Box 5969, Safat 13060, Kuwait; current address: H-7633 Pecs, Ercbanyasz u. 10, Hungary ABSTRACT: Seventeen species of Diplectanidae were collected from the gills of 17 species of marine fishes from the Persian Gulf off Kuwait. Lepidotrema kuwaitcnsis sp. n. from Terapon puta (Teraponidae), Lamellodiscus furcillatus sp. n. from Diplodus noct (Sparidae), and Protolamellodiscus senilobatus sp. n. from Argyrops spinifer and A. filamentosus (Sparidae) are described. Diplectanum cazauxi from Sphyraena jello and S. obtusata (Sphy- raenidae) (new host and geographic records), D. sillagonum from Sillago siharna (Sillaginidae) (new geographic record), Pseudolarnellodiscus sphyraenae from Sphyraena chrysotaenia (Sphyraenidae) (new host and geograph- ic records), and Calydiscoides flexuosus from Nemipterus peronii and N. bipunctatus (Nemipteridae) (new host and geographic records) are redescribed. An incidental geographic record for C. flexuosus on N. japonicus from the western coast of India is included. Ten diplectanid species from 8 hosts were unidentified for lack of sufficient specimens. Diplectanum longipenis (synonym: Squamodiscus longipenis) is transferred to Lepidotrema. Squa- modiscus is removed from synonymy with Diplectanum and becomes a junior subjective synonym of Lepido- trema. Calydiscoides indianus (synonyms: Lamellospina Indiana and C. indicus) is a junior subjective synonym of C. flexuosus.

Abstract Background: Although numerous studies on parasites of the Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua L. have been conducted in the North Atlantic, comparative analyses on local cod parasite faunas are virtually lacking. The present study is based on examination of large samples of cod from six geographical areas of the North East Atlantic which yielded abundant baseline data on parasite distribution and abundance.

    Parasites of Coral Reef Fish: How Much Do We Know? with a Bibliography of Fish Parasites in New Caledonia

    Belg. J. Zool., 140 (Suppl.): 155-190 July 2010 Parasites of coral reef fish: how much do we know? With a bibliography of fish parasites in New Caledonia Jean-Lou Justine (1) UMR 7138 Systématique, Adaptation, Évolution, Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, 57, rue Cuvier, F-75321 Paris Cedex 05, France (2) Aquarium des lagons, B.P. 8185, 98807 Nouméa, Nouvelle-Calédonie Corresponding author: Jean-Lou Justine; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. A compilation of 107 references dealing with fish parasites in New Caledonia permitted the production of a parasite-host list and a host-parasite list. The lists include Turbellaria, Monopisthocotylea, Polyopisthocotylea, Digenea, Cestoda, Nematoda, Copepoda, Isopoda, Acanthocephala and Hirudinea, with 580 host-parasite combinations, corresponding with more than 370 species of parasites. Protozoa are not included. Platyhelminthes are the major group, with 239 species, including 98 monopisthocotylean monogeneans and 105 digeneans. Copepods include 61 records, and nematodes include 41 records. The list of fish recorded with parasites includes 195 species, in which most (ca. 170 species) are coral reef associated, the rest being a few deep-sea, pelagic or freshwater fishes. The serranids, lethrinids and lutjanids are the most commonly represented fish families. Although a list of published records does not provide a reliable estimate of biodiversity because of the important bias in publications being mainly in the domain of interest of the authors, it provides a basis to compare parasite biodiversity with other localities, and especially with other coral reefs. The present list is probably the most complete published account of parasite biodiversity of coral reef fishes.

Bataillon, F-34095 Montpellier, Cedex 5, France ABSTRACT: Dactylogyrids from Labeo parvus Boulenger, 1902, L. alluaudi Pellegrin, 1933, and L. rouaneti, Daget, 1962, were studied in Atlantic coastal basins in West Africa. Nine species (6 new) of Dactylogyridae were found: Dactylogyrus longiphallus Paperaa, 1973, D. falcilocus Guegan, Lambert, and Euzet, 1988, and Dogielius kabaensis sp. n. from L. parvus populations in coastal rivers of Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia; Dactylogyrus longiphalloides sp. n. and Dogielius kabaensis sp. n. from L. alluaudi in the river Bagbwe in Sierra Leone; Dactylogyrus sematus sp. n., D. jucundus sp. n., D. omega sp. n., and Dogielius rosumplicatus sp. n. from L. rouaneti in the Konkoure system in Guinea. Dactylogyrus brevicirrus Paperna, 1973, characteristic of L. parvus in the large Sahel-Sudan basins, was not found in coastal rivers of Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia. Labeo alluaudi from the rivers Cavally and Nipoue in Cote d'lvoire and Liberia were not parasitized. Comparison of branchial monogeneans in different populations of L. parvus in West Africa shows that there are 2 host groups. The first consists of host populations in Guinean coastal basins, characterized by Dactylogyrus longiphallus, D. falcilocus, and Dogielius kabaensis sp. n. The second comprises the other populations in adjacent basins, marked by Dactylogyrus brevicirrus, whose presence is interpreted as a host switching.

In total, 221 (varied between 10.8-21.9 cm in total length and 18.19-150.10 g in total weight) were examined on a monthly basis between May 2015 and April 2016. The sex ratio (male: female) was 1:0.51 and showed significant variation depending on age classes. The length-weight relationship parameters were estimated as follows; a = 0.0171, b = 2.92, r 2= 0.92 (n = 221). Ages ranged from 1 to 5, and the 2-years group was dominant (42.53%) for both sexes. von Bertalanffy growth parameters and phi-prime -1 growth performance index value calculated as L∞= 27.57 cm, k= 0.183 year , t0= -2.88 and Φ= 2.14 for all individuals. The results representing the first study on age and growth of N. randalli in the southern Aegean Sea.

Monthly prevalence ranged from 5(14.7%) to 17(51.5%). Highest monthly parasite intensity (5 parasites /kg) was recorded in the month of June and July while highest mean condition factor (0.9900 kg/cm3) was observed in the month of July. 88 (22.0%) and 47 (11.8%) prevalence were recorded for wet and dry seasons respectively. More females (17.3 %) hand infection than males (16.5 %). Infection was highest in 41-50cm, 61cm-70cm and 61cm-70cm in the low moderate and high infection categories. Eighty (20.0%) of 238 (59.5 %) females examined were gravid. 57 (14.3%) of gravid females examined were infected. Absolute 231 Copyright © IAARR 2012: www.afrrevjo.net/stch AFRREV STECH, Vol. 1 (3) August-December, 2012 fecundity range of 3,865 eggs to 28,675 eggs and 3,601 eggs to 24,699 eggs and relative fecundity of 366 and 251 were recorded for uninfected and infected fish respectively. Oocyte diameter varied between 1.0mm and 3.6mm and 0.3mm and 1.8mm for uninfected and infected gravid females.

Nickol 9.1 Introduction In practice, epizootiology deals with how parasites spread through host populations, how rapidly the spread occurs and whether or not epizootics result. Prevalence, incidence, factors that permit establishment ofinfection, host response to infection, parasite fecundity and methods of transfer are, therefore, aspects of epizootiology. Indeed, most aspects of a parasite could be related in sorne way to epizootiology, but many ofthese topics are best considered in other contexts. General patterns of transmission, adaptations that facilitate transmission, establishment of infection and occurrence of epizootics are discussed in this chapter. When life cycles are unknown, little progress can be made in under­ standing the epizootiological aspects ofany group ofparasites.
