one species could have morphologically similar larvae. However, some known adults from the Gulf of Mexico are rare and not found in inshore northern regions where most larval specimens were collected. On the other hand, two forms may be different phases of the same species, and we may have included larvae of the related Iheringascaris inquies (Linton, 1901) Deardorff and Overstreet, 1981 which is not Hysterothylacium sensu stricto, even though placed in the genus Thynnascaris by most recent workers (see Deardorff and Overstreet, 1981). Our studies of the ascaridoid fauna in the Gulf of Mexico have differentiated at least one species that is a potential public health hazard. Norris and Overstreet (1976) established that Hysterothylacium type MB rapidly penetrated the alimen- tary tract of white mice. That study has been expanded (Ebert and Norris, per- sonal communication), and the worm also causes lesions and diffuse mucosal hemorrhaging in the rhesus monkey (Overstreet and Meyer, 1981). Fetter (1969a, b) hypothesized that H. aduncum (Rudolphi, 1802) Deardorff and Overstreet, 1981 (as Thynnascaris adunca) from Sardina pilchardus (Walbaum) was the caus- ative agent for several cases of anisakiasis in man; however, Vermeil et al. (1975) determined that the suspected nematode did not penetrate the rabbit stomach and questioned the hypothesis. Under stated experimental conditions, Hysterothy- lacium type MA did not penetrate tissues in mice (Norris and Overstreet, 1976). 1 Present address: Department of Tropical Medicine, U.H., Leahi Hospital, Honolulu, Hawaii

Efficient hydrostatic skeleton; room for networks of blood vessels, the alimentary canal, and associated organs. 10.2 Characteristics A. Phylum Mollusca 1. Contains nearly 75,000 living species and 35,000 fossil species. 2. They have a soft body. 3. They include chitons, tooth shells, snails, slugs, nudibranchs, sea butterflies, clams, mussels, oysters, squids, octopuses and nautiluses (Figure 10.1A-E). 4. Some may weigh 450 kg and some grow to 18 m long, but 80% are under 5 centimeters in size. 5. Shell collecting is a popular pastime. 6. Classes: Gastropoda (snails…), Bivalvia (clams, oysters…), Polyplacophora (chitons), Cephalopoda (squids, nautiluses, octopuses), Monoplacophora, Scaphopoda, Caudofoveata, and Solenogastres. B. Ecological Relationships 1. Molluscs are found from the tropics to the polar seas. 2. Most live in the sea as bottom feeders, burrowers, borers, grazers, carnivores, predators and filter feeders. 1. Fossil evidence indicates molluscs evolved in the sea; most have remained marine. 2. Some bivalves and gastropods moved to brackish and fresh water. 3. Only snails (gastropods) have successfully invaded the land; they are limited to moist, sheltered habitats with calcium in the soil. C. Economic Importance 1. Culturing of pearls and pearl buttons is an important industry. 2. Burrowing shipworms destroy wooden ships and wharves. 3. Snails and slugs are garden pests; some snails are intermediate hosts for parasites. D. Position in Animal Kingdom (see Inset, page 172) E.

    Structure and Function of the Digestive System in Molluscs

    Cell and Tissue Research (2019) 377:475–503 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00441-019-03085-9 REVIEW Structure and function of the digestive system in molluscs Alexandre Lobo-da-Cunha1,2 Received: 21 February 2019 /Accepted: 26 July 2019 /Published online: 2 September 2019 # Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract The phylum Mollusca is one of the largest and more diversified among metazoan phyla, comprising many thousand species living in ocean, freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems. Mollusc-feeding biology is highly diverse, including omnivorous grazers, herbivores, carnivorous scavengers and predators, and even some parasitic species. Consequently, their digestive system presents many adaptive variations. The digestive tract starting in the mouth consists of the buccal cavity, oesophagus, stomach and intestine ending in the anus. Several types of glands are associated, namely, oral and salivary glands, oesophageal glands, digestive gland and, in some cases, anal glands. The digestive gland is the largest and more important for digestion and nutrient absorption. The digestive system of each of the eight extant molluscan classes is reviewed, highlighting the most recent data available on histological, ultrastructural and functional aspects of tissues and cells involved in nutrient absorption, intracellular and extracellular digestion, with emphasis on glandular tissues. Keywords Digestive tract . Digestive gland . Salivary glands . Mollusca . Ultrastructure Introduction and visceral mass. The visceral mass is dorsally covered by the mantle tissues that frequently extend outwards to create a The phylum Mollusca is considered the second largest among flap around the body forming a space in between known as metazoans, surpassed only by the arthropods in a number of pallial or mantle cavity.

Prepharynx short; pharynx strong; esophagus present; ceca diverging strongly, reaching to near posterior encl of body. Gonads symmetrical or nearly so, immediately posterior to acetabulum. Genital pore to left of midpharyngeal level. Uterus almost entirely posterior to gonads. Vitellaria folJicular, lateral, from level of cecal bifurcation to posterior end of body, tending to become confluent posterior to uterus. Seminal receptacle present. Excretory vesicle I-shaped. Type species: Orthodena tropica. Remarks This genus is most closely related to Plagio­ pon,s Stafford, 1904, and Pseudoplagioporus Yamaguti, 1938, differing in the location of the ovary directly to the right of the sym­ metrical testes. Thus, the three gonads lie in a straight line across the body inm- ediately posterior to the acetabulum.

    43 ON SOME TASMANIAN PATELLIDyE. By the Rev. J. E. Tenison Woods, F.L.S., F.G.S. IBead 9ih May, 1876.] Our knowledge of Australian mollusca is almost confined to descriptions from the shells alone. Nearly all that we do know of the animals inhabiting the shells has been given to us by Messrs. Quoy and Gaimard in the voyage of the Astrolabe, where the plates as far as they go, leave but little to be desired. In the Nudibranchiate section Mr. G. F. Angas, F.L.S., etc., has done good service. But the greater part of the field remains untrodden. I propose in this paper to give a more detailed account than has yet appeared of the shells and animals of some Tasmanian Patellid^. I choose this family because it is the one in which a knowledge of the animal is most required to arrive at correct principles of classification. Limpets cannot be determined from the shell alone. The genera are classed according to the respiratory organs of the animal. These can only be told by a study of the habits of the animal, and by dissection. To both of these methods I have given lately some attention, and a part of my conclusions are embodied in the present paper. Before giving a glance at the character of the genera, let me state the principles which have guided me in the nomencla- ture. Conchology has recently increased its synonyms with a rapidity which is perfectly appalling. No naturalist can deprecate too strongly the practice of lightly changing a re- ceived name.

Research interests span the weather-climate continuum and both basic and applied scientific questions on past, present and future climate dynamics as well as their influence on wildfire, ecology and agriculture and is a key player in the development of integrated climate scenarios for the Pacific Northwest, US. Oral presentation, Wednesday, 2:30 PM, B114 Will climate change increase the occurrence of megafires in the western United States? The largest wildfires in the western United States account for a substantial portion of annual area burned and are associated with numerous direct and indirect geophysical impacts in addition to commandeering suppression resources and national attention. While substantial prior work has been devoted to understand the influence of climate, and weather on annual area burned, there has been limited effort to identify factors that enable and drive the very largest wildfires, or megafires. We hypothesize that antecedent climate and shorter-term biophysically relevant meteorological variables play an essen- tial role in favoring or deterring historical megafire occurrence identified using the Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity Atlas from 1984-2010. Antecedent climatic factors such as drought and winter and spring temperature were found to vary markedly across geographic areas, whereas regional commonality of prolonged extremely low fuel moisture and high fire danger prior to and immediately following megafire discovery.

Bray Department of Life Sciences, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London, SW7 5BD, UK ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: The developments in the study of digeneans of deep-sea fish in the 21st Century are documented and discussed. Deep-sea Most recent work has been on the bathyal fauna (i.e. 1,000m-2,999 m depth), with virtually nothing on the Digenea abyssal fauna (i.e. deeper than 3,000 m). The one study on hydrothermal vent digeneans has indicated that these Teleosts regions probably harbour a distinctive fauna. The demarcation of the deep-sea fauna is blurred at the poles, Abyss where the cold-adapted fauna appears similar to the shallower bathyal fauna. The abyssal fauna, however, Bathyal appears distinct, possibly due to adaptations to variable or ultra-high pressures. The digenean fauna of bath- Diversity ypelagic fishes is depauperate. Recent phylogenetic studies reinforce the view that the typical deep-sea faunahas radiated in the deep-sea. Encroachment into the deep from shallow water is relatively rare. Overall, the digenean fauna in the deep-sea is distinctly less diverse that the equivalent fauna in shallow waters. A major conclusion is that our understanding of the deep-sea digenean fauna is poor, and that much further work over a much wider area is needed. 1.

    A REVIEW OF THE CEPHALOPODS OF WESTERN NORTH AMERICA By S. Stillman Berry Stanford University, California Blank page retained for pagination A REVIEW OF THE CEPHALOPODS OF WESTERN NORTH AMERICA. By S. STILLMAN BERRY, Stanford University, California. J1. INTRODUCTION. "The region covered by the present report embraces the western shores of North America between Bering Strait on the north and the Coronado Islands on the south, together with the immediately adjacent waters of Bering Sea and the North Pacific Ocean. No attempt is made to present a monograph nor even a complete catalogue of the species now living within this area. The material now at hand is inadequate to properly repre­ sent the fauna of such a vast region, and the stations at which anything resembling extensive collecting has been done are far too few and scattered. Rather I have merely endeavored to bring out of chaos and present under one cover a resume of such work as has already been done, making the necessary corrections wherever possible, and adding accounts of such novelties as have been brought to my notice. Descriptions are given of all the species known to occur or reported from within our limits, and these have been made. as full and accurate as the facilities available to me would allow. I have hoped to do this in such a way that students, particularly in the Western States, will find it unnecessary to have continual access to the widely scattered and often unavailable literature on the subject. In a number of cases, however, the attitude adopted must be understood as little more than provisional in its nature, and more or less extensive revision is to be expected later, especially in the case of the large and difficult genus Polypus, which here attains a development scarcely to be sur­ passed anywhere.
