LAWLER Parasitology Section, Gulf Coast Research Laboratory, Ocean Springs, Mississippi 39564 ABSTRACT Four species of parasitic dinoflagellates have been found to occur naturally on the gills and fins of Missis- sippi Sound fishes: Amyloodinium ocellatum (Brown 1931) Brown and Hovasse 1946, Oodinium cyprinodontum Lawler 1967, and two undescribed species. Sixteen of 43 species of fishes examined had natural gill infections of A. ocellatum. Seventy-one of 79 species of fishes exposed to A. ocellatum dinospores were susceptible, and succumbed, to the dinoflagel- late. Eight did not die even though exposed to numerous dinospores. The most common signs in an infested fish were spasmodic gasping and uncoordinated movements.

  • 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.

  • Relationships Between Oceanographic Factors and the Distribution of Juvenile Coho Salmon
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Alton W. Chung for the degree of Master of Science in Oceanography presented on March 1, 1985 Title: Relationships Between Oceanographic Factors and the Distribution of Juvenile Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) Of f Oregon and Washington, 1982-1983 Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: Dr. William G. Pearc Juvenile coho salmon (101-400 mm) were sampled by purse seine off the Pacific Coast from Waatch Point, Washington to Four Mile Creek, Oregon, out to 30 mi offshore, during the months of May, June, and September in 1982 and 1983. Sea surface temperature, surface salinity, surface chlorophyll-a concentration, and Secchi depth were measured at each station. Sea surface temperatures were higher in 1983 than in 1982, while surface chlorophyll-a concentrations and surface salinities were lower. Catch data were not highly correlated with any of the four physical parameters measured. Strong northerly winds and strong upwelling tended to disperse juvenile coho offshore and south. Fish were found closer inshore during periods of weak winds and weak upwelling. In both years the center of distribution of the fish appeared to shift northward as the summer progressed. Larger fish, in general, were found farther north and offshore throughout the year.

Our previous proteomic analysis conrmed the presence of immunomodulatory products in the secretory / excretory products (SEPs) of Argulus foliaceus (Linnaeus, 1758). In this study, high-throughput sequencing was employed on host- associated stages of A. foliaceus and A. coregoni Thorell, 1865, with comparisons made to a pre-existing transcriptome dataset for A. siamensis. A total of 84,256,934 reads assembled into 66,940 contigs for A. foliaceus, and 10,840,092 reads to give 40,954 contigs for A. coregoni, comprises the largest current genomic data set for the genus Argulus. GO analysis of the top 100 shared genes revealed A. coregoni to be phylogenetically more closely related to A.
